Welcome back to the Morgue!
In this episode, we talk about four films we think would be great for a Halloween marathon (perhaps an all-nighter) and talk to writer/producer of TERRIFYING, found-footage, zoom call seance gone wrong masterpiece, Host. Other films include You Might Be The Killer, Scare Me and Deadstream.
As well as our regular insights into the films we've chosen, regular feature How Many Cats Are In It is back as well plus we've got a competition for you which you can enter to win your very own Live From Manchester Morgue Trucker hat!

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.
