A Year In Horror

Your host Paul Waller (not Weller) is a horror movie addict. During 2020 the workload for his band and music management job slowed right down.
At this same time he discovered the movie social networking platform LETTERBOXD. Armed with this database he decided to fill in the gaps of his horror film knowledge. Within week one he was averaging 3 a day.
This podcast is the result of that horror compulsion - A YEAR IN HORROR

1963 (Part 3)
It's time for one of those huge episodes. Well, it's a three parter anyways. 1963 was not the most ground breaking year for horror movies, well, as far as the big hitter films are concerned anyways. The highs are really high & the lows are few & far between. But, what do I think was the very greatest horror movie that came out during 1963? Well, here we have the top 10. The worst 10. A slew of also rans. Some awesome mates. Some special guests. Several pints of beer and over 4 hours of running t

Today sees the UK cinema release of Doctor Jekyll. The very movie that is re-launching the mother of all UK horror studios, Hammer Films.

2008 (Part 3)
It's time for one of those massive episodes. Well, it's a four parter anyways. 2008 was a pretty low key year for horror movies. Of course there were tons of them released but except for the likes of Cloverfield & the fifth Saw sequel, I don't recall the world in general going nuts for any of this stuff. Looking at my findings today, it appears that with horror we looked away from America for the real gems . But what do I think was the very greatest horror movie that came out during '08? Well, h

UK post rocking underground legends COLDBONES have recently announced that they have gone on a hiatus. This was recorded just a few days before that announcement. I get it, of course, once you appear on A Year In Horror it's difficult to see where your art can go from there. How do you top the highest high?
