Greetings from the Morgue!
This week we talk two barmy British isles-based folk horror monster movies with Ken Russell's Lair of the White Worm (Vyrm) and George Pavlou's Rawhead Rex, based on stories by literary horror heavyweights Bram Stoker and our Lord and Saviour, Sir Clive Barker himself.
Please watch the movies before you listen lest ye hear spoilers and we wouldn't want to ruin them for you!
We also read some listener comments and feedback and ask What Have You Watched with a spot of Pedro Pascal-spotting on the side.
Listen, rate, share, leave us a comment, thanks for tuning in!

As usual, please check out the films BEFORE you listen if you want to avoid spoilers and please consider leaving us a nice review/rating or sharing our show with like-minded friends...
