Screams From The Syndicate

Published: Oct. 15, 2012, 10:41 a.m.

Halloween is just around the corner and the Countdown To Abertoir continues, so we've pulled together some of our writing team to chat about our favourite horror movies. \xa0Your host is Dion from the Scrolls\xa0podcast, joined by regular cohort Phil Ambler. \xa0Joining them are GS film reviewer Phil Hobden, GS tv reviewer Dee (aka Faint Dreams) and special guests Conor Boyle and Nia Edwards-Behi.

\n
\nIt's a massive genre with examples to suit all tastes, so we've tackled the subject from several different angles. \xa0You'll get our first movie memories, great examples of phsychology vs special effects, the most beloved rubbish, how\xa0humour works in horror, the best remakes and adaptations and, finally, our all-time personal favourites.\n
\nThere's a lot of laughter, a little friction and one or two shocks along the way, but we all had a great time recording it. \xa0So much so that we over-ran by a good couple of hours. \xa0Herding cats - that's all I'm saying... \xa0The cut you've got here keeps things relatively focused on the topic at hand. \xa0If you enjoy this you'll be please to know that most of the rest of the material will be appearing as a clip-show podcast called 'After The Slash' on theFilmsploitation\xa0feed, soon.\n
\nDion utterly weasled out of declaring his own favourite horror movie and best-bad movie during recording. \xa0It was worth it just to drive Mr Ambler nuts, but we wouldn't want to bug any listeners. \xa0Best film - Ring. \xa0Best-Bad film - Warlock. \xa0(Shhhhhhhh, he still doesn't know.)\n\nKeep Screaming.\n
\nTime for the links:\n
\nFor those interested in these things, the music that tops and tails the show is written & performed by the fabulous Norwegian band,\xa0Katzenjammer. \xa0The song is called 'Hey Ho, On The Devil's Back' and it comes from their first album 'Le Pop.' \xa0Click here\xa0to watch an hour long concert for free on YouTube. \xa0Fancy snagging their albums? \xa0Both 'Le Pop' and 'A Kiss Before You Go' are available at Amazon, among other retailers.\n
