EPISODE 61 - British Horror Comedy




Horroretc Podcast show

Summary: This weeks topic of British Horror Comedy represents the common thread joining the films we wanted to talk about. Recently, horror fans have been offered a new brand of horror comedy coming out of the UK which carries its own unique flavour that we have to say has really worked for us. Tonight we specifically talk about Shaun of the Dead, Botched, Severance and The Cottage as examples of this horror film niche. Reflecting on the discussion we had, the question was raised of how many spoilers were given. It's our contention that the main plot elements of all the films were not spoiled and regardless of the many quotable lines each film offers, the whole is so much more than the sum of their parts. The show was recorded on location at a local pub so be prepared for the sound quality to be a little different this week, we wanted to capture a feel to bring all of you into the conversation. We also announce an exciting new contest just in time for the holiday season so we hope many of you participate. Finally, to round things out there are thoughts on Hellboy 2, Jack Ketchum's The Lost, and some audio feedback. Thanks to everyone for listening.
