Tea For Terror

On this festive episode, host Andrew Graves and his stateside buddy, Dan Taylor discuss the early naughties (classic?), Santa's Slay. Discussing the movie's ungrammatical merits, the pair also tap into bad Christmas films, great Christmas films and Tiny Lister's missed opportunity. You have been warned. 

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and guest Tim Dry (XTRO, RETURN OF THE JEDI) discuss Neil Marshall’s grim subterranean horror flick THE DESCENT (2005). With its visceral scares and more psychological aspects, this British cult classic doesn’t just take us physically into the depths of the Earth, it also reaches into our subconscious, peeling away the surface to reveal our deeper human fears.

On this episode, your host Andrew Graves is joined by We Belong Dead’s Darrell Buxton and the director of our chosen feature, SLEEPWALKER (1984), Saxon Logan. It’s a dark horror of the Thatcher era, laced with bleak chills and social commentary. Together we discuss the film and its politics, as well as Hammer horror, the Carry-On films and James Whale’s THE OLD DARK HOUSE (1932). You have been warned.

On this episode, host Andrew Graves shelter from the outside world in an austere nuclear fallout bunker. Hounded by mad scientists, drunken Irish men and trigger happy soldiers they try to make sense of their existential cold war angst. Oh, and there are zombies too.  

To celebrate the release of John Harrison’s incredible new book, CREATURES OF THE SCREEN, we take a look at one of the best examples of KISSPLOITATION – Walter Hill’s THE WARRIORS (1979). Together we veer off into KISS, Alice Cooper and Twisted Sister, and decide which of the film’s street gangs is the best, and why it’s definitely not The Hi-Hats. You have been warned.

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and James Rose find themselves stranded at a frozen research station wondering who the hell they are, and if they are about to turn into a disgusting spider-head creature. Together they explore Carpenter's THE THING, touching upon masculinity, monsters and messed up effects. You have been warned. 

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and guest Tim Dry (Xtro, Return of the Jedi) plunge the hunting dagger deep into the heart of small town America and examine the entrails of Donald Cammell's esoteric and distinctly British take on the US slasher. Bleak, strange and thought provoking, White of the Eye (1987) is an overlooked 80s gem. You have been warned. 

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and extra special guest, the brilliant Barbie Wilde, delve deep into the strange world of Alejandro Jodorowsky, investigating his surreal Psycho-induced nightmare – Santa Sangre (1989). You have been warned.

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and guest Darrell Buxton find themselves locked in the nursery of mad matriarch Ruth Roman, in Ted Post’s uncomfortably weird tale of adult babies and abuse The Baby (1973). But is this simply a piece of early 70s exploitation, or is there something else going on in the playroom? You have been warned.

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and guest Darrell Buxton, find themselves trapped in an elevator at the mercy lowlifes, thieves and murderers, and the complete horror show, we sometimes called America. 

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and NYX TV rep James Whittington, get their teeth stuck into Robert Egger’s new interpretation of Nosferatu (2024). On the heels of the earlier Werner Herzog outing and of course the German expressionist 1922 classic, Eggers certainly has much to prove. But fear not, this latest incarnation is smart, disturbing and has plenty to say about the world we live in today. You have been warned.

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and guest Ian Taylor contemplate the nature fame, celebrity and cinema as they examine one of the decade’s most incendiary horror flicks Pearl (2022). Expect plenty of chat about Mia Goth, Ti West and 21st century horror.

On this extra, extra special episode my guest, the brilliant RICHARD STANLEY (Hardware, Dust Devil, Color out of Space) talks about the greatest monster movie ever made KING KONG (1933). Expect chat about AI, H.P. Lovecraft, Willis O’Brien, Merian C. Cooper, Fay Wray, and Pre-code Movies. “It was beauty killed the beast.” You have been warned.

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and Dan Taylor find their stockings full of murderous surprises when they give Edmund Purdom's dodgy Xmas shocker another go. Expect the worst British Santas you've ever seen, nonsensical plot lines and 80s grot. You have been warned. 

Like, on this episode, Andrew Graves and Darrell Buxton make the scene, dig it? Leaving the squares behind they head out to the coffee shop, click their way through some heavy poetry then get their kicks watching A Bucket of Blood (1959) by some cat called Corman. Murder, laughs and art, they try to noodle it out. So, like, listen in all you cheap creeps, it’s sure to be a gas.
