Vault of horror
01:27:40
About
Another year, and we kick off in majestic style with another Amicus Anthology - 1973’s “The Vault of Horror”. A film in which Terry-Thomas experiences separation anxiety on a whole new level; the Massey siblings take it in turns to murder each other; Karl Stromberg reaches the end of his rope; and the Fourth Doctor feeds rats with the power of Voodoo! Along the way we discuss “The Living and the Dead”, “Elliot”, “Dead of Night: The Exorcism”, “The Prestige” and the BBC’s 2019 3 part adaptation of “A Christmas Carol”. Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us. APOLOGIES FOR ANY SOUND QUALITY ISSUES -CURRENT QUARANTINE MEASURES MEANT WE HAD TO RECORD THIS EPISODE REMOTELY.

Lee Good evening, and welcome to Horror. I'm Lee.
Chris I'm Chris.
Adam I'm Adam.
Claire And I'm Claire.
Lee Yay!
Chris Hello Claire.
Lee Claire has joined us despite me putting her horribly on the spot uh and last week's episode.
Lee Um it was just one of those it struck me as a really good idea.
Lee I thought, do you know what, if we're covering that, Claire would love it, but I should probably have been a bit more discrete, and not just shouted across the whole podcast.
Lee Claire, you did.
Claire I've been watching most of them anyway, so.
Lee That's what I figured, I thought these are these are your like your niche of I know you like something that's not too scary and something that you can lovingly rip the shit out of, and I thought.
Claire Absolutely, this is right up your alley, isn't it?
Claire Yeah, definitely. So obviously we'll get into it in a bit, but the um anthologies of are my bag, I'm learning that.
Chris Yeah, yeah, they they've grown on me, they are.
Lee I don't understand why there aren't more everything should be anthologies, they're just incredible.
Claire Yeah, definitely.
Adam It's weird because you don't get it in many other genres, it's only really horror that seems to sort of go for it.
Adam I mean, something like Pulp Fiction is kind of an anthology movie.
Lee Hmm.
Adam That's the nearest thing that you get to a non-horror anthology.
Chris That's a fair point actually. Yeah.
Chris I'm sure that probably was one of the first ones I saw, and that probably did make it quite unique at the time.
Lee Hmm.
Adam Yeah, definitely.
Adam Oh, he's killing me, so.
Lee Right, so, uh, before we get into this evening, any of this evening's event, um, we have a bit of an announcement to make.
Lee Um, so it's good news and bad news, uh, bad news is we will not be doing Welcome to Horror every week and we will be going back to a fortnightly format.
Lee Um, but the good news is that we are doing a side project in that in between week, so we'll still be giving you something in your feed every week.
Lee Um, but it will not be horror.
Lee As this was Adam's idea, um, and it's genius, and he will be running the show.
Lee We, I will hand over to him to tell you all about it.
Lee Adam.
Adam Right, well, yes.
Adam So hopefully, yeah, hopefully people will enjoy this.
Adam What we're doing is we're doing a, uh, little series called Moss Eisley Happy Hour.
Adam And, uh, yeah, as that name would probably immediately let people know, we're just going to do Star Wars.
Lee It comes.
Chris And how much scum and villany will there be?
Adam A ton and a half.
Adam It should be brimming, brimming with scum and villainy.
Adam That's what I'm.
Chris It'll be there.
