Episode 49 sees Andy and Mitch joined by the director of the absolutely excellent Frightfest 2018/Celluloid Screams 2018 (and MANY more) selection, Lifechanger... it's Justin McConnell! His chosen film? Ice Cream Man! Wow. This one is pretty special. Featuring an absolutely bonkers cast with names like Olivia Hussey, David Naughton, Jan Michael Vincent, Sandahl Bergman and David Warner, Ice Cream Man is anchored by a truly interesting and oddly layered performance from Clint Howard. A quintessential video shop delight, Ice Cream Man is a forgotten oddity that is just longing to be seen... But does that make it good?  The synopsis is as follows:  Gregory, the local ice cream man, just wants people to be nice to him and to sell the neighborhood children his ice cream treats. Unfortunately, the adults disrespect him, and the kids fear him, so, as any recently released mental patient would do, Gregory begins brutally murdering anyone who prevents him from having a happy, happy, happy day... Please note tha

Episode 48 sees Andy and Mitch joined by YouTube producer, journalist, gamer and frequent contributor to the Evolution of Horror Podcast... it's Louise Blain! Her chosen film? Dead Silence! The time is sometime after Saw catapulted them into the limelight. James Wan and Leigh Whannell followed it up with this little curiosity. A film which sees Ryan Kwanten do battle with a vengeful tongue-stealin' spectre whose soul resides in a ventriloquist's dummy! This film made Andy laugh-snort several times. It's wild BUT IS IT GOOD?? The synopsis is as follows:  After his wife meets a grisly end, Jamie Ashen returns to their creepy hometown of Raven's Fair to unravel the mystery of her murder. Once there, he discovers the legend of Mary Shaw, a murdered ventriloquist whose eerie presence still looms over the town. As he desperately digs for answers, Jamie encounters the curse that took his wife's life and threatens his own.

Episode 47 sees Andy and Mitch joined in the SVPC HQ by the man behind film-based stand-up show Cineman, it's comedian and general film fan, Chris Thorburn! His chosen film? Devil's Advocate! With a A-list cast and a batshit bonkers third act, Devil's Advocate sees an incendiary performance from Al Pacino completely eclipse the robotic chops of Keanu Reeves, Charlize Theron and, well, just about everyone in the film. It's a wild, old time, no mistake.  The synopsis is as follows:  Aspiring Florida defense lawyer Kevin Lomax accepts a high-powered position at a New York law firm headed by legal shark John Milton. As Kevin moves up in the firm's ranks, his wife, Mary Ann, has several frightening, mystical experiences that begin to warp her sense of reality. With the stakes getting higher with each case, Kevin quickly learns that his mentor is planning a far greater evil than simply winning without scruples.

Episode 46 sees Andy and Mitch joined by...No-one! Yes, the streak has ended and due to a cancellation/rescheduling, we bring you the first Mitch v Andy episode of 2019! Andy picked Christmas Evil last time, so that means it's Mitch's turn... His chosen film? Carrie (2013)! You can't keep a socially awkward, psychic teen down! 2013 saw the arrival of yet another imagining of Stephen King's debut novel, starring Chloe Grace Moretz, Julianne Moore, Judy Greer, Ansel Elgort and Portia Doubleday, the film was pretty critically reviled but has time been kind? Was thehate unmerited?  The synopsis is as follows:  High school can be tough for many teenagers, but for Carrie White, it's especially hellish. A shy and awkward teen being raised by a religious zealot, Carrie is frequently the target of bullies. But Carrie has a secret talent: She can make things move with her mind.

Episode 43 sees Andy and Mitch joined by the host of the absolutely excellent Evolution of Horror Podcast (which was one of the first podcast recommendations in the early minisodes)... it's Mike Muncer!  His chosen film? Urban Legend! Following the release and subsequent success of Wes Craven's Scream, the slasher film enjoyed something of a renaissance. However, it's fair to say that this came with mixed results. Films like I Know What You Did Last Summer were well received, while films like Cherry Falls and Valentine, were less so and have largely slipped out of memory.  Standing tall in the pile, and yet often overlooked, is Urban Legend! With a cast that includes Alicia Witt, Jared Leto, Rebecca Gayheart, Tara Reid, Joshua Jackson and Robert Englund, Urban Legend is a fun, if frequently nonsensical slasher, that shouldn't be forgotten. Check it out, or don't.  The synopsis is as follows:  A university is beset by a rash of gruesome murders that resemble old urban legends. When her friend Michelle

Episode 42 sees Andy and Mitch release their long-gestating LISTENER'S CHOICE episode. As for the guest? Well it's a returning guest! In fact, it's the first guest that ever appeared on the show, way back in Episode 2! He is the voice of Insane Championship Wrestling, a radio host, panto star and, crucially, award winning comedian... It's Billy Kirkwood!  The chosen film? Howard The Duck! A film chosen by listener Lauren McIntyre! In her defence, Lauren said:  "There is only one film that I need to suggest you consider... Willard Huyck's 1986 science fiction extravaganza Howard the Duck!  "Why the fuck would we do that?!" you might ask. Well first off, it's mental. A really horrible looking space duck gets sucked out of his living room (while he's reading an issue of Play Duck) and transported to Earth, where he meets wannabee rock star Beverly. Together they manage to save the Earth from intergalactic demons. What's not to like?  Ok, the tone of the film is all over the shop, the anthropomorphic duc

Things get incredibly sexy in Episode 41 as Andy and Mitch joined by the news editor for Wicked Horror and contributor to outlets such as Vague Visages, BirthMoviesDeath and The List... it's Joey Keogh!  Her chosen film? Queen of The Damned! Coming almost a decade after Interview With The Vampire, the continuing story of the Vampire Lestat sees him brought screaming into the present, fronting the biggest rock band in the world (also called The Vampire Lestat) and inadvertently awakening the Goddess of all vampires, Akasha, played by the late Aaliyah.  Critically mocked and generally overlooked, though featuring an incredible nu-metal soundtrack, Queen of The Damned is a film that may not merit the scorn... Let's dig in and see.  The synopsis is as follows:  Follows the legendary vampire Lestat, who has reinvented himself as a rock star in the contemporary American music scene. His music wakes Akasha, the queen of all vampires, and inspires her desire to make Lestat her king. Akasha's malevolent power i
