Tea For Terror

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.

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.

Imagine a podcast. Picture a moment in time where two people, Andrew Graves and Emma Dark, find themselves on a journey into the shadows. It might also be our journey. Listen as we plunge ever deeper into the strange limitless realms of the Tea For Terror Zone.

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and guest Tim Dry (Xtro, Return of the Jedi), find themselves enclaved in the decaying town house of a reclusive ex-rock star. Together chat about the Nic Roeg/Donald Cammell arthouse piece Peformance (1970). They also ponder life's mysteries, discuss gangland villains and generally get off of their faces in a cut and paste, non-linear fashion. You have been warned. 

On this episode, host Andrew Graves is joined by Barbie Wilde (Hellbound: Hellraiser II) and together they spend an ill-advised evening at the theatre. As the curtains open they find themselves at the mercy of disgruntled thesp Edward Lionheart. This 1973 Vincent Price vehicle is sure to get your blood pumping. Prepare for Shakespearian levels of violence and gore. You have been warned. 

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and guest Eric McNaughton find themselves stranded at a strange castle somewhere in the Carpathians.

You have been warned.

On this episode, Andrew Graves and Tom Gigliotti from Shout It Out Loudcast, slap on the greasepaint and spandex and go for a spin on the roller coaster and investigate the cheapo bin fire that is KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park (1978). Less Hard Day’s Night and more trick-or-treat kiddie show, will this Hanna-Barbera TV movie make them want to Rock and Roll all Nite or have them reaching for the Cold Gin?

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and VERY special guest Ari Lehman (the very first Jason Vorhees) speculative whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or sit and watch Lawrence Olivier’s classy horror flick Hamlet (1948). Together they muse on life death and the existential, and of course Friday the 13th (1980). Alas poor Jason, we knew him well…
