Guest: Ed

In our Twenty-Fourth episode we meet Ed, who tends to avoid Horror as he's a bit of a scaredy cat. Listen as we curate two movies where everyday or innocuous events could be explicable or mundane but turn out to be otherworldly.

We get excited about autumn, the department of health in the hero, we see that the woman are all smart, we think thoughts, we wonder how do you clean mud, we play Cluedo with Donald Sutherland in the Garden, we all recognise the womb noise, we take speed, we face our fears, we’re cursed, we swim with real skeletons, we face the clown, we inexplicably leave the curtains open, and we also discuss the movies Invasion of The Body Snatchers and Poltergeist.
