100 horrors by 100 Horrors
Last Updated: January 27, 2026
100 Horrors is an award winning comedy podcast that seeks to rank the best one-hundred horror films of all time (as dictated by a poster that one of us owns). Every week we bicker over another film in an attempt to give it an overall Scare-Factor and secure its place in the 100 Horrors list. With features such as I Don’t Want to Die, But at Least I Won’t Die Like That and What Would You Say at the Victim’s Funeral we take a light-hearted approach to horror cinema so that it can be enjoyed by even the most squeamish of listeners!
Episode 150: Nosferatu (2024)
This week we talk about the 2024 Robert Eggers film Nosferatu. I'd say more but, honestly, lets face it, nobody reads this bit.
EPISODE 147 - LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL (2023)
After what has been FAR too long away, we’re back this week with a scorching new(ish) film to discuss. Late Night With The Devil has been taking Shudder, Tik Tok and the horror world by storm with its blend of late night talk show, 70s charm and satanic possession.
Episode 146 - Speak No Evil (2022)
This week we dive into 2022’s Speaker No evil, a film that demonstrates passivity through politeness so intensely that even WE think it we would have spoken openly of our displeasure with the situation, and were British! Speak No Evil comes highly recommended by our wonderful followers over @100Horrors and if you would like to recommend a film, please do! We’re always on the look out for hidden gems like this one, and so we welcome your input!
Episode 145 - The Wicker Man (1973)
Somehow we have not discussed cult classic The Wicker Man in any of the 144 episodes this podcast has run for. Today we change this with huge thanks to Miss Jess Austin who brought this injustice to our attention. You’re the realest, Miss Jess!
EPISODE 144 - Cemetery Man
Cemetery Man is brought you by request of the wonderful Mr Ahimsa Kerp.
Episode 143 - HOST (2020)
Ah, lockdown. That thing SUCKED. While most of the world was getting heavily into sleeping till noon and Fortnite, some of us worked tirelessly. If you are a health professional, or an educator, or law enforcement, then Covid was just another way to make your job ten times harder. If you were a film maker, you also faced a significant difficulty in getting anything off the ground. This is why then, Host is not only a lungful of fresh air when it comes to genre exploration, but it is also a wonder that it exists at all. It so perfectly captures the zeitgeist of Covid lockdowns, whilst at the same time managing to be shit scary. But does that mean that it’s good? I guess you’ll have to listen to find out!
Episode 142 - The Belko Experiment
The Belko Experiment is covered this week at the request of Mr Callum Langford. If you would like us to cover a film, send us a voice recording at 100horrors@gmail.com and we’ll add it to the list!

As the characters navigate this nightmarish highway, they must confront their own demons and pay a steep price for their sins. "Southbound" is a visually striking and psychologically haunting film that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats with its twisted and interconnected narratives.
Episode 125 - The Amityville Horror (1979)
Episode 124 - Green Room (2015)
Episode 122 - Final Destination (2000)
Episode 121 - Mum and Dad (2008)

Episode 119 - Candyman (2021)
"Candyman," released in 2021 and written by Jordan Peele, is a highly acclaimed supernatural horror film that received positive reviews from both critics and audiences alike. The film serves as a spiritual sequel to the original "Candyman" from 1992, while also offering a fresh and contemporary take on the urban legend.
Episode 118 - Signs (2002)
Having lost his religious faith after the horrific car accident that claimed the life of his wife, the emotionally broken former Episcopal priest, Graham Hess (Mel Gibson), retreats to a remote farm surrounded by corn in Pennsylvania to live with his two young children and younger brother. Six short months later, a sinister undercurrent of dread starts to take over the family when mysterious crop-circle formations appear in his field, and the same circular patterns manifest all over the world. More and more, as equally unexplained happenings occur, grief and denial mix with paranoia, making a highly volatile combination. Is this an elaborate hoax, an ominous sign from above, or could it be, indeed, the end of the world as we know it?
Episode 117 - The Offering (2022)
The son of a Hasidic funeral director returns home with his pregnant wife in hopes of reconciling with his father. Little do they know that an ancient evil lurking inside a mysterious corpse has sinister plans for their unborn child.
Episode 116 - The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)
Something’s wrong with Emily Rose, a college student from a devout Roman Catholic family in the Midwest. Once a happy-go-lucky girl, she has started seeing strange visions, falling into body-contorting convulsions, speaking in strange voices and mutilating her body. Doctors at first suspect epilepsy or psychosis. But when Emily does not respond to medical treatment, her family and the Catholic Archdiocese suspect something more sinister: demon possession. Father Richard Moore, the family’s priest, is called in to perform the rite of exorcism to rid Emily of her demonic tormentors.
Episode 115 - Alien (1979)
In the distant future, the crew of the commercial spaceship Nostromo are on their way home when they pick up a distress call from a distant moon. The crew are under obligation to investigate and the spaceship descends on the moon afterwards. After a rough landing, three crew members leave the spaceship to explore the area on the moon. At the same time as they discover a hive colony of some unknown creature, the ship's computer deciphers the message to be a warning, not a distress call. When one of the eggs is disturbed, the crew realizes that they are not alone on the spaceship and they must deal with the consequences.
Episode 114 - Saint Maud (2019)
There but for the grace of God goes Maud, a reclusive young nurse whose impressionable demeanor causes her to pursue a pious path of Christian devotion after an obscure trauma. Now charged with the hospice care of Amanda, a retired dancer ravaged by cancer, Maud's fervent faith quickly inspires an obsessive conviction that she must save her ward's soul from eternal damnation - whatever the cost. Making her feature-film debut, writer/director Rose Glass cannily lures the audience into this disturbed psyche, steadily setting up her veritable diary of a country nurse for an unnerving and ultimately shocking trajectory. Morfydd Clark portrays the sanctimonious Maud with an intense stoicism that belies a disquieting vulnerability, as Maud desperately vies for absolution and solidarity from her embittered patient.
Episode 113 - Sinister (2012)
In the 2012 horror film "Sinister," true-crime writer Ellison Oswalt (played by Ethan Hawke) moves his family into a new home, hoping to uncover a captivating story for his next book. However, his fascination with the macabre takes a twisted turn when he discovers a box of disturbing home videos in the attic. As Ellison delves deeper into the chilling footage, he realizes that they depict a series of brutal murders linked to a mysterious supernatural entity. As his obsession grows, Ellison unwittingly puts his family at risk and becomes entangled in a terrifying web of evil forces that threaten to consume them all.
Episode 112 - Barbarian (2022)
Released in 2022, Barbarian follows Tess, a woman who rents an Air BnB in a rough part of Detroit only to find that the guy who plays Pennywise also has the place booked. While yes, this is by no means the worst thing that has ever happened to anyone in an airBnB, Tess is still understandably upset by this and so they spend an awkward night getting to know one another. It naturally turns out though, that they are not alone in there...
Episode 111 - Smile (2022)
Released in 2022, Smile
Episode 109 - Cloverfield (2008)
After becoming an instant cult classic after its release in 2008, Cloverfield has enjoyed its post release life bathed in a nostalgic glow. With a mosnterous budget of $25 million, Cloverfield was found footage like we had never seen before. With only The Blair Witch Project to compare it to, its easy to see how audiences may have been tricked into thinking that this was a hyper budget blockbuster.
Episode 109 - Midsommar (2019)
When I first saw Midsommar, I was in a cinema with Paul, and as the film drew to its beautiful, horrifying and oddly joyous ending I knew I had just witnessed one of the best horror films that will ever be made. With Midsommar, Ari Aster takes a story that has been told before (it's basically The Wicker Man) and tells it so well that it becomes a beast all of its own.
Episode 108 - His house (2020)
His House tells the story of a refugee couple who escape war torn Sudan only to find new struggles whilst adjusting to their life in an unforgiving English town. Not only do they face the natural terrors of being in an alien land, suddenly becoming an ethnic and cultural minority and having to deal with the putrid undercurrent of racism that runs silently through every interaction they have with their new countrymen, there's also a witch in their house, so... you know... they've had better days...
Episode 107 - Evil Bong (2006)
When you're as ultra-conservative as the lads at 100 Horrors are, all bongs are evil. Weed. Marijuana. Pot. Mary Jane. Call it what you like, we still call it The Devil's Lettuce and will do until we go to our hardline Christian graves...
Episode 106 - NOPE (2022)
Jordan Peele is a director with a problem. In 2017 he released his debut feature film after spending the majority of his career working in comedy, and it was surprisingly BRILLIANT. Get out - a film you can hear us review somewhere in the back catalogue - is a perfect film, and it quite rightly launched Jordan Peele's name past the pile labelled "up and coming" and onto the wall where most horror directors can only dream of finding their names carved in stone. Oddly though, therein lies the problem. The pressure to make sure that any and all future releases hold up to Get Out (and it's critically acclaimed follow up, "US") must be monumental. It really comes as no surprise then, that for film number 3, Peele segwayed out of horror and into Sci-Fi.
Episode 105 - Skinamarink (2022)
Director Kyle Edward Ball cut his teeth on YouTube, making making terrifying visual accompaniments to the nightmares that people submitted to him across Reddit. After that, he pulled together the money to make Skinamarink, which for a mere $15,000 took the Tik Tok world by storm and gained huge noteriety before many had even had the chance to watch it. The film then made its way to Shudder, and then recommendations subsequently landed in our inbox from a lot of our listeners who insisted that we just "had" to see this movie.
Episode 104 - Possum (2018)
Let's face it. Puppets are creepy as it is. You put your hand where the sun don't shine, and then they come to life. Equally creepy are the people who own and operate puppets. Ventriloquism, the act of being able to speak without moving one's lips is a talent that to me seems like witchcraft, and we all know how I feel about witches.
Episode 103 - The VVitch
Remember a time before it became cool to identify as a wiccan? Remember the time before it became the done thing to burn sage in your house, keep crystals in your pockets and collect tarrot cards like they had little Charizards on their reverses? Do you remember a time when witches stole babies, ground them up and used their guts to make their brooms fly? Thankfully, Robert Eggers remembers. Join us this week when we discuss the 2015 masterpiece, The VVitch.
EPISODE 102 - TERRIFIER 2 (2022)
This week we explore the second in what is likely to be a horror franchise that - like it’s terrifying antagonist - just won’t die. Seriously though, if you thought that Art being shot in the face five times was going to be enough to keep that particular clown down, you were sorely mistaken. You probably weren’t however, anywhere near as sore as Art’s victims are going to be by the time they meet their respective fates. Seriously, to say that this film is gruesome would be like saying the three people who made up the human centipede had a less than ideal diet…Tune in to find out just what was it was that even WE thought had gone a bit too far…
Episode 101 - Terrifier (2016)
In Season 02 Episode 01 of 100 Horrors we discuss Damien Leone's Terrifier. Made for an ABSURD $35k, this film has arguably laid the foundations of one of the most talked about Horror franchises of the modern age, and it has established Art The Clown as a contender for the prestigious "spookiest clown aside from IT" title. What is truly terrifying about this episode though, is that you can now watch a video of us recording it. Just unlock your Spotify app and look. There we are! Aren't we 'orrible!? Seriously though, if you don't like looking at us, you can still just listen to the episode rather than watching it. We really don't mind!
Episode 100 - The Shining (1980) LIVE!
In our final episode of season one, we (and around 55 of our friends!!) took over Off The Ground Coffee Shop in Middlesbrough to watch Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. Released in 1980, Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is based on the work of Steven King. Set in the Overlook hotel... ah you know what, who cares? WE MADE IT TO EPISODE 100 EVERYONE! THANKS FOR BEING THERE WITH US!!
Episode 099 - Salem's Lot (1975)
We'll be taking a little break between now and the launch of season 02, which starts with episode 100 of Season 01. Confusing, I know. Check back on the socials to see when the next episode will be landing wherever you get your podcasts!
Episode 098 - Doctor Jeckyll and Mr Hyde (1931)
Doctor Jeckyll is a man obsessed by the notion that each of us is made of two parts. One part of us is good, caring and empathetic. The other is blunt, crass, violent and rude, fuelled by narcissism and a set of hedonistic base desires. He creates a potion that brings out the bad side, allowing it to fully take control of the whole person and run riot for an evening before retreating back into the whole by morning. Doctor Jeckyll could quite easily have saved a lot of lab time by simply necking four cans of Special Brew and a bottle of Lambrini, but I suppose the 30s were a different time...
Episode 097 - Nightbreed (1990)
Tonight we explore the extent to which alcohol is an influencing factor on our rating system. Clive Barker's Nightbreed is a hodgepodge of serial killer who-dun-it cliche, heavy handed Larbythian costume design and some of the quietest whisper acting ever committed to film. After watching this film through the lens of a couple of IPAs, one of us nearly gave this a seven. Is this the wake up call we've been looking for? Or is it actually a cry for help after watching almost 100 awful films? Tune in to this week's 100 Horrors to find out!
Episode 096 - Nosferatu (1922)
Episode 096 - Nosferatu (1922)
Episode 095 - The Day of the Triffids (1962)
Vegans. I can’t help but feel they’re hiding something from us. Yes, they’re right that we as a species contribute to the suffering of animals for culinary gain. They’re also correct when they tell us that the land used to raise these animals is taken directly from land desperately needed for rainforests and that as meat eaters (particularly beef eaters) we’re destroying the planet. What I think they’re not telling us though, is that there’s a very real chance that one day Plants will be able to walk around at very slow speeds and will shoot stingers into us that will turn us green. Thank god we have a film like The Day of the Triffids to warn us of this! Papa Joe Fodor joins us this week to discuss the 1962 creature feature!
Episode 094 - Dead Ringers (1988)
If you like your horror films without any of the frightening characters, settings, characters or horrific situations that you might expect in a genre text, then this might be the one for you. In actuality, it's not at all fair to call David Cronenberg's Dead Ringers a horror film at all. Quite why it was listed on the 100 Horrors poster is beyond us. It wasn't fair on the film to make us review it, and it wasn't fair on us to make us watch it. THANKS MENKIND. Only six to go!
Episode 093 - Death Race 2000 (1975)
Any race has the potential to turn into a death race, but one in which Silvester Stallone races a turbo charged fair ground ride against a Neo-Nazi, a naked lady and man who's sexual deviance will ultimately cost him his life has a higher potential than most. Paul Bartel's Death Race 2000 explores a world in which sport has evolved into knocking down pedestrians for points in a race across the U.S.A. It's crass and its bombastic and its incredibly entertaining, but it is NOT A HORROR FILM. Serious, why are we even discussing this one!? Tune in to this episode of 100 Horrors to find out!
Episode 092 - The Descent (2005)
This week's film features a group of women taking part in an activity known as "Spelunking", which is the act of exploring small (and often wet) holes. It has an all female cast and is rated a solid 18 by the BBFC. I can't help but feel that at least some people who read that description are going to be disappointed by the actual content of Neil Marshall's 2005 British horror classic The Descent, but for those of who can see past the equal parts clumsy and crass double entendres, you are in for an absolute treat.
Episode 091 - Don't Look Now (1973)
A quick Google search of "Don't Look Now" brings up a wealth of web articles offering to explain what the ending of the film means. Personally, I would love an article that explains what any of this film's one hour and fifty minute run time means. Infinitely loose and extremely ambiguous, Nick Roeg's Don't Look Now is widely regarded as one of the best British films (not even just one of the best British horror films) of all time. Naturally, we all hated it. Find out why, send your hate mail to the usual address. You get the drill by now. We've nearly done a hundred of these!
Episode 090 - Ginger Snaps (2000)
Strange new feelings she can't explain. Hair growing in places where there was no hair before. An insatiable interest in boy's bodies. Blood everywhere... That's right. Ginger is becoming a woman!
Episode 089 - Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Look, just because something is the first of something, doesn't make it the best of something. If that were true we'd all still be walking around with mobile phones the size of house bricks and we'd be defecating over into in our back gardens. That does not detract from the fact that Romero's Night of the Living Dead is quite clearly a very important film, I'm just saying that its not the best film we've ever seen. Its not even the best zombie film we've ever seen. Its not even the best of Romero's zombie films we've ever seen. Tune in to this week's episode to boil your blood at how harshly we score another classic.
Episode 088 - Braindead (1992)
Braindead features a living, murderous pile of guts that tries to throttle the film's protagonist before it is eventually thrown into a blender. In one scene, a woman's sore bursts pus into a man's custard and then he eats it. Then her ear falls off and she eats that. Someone, somewhere, saw this and decided that the man that had directed this movie only 9 years prior, should be handed the reins to the $281,000,000 Lord of The Rings trilogy. Fair play I say. What is film making without a little risk? Join us this week as we poorly tackle Peter Jackson's Brain Dead!
Episode 087 - Cronos (1993)
Time. It stops for no man. It also doesn't stop for quite a few of the films on the first 100 Horrors of 100 Horrors and it leaves them looking dated and shite. Guillermo Del Toro's 1993 debut Cronos, is no exception. Join us as we break our own record for shortest episode ever on this week's 100 Horrors.
Episode 086 - Village of the Damned (1960)
We've met some pretty despicable villains throughout the previous 85 episodes of 100 Horrors. Mrs Vorhees invaded a summer camp and butchered people while they were on vacation. Mikey Myers invaded people's homes and murdered them while they celebrated Halloween. Freddy Krueger took it a step further and invaded people's dreams while they tried to sleep. Perhaps then, this is why the kids in Wolf Rilla's 1960 "classic" Village of the Damned did not seem to stand up to the test of truly frightening us as modern audiences. In one scene the antagonists realise that they are frightening an old shopkeeper, so they apologise and promise not to come back anymore. It just doesn't have that edge, you know? Anyway, tune in to this week's episode to hear some (as per usual) controversial scoring.
Episode 085 - Event Horizon (1997)
Not a single film directed by Paul W. S. Anderson has ever scored a "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Here at 100 Horrors we're not entirely sure what that means, but we can sure see why that would be true. Event Horizon blends occultism, science fiction and a topless Sam Neil in an attempt to make something truly disturbing. Do they manage it? You'll have to tune in to episode 85 of 100 Horrors to find out!
Episode 084 - Session 9 (2001)
Electroshock therapy. Extreme isolation. Full frontal lobotomies. Indefinite imprisonment. These are just some of the horrors that "patients" had to experience during their stay in a mental asylum. Throw into the mix the fact that the ceilings were absolutely jam-packed with asbestos and I would say that your average asylum is about as close to hell on earth as you can get. Brad Anderson's 2001 psychological horror Session 9 explores what might happen to a person forced to experience prolonged exposure to such a place, but is it any good? Let us know in the comments sections folks!!
Episode 083 - House on Haunted Hill (1959)
Jeff Bezos collated his wealth and used it to blast himself into space while people who work for his company continue to suffer poor working conditions and incredible levels of job dissatisfaction. Richard Branson collated his wealth and used it to quietly buy up vast swathes of the NHS pushing the British public ever closer to the reality of either having health insurance or dying from easily curable illnesses. The millionaire in William Castle's House on Haunted Hill spends his money to carry out an elaborate scheme that ultimately sees two people murdered, and yet he seems significantly less sinister than the two aforementioned people. Put together on a shoestring budget, House on Haunted Hill is a bona fide classic starring the incredible Vincent Price. Naturally one of us dislikes it. No prizes for guessing which one of us dislikes the old film with the questionable special effects...
Episode 082 - Trick 'R' Treat (2007)
A lot of the films that we've watched can barely get one narrative right, which is why its so nice to watch a film that takes on the daunting task of trying to tell 4 stories all at once. Directed by Michael Dougherty, Trick 'R' Treat was initially panned by the very people that funded it. Since then, it's gone on to become a bit of a cult classic. This is likely going to be our only straight to DVD film of the first 100 films, so you KNOW the scoring is about to get daft. Send your complaints to the usual places...
Episode 081 - Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
Space. There's loads of it. And there's stuff in it. In an infinite universe, everything eventually is true. If the universe is infinite then it means some of the stuff in space is the white stuff that falls to Earth from Jupiter and starts making copies of everyone like the stuff in Phillip Kaufman's 1978 remake of the 1950s classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It also means that out there somewhere there's a version of this film that isn't as boring as all Hell. Yeah. It's gonna be one of those episodes...
Episode 080 - You're Next (2011)
Home invasions. Scary things if you haven't been trained in the deadly arts by a father who was a survivalist in the Australian outback. Thankfully, the protagonist in Adam Wingard's 2011 smash hit You're Next was trained in the deadly arts by a father who was a survivalist in the Australian outback, so that's cool. Naturally, 2 of us love it and 1 of us hates it. Tune in to find out who's the odd one out this week.
Episode 079 - Rec (2007)
Imagine this. A new virus emerges. You get locked in your home and threatened with severe punishment if you leave. The government - the very ones who locked you in your home - offer absolutely no timeline for your release and do not seem to care about the horrors you face inside. Alright, so it’s not so difficult to imagine that sort of thing given the events of last few years, but I’ll tell you this. Spanish zombies would have made lockdown a LOT more interesting, one way or the other. This week we discuss Rec, a film which frequently tops internet lists of the scariest films you can ever watch, but is there any truth in that? Tune in to find out!
Episode 078 - The Blob (1988)
Most horror villains don’t have a shred of remorse for the people they kill. Some don’t have a pulse. The blob takes it up a notch with a villain that doesn’t even have a spine… not one of his own anyway. This week we discuss the spectacular 1988 remake of the campy 1958 original, and naturally one of us really doesn’t appreciate it for what it is. Any guesses who among us can’t see the charm? Tune in to find out!
Episode 077 - The People Under The Stairs (1991)
Although the title of this week's film could quite easily be used to describe a tenancy agreement in 2020's era London, in the 90's it carried with it a much more (or less, when you think about it) insidious tone. Both written and directed by Wes Craven, TPUTS toes the line between horror, comedy, political commentary and home alone rip off - but is it any good? Tune in this week to find out!
Episode 076 - The Fog (1980)
The further through this poster we go, the more I'm starting to suspect that John Carpenter himself curated the movies on it. This week we tackle his 1980 film The Fog, which was panned at by critics but which was a monster at the box office, making 20 times its initial budget. The film has since gone on to take on cult-classic status, but is it deserving of that status? Tune in this week to find out!
Episode 075 - Get Out (2017)
There was a HUGE amount of critical acclaim heaped onto Jordan Peele's horror debut 'Get Out' when it was first released in 2017. Naturally, we're late to the party, coming in to say everything that everybody else has already said only 5 years too late. To be fair though, we did manage to discuss issues with pooing again this week, so we are putting our own spin on it in a way. EPISODE 75! 3 quarters done!
Episode 074 - Misery (1990)
This week we discuss Misery. The 1990 one. Based on a Steven King book.
Episode 073 - Prince of Darkness (1987)
It is widely regarded that a Mr John Michael Osbourne (Ozzy to his friends) is the Prince of Darkness. This makes it all the more surprising that a Mr Vincent Damon Furnier (Alice Cooper to his friends) was cast as the gaunt, shuffling zombie in John Carpenter's 1987 film Prince of Darkness. The movie is about a vial containing the liquid essence of the son of Satan, and it deals with quantum physics, the nature of reality, the question of whether Jesus was an extra-terrestrial and finally what happens to your body if you drink the son of the devil. Spoiler. Turns out you melt. Not all the way, but most of the way.
Episode 072 - Christine (1983)
It is a sad (but true) fact that teenagers are 3 times more likely to crash their cars than people over the age of 20. It is however, entirely possible that these figures have been skewed by teens driving possessed cars, as Arnie Cunningham, the protagonist in John Carpenter's Christine does. This week we welcome Mr George Martin (not that one, or that one) into the studio to discuss an often overlooked gem of the horror genre.
Episode 071 - The Ring (2002)
Hollywood: The creative centre of the universe... until it runs out of ideas and looks to the East for already successful Japanese movies to remake. I'll be honest, I'm glad they did this. Gore Verbinski's 2002 remake of Ringu (The Ring) is one of the last few films on this poster that I absolutely love. Gorgeous cinematography, excellent narrative pacing and a scene where a horse gets churned up by a ship's propeller, there really is something for everyone here.
Episode 070 - Friday 13th (1980)
Which is the worse Friday? The one the kids in Sean S Cunningham 1980 genre cementing slasher flick have to endure while vacationing at Camp Crystal Lake, or the one that Rebecca Black subjected us all to that summer in 2011? We know which one we’d vote for, but as you know by now, our ability to rate anything is sketchy at best, so our answer is surely going to alienate the majority of the population! Anyway, it’s Friday!!!!
Episode 069 - Children of The Corn (1984)
Children: Murderous? Sometimes. Fanatical? Occasionally. Easy to batter? Always. Just why the two leads in this Stephen King adaptation don’t realise that children are the optimum size for a boot in the face is beyond us, but a lot of the kids in Fritz Kiersch’s 1984 Children of the Corn look like they’ve already taken a blow or two to the face anyway, so maybe that’s not the best way to correct bad behaviour in early years after all.
Episode 068 - The Last House on the Left (1972)
Rumour has it that a lot of the more brutal scenes in Last House on the Left have been lost to the ages, and I say 'Thank God'. This film is a filthy, sordid little turd on the shoe of cinema history, but for some reason people seem to love it. This week we got stuck in to Wes Craven's seminal rape-revenge picture The Last House on the Left to see if we could work out why... (SPOILERS: We couldn't).
BONUS EPISODE! Q: The Winged Serpent (1982) With Spoils of Horror
This week we buddied up with our ex-friends Spoils of Horror to do an episode swap. I say "ex-friends" because while we sent them the EXCELLENT movie 'The Greasy Strangler', they sent us the diabolical Q: The Winged Serpent. You can listen to their hilarious take on The Greasy Strangler by searching for Spoils of Horror on any podcast outlet, and you can hear us gripe about how much we disliked this monstrosity in the first ever bonus episode of 100 Horrors! Cheers all!
Episode 067 - American Psycho (2000)
Ah, masculinity. Beautiful. Fragile. Terrifying. American Psycho was written by a gay man and directed by a woman and is a fiercely satirical glimpse into what it's like to be a man in the modern(ish) world. The film is an absolute classic and offers a rare glimpse into the fabled female gaze, something which is all too rare within the horror genre. AND, it's also a fantastic opportunity to see Christian Bale's arse, so there's that too...
Episode 066 - From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
We've had the pleasure of exploring some incredible films over the last 60 something weeks. We got to explore Rosemary's Baby, a film that digs deep into society's treatment of women and the systematic delegitimizing of the state of motherhood. We watched The Hills Have Eyes, which while boring, did pose a series of interesting questions around morality and ethics in modern America. This week we watched From Dusk Till Dawn, a film about a load of vampires in a strip club. There's loads of naked women. There's loads of blood. There's absolutely zero message to be had here. This is pure entertainment. Mr Phil Saunders joins us to discuss why this is (quite rightly so) his favourite film of all time.
Episode 065 - Scream (1996)
We love a special guest. We love when we're related to that special guest. We love when that guest is frightened of horror films, and we especially love when they still find Wes Craven's 1996 Meta-Slasher actually scary! Ash Murray is on the show this week to discuss the only horror film she can watch "without shitting [her] pants"... her words, not ours...
Episode 064 - Let The Right One In (2008)
Life in a Swedish suburb looks grim enough as it is. I hate the cold. Perma-snow. Perma-snotty-nose. Perma-coats. Throw a vampire into that mix and you have Hell. An actual living Hell. But, is viewing this film as grim as being in it looked? Tune in to episode 064 to find out!
Episode 063 - Rosemary's Baby (1968)
Directed by Roman Polanski in 1968, this film ruined the marriage of it's leading lady, and if superstitious nutters are to be believed, it directly caused the murder of pregnant Sharon Tate only months after its release. Yeah, it's one of THOSE movies... Tune in to hear what we had to say on the matter!
Episode 062 - Hostel (2005)
Some films take on legendary status due to their incredible performances, some for their insightful narratives, some for the impact they make on the wider society, and some because they're just disgusting torture porn that leave a sick legacy of poor imitations in their wake. This week we discuss Eli Roth's 2005 film Hostel. We'll let you decide which of the aforementioned categories this one fits into...
Episode 061 - Annabelle (2014)
The term "modern classic" is thrown around all too often these days, and 2014's Annabelle is no exception. Directed by John Leonetti, Annabelle is a prequel (who doesn't love those, right?) to 2013's The Conjuring. Both films are based on the sordid lies of the Warren family, and so you can disregard everything about this being a true story. Honestly, look at the doll in this and then google "the real Annabelle doll" if you want to see just how far creative license has been stretched here. For a better time, watch Child's Play. Its the same story, its just done right...
Episode 060 - The Birds (1963)
Believe it or not, Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" is based on a true story. In 1961 the residents of Capitola in California were viscously attacked by flocks of gulls that had become infected with a brain eating parasite. It was by all accounts, a horrific attack... And yet, I feel that the savagery about to land in our inboxes is going to way overshadow the events in Capitola on that dark day in 1961...
Episode 059 - Gremlins (1984)
This week we welcome Mr Patrick Jordan back to discuss Joe Dante's Gremlins; a film which holds legendary status for those who grew up watching it. As you can tell, we did not grow up watching it. Please address all complaints to @100Horrors on twitter. The instagram inbox is getting considerably clogged...
Episode 58 - Bird Box
Fun Fact: In our first year of broadcast, over 2000 people started listening to an episode of 100 Horrors and then turned it off after just one minute! I guess we're not to everyone's taste, much like today's film - Bird Box (nice segue, I know...). Released straight to Netflix in 2018, Bird Box is a Susanne Bier directed relatively big budget genre bending horror film that you'll either love or hate... much like our podcast it would seem!
Episode 57 - Psycho (1960)
Yeah, we'd never heard of this one either. Apparently it's Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece... there's another name we'd not come across. Honestly, I wish this poster would start to throw a few classics our way for us to sink our teeth into...
Episode 056 - Dog Soldiers (2002)
Dogs are hard. Soldiers are hard. DOG SOLDIERS ARE PROPER HARD! Join us this week as we delve into the directorial debut of British directing powerhouse Neil Marshall.
Episode 055 - Carrie (1976)
In Stephen King's novel, Carrie is described as being "slightly unattractive", overweight with pimples on her neck, back and arse. Brian De Palma threw this description out of the window for the film adaptation and instead spent a week shooting nude scenes with Sissy Spacek and her 20-something friends in what is one of the most gratuitous opening scenes of any horror film ever. Surprisingly, the rest of the film just gets better from here! Find out why by listening to episode 55 of 100 Horrors!
Episode 054 - 28 Days Later
Picture this - A population gripped with fear and torn apart by violence. Streets overflowing with litter. The stench of rot is everywhere and those who are unlucky enough to survive have to all pile into single room apartments too cramped to even swing a cat... This is London... Now imagine how bad it would be in the middle of a (sort of) zombie apocalypse!! Seriously though, you don't have to imagine it, because in 2002 Danny Boyle made 28 Days Later, an ultra low-fi horror film that would go on to inspire the "fast zombie" movement. Tune in to episode 54 of 100 Horrors to hear what we thought of it!
100 Horrors Trailer
100 Horrors is a comedy podcast that seeks to rank the best one-hundred horror films of all time (as dictated by a poster that one of us owns). Every week we bicker over another film in an attempt to give it an overall Scare-Factor and secure its place in the 100 Horrors list. With features such as I don’t want to die, but at least I won’t die like that and What would you say at the victim’s funeral we take a light-hearted approach to horror cinema so that it can be enjoyed by even the most squeamish of listeners! Whether you’re the person who’s never seen a horror film in your life, or you’re the person who’s got a tattoo of Leatherface on your right butt-cheek, there’s something to be enjoyed in every episode of 100 Horrors!
Episode 053 - Silent Hill
People love movies. People love video games. Do people love video game movie adaptations? Of course they don't, they're terrible. Tune in to find out if Christophe Gans' 2006 adaptation of Silent Hill bucks this trend.
Episode 052 - The Babadook
If it's in a word, or its in a look, it's probably in Jenifer Kent's 2014 creature feature The Babadook! A massive horrid home invading being? Check! A subtext about the LGBTQ community? Check! People throwing up a load of black stuff? You'd better believe that's a check! Tune in to this week's 100 Horrors as we discuss the lot!
Episode 051 - Dead Snow
This week we welcome back our zombie expert, Mr Rick Baker to discuss 2009's Nazi Zombie horror Dead Snow! Directed by Tommy Wirkola, Dead Snow blends the scariest villains from history with the scariest villains from the horror world, but does this double dose of horror translate successfully to the screen? Tune in to this week's 100 Horrors to find out!
Episode 050 - Halloween
WOAH! WE'RE HALFWAY THERE, WO-AH LIVING ON A SCARE!! Seriously though, for the halfway mark of 100 Horrors we decided to dive right into a stone cold classic and explore John Carpenter's Halloween! We even had an impromptu visitor come along for this episode, who we instantly outraged with some pretty low scoring... you know where to send the hate mail...
