oh man, I have BEEN there

Jen and Tim are joined by laser-sharp media critic Gretchen Felker-Martin (@scumbelievable on Twitter) to talk over a movie that close to 50 years later is still too hot for TV: Ken Russell’s The Devils!

Gretchen has a Patreon; go support her if you love horror writing!

For more on some top-notch British filmmaking, listen to our episode about Alan Clarke’s The Firm (we also talk about the remake, but don’t hold that against us).

010 – Dead of Night

Jen and Tim discuss a classic and sadly overlooked gem of British horror television, Dead of Night. The series dates from 1972 and thus, emerging as it did during a less enlightened time when it came to archiving, only three of the original seven episodes still exist.

Watch the Paranormal Activity parody written and directed by Tim and starring your hosts (!) on Youtube.

For more British horror, listen to our episode on the controversial 1992 special, Ghostwatch.
