Episode 40: FrightFest 2018 Preview - Paul McEvoy Interview
We are very proud to present our very first interview - and what an interview it was - with PAUL McEVOY. Paul is one of the organisers of FrightFest, the biggest genre festival in the UK. Hear his thoughts on this year’s lineup and what we should be watching, such as THE RANGER, UPGRADE, TIGERS ARE NOT AFRAID, CLIMAX and much more. Plus his honest opinions on why big studios won’t show their films at FrightFest, current horror trends, why Frightfest doesn’t just show horror movies, why some movies are more divisive than others and much more. Even if you’ve never heard of FrightFest, you will still be enthralled and entertained for all 60 minutes!

Episode 44: Extreme Cannibals - Eaten Alive!, Jungle Holocaust and Savage Terror

Greg Knox and Ria Fend drink the Kool-Aid and return to Video Nasties, with the BBFC’s section three of banned films. A surprisingly light, humorous Extreme Cannibal movie episode - giving the aura of a cult leader with a stupid haircut. This episode may as well be sponsored by J&B Whiskey and funky jazz.

Episode 30: Video Nasties - Possession, The Witch Who Came From the Sea and Expose
For the next two episodes, we are covering video nasties featuring women who kill. Or crazy ladies: something most of us can all relate to I’m sure. The three nasties in part one are more psychological and interesting than most. Expect a woman having sex with an octopus, 70s dialogue, tattoos drawn on in biro, vegan bread and the glorious return of the real-or-not-real game. Timestamps:Possession: 3:13 - 40:48The Witch Who Came From the Sea: 40:48 - 56:16Expose: 56:16 - 1:15:17

Episode 25: Best and Worst Horror Films of 2017
It’s that time of year again - and the one year anniversary of the show - as we decide our best and worst horror films of 2017. One thing we can all agree on is that 2017 has been one of the best years for horror in recent memory, which made it really really hard to pick our best films of the year. As is customary, there are also terrible films to vent our fury at, which is very cathartic and fun. Do you agree with our choices? Let us know and thank you for listening. Timestamps:Bottom Five Films of 2017: 1:31 - 22:00Top Ten Films of 2017: 22:00 - 55:32

Episode 37: Video Nasties - Zombie Flesh Eaters, The Beyond and The House by the Cemetery
If you’ve never listened to one of our shows before, this is the one you want to start off with. It’s one of, if not, the best shows we’ve done. These are the last three video nasties reviews and all three films on the show today are directed by the Godfather of Gore himself, Lucio Fulci. These are all great films that we highly recommend. You should expect old lady zombies with lazy eyes, a zombie vs. shark fight, splinters to the eye, thug life crabs, the Book of Eibon, gateways to hell, dogs called Dickie, killer tarantulas, Michael Jackson’s Thriller, horrendous child dubbing and, because it’s Fulci, many many brutal deaths. And you will face the sea of darkness, and all therein that may be explored…   Timestamps: Zombie Flesh Eaters: 3:54 - 28:47 The Beyond: 28:47 - 54:27 The House by the Cemetery: 54:27 - 1:13:34

Episode 35: Video Nasties - Inferno, Contamination and Zombie Creeping Flesh
Three more Italian video nasties, this time with a supernatural theme. There’s the follow-up to a classic, a film about killer eggs and a cheesy zombie film… so a mixed bag quality-wise but still fun to review nonetheless! Including many many cats, wet t-shirt contests, Ghostbusters, rats with red eyes, exploding eggs, Goblin, creatures with lightbulb eyes, jungle elephants and 24 Days Later - you read that right. Check it out before it gets outsourced!   Timestamps: Inferno: 2:17 - 31:10 Contamination: 31:10 - 52:13 Zombie Creeping Flesh: 52:13 - 1:16:45

Episode 34: Video Nasties - Nightmares in a Damaged Brain, Anthropophagus and Absurd
We’ve covered slasher films before on The Lament Configuration but these are a little bit different: these are Italian slasher films, so expect lots of gore and sleaze. These three video video nasties are all available on DVD and Blu-ray from 88 Films if you want to check them out. Featuring the world’s most inept psychiatric facility, old computers, bad child acting, questionable effects, Germans wearing giant headphones, bad toupees, ketchup, and ummm… foetus eating. Make sure to have your compasses at the ready!   Timestamps: Nightmares in a Damaged Brain: 1:57 - 31:17 Anthropophagus: 31:17 - 48:22 Absurd: 48:22 - 1:06:09
