Show Notes

THIS EPISODE CONTAINS ONLY LIGHT SPOILERS

In this episode, Val invites you to step into the TIME VORTEX as we travel back to the sleazy, swinging world of seedy London in the early 1970's, full of permissive young people and disapproving old folk.

Val takes you into a 1970's flea-pit cinema where we talk through the "Terror Films" of Pete Walker. He was a British director who wanted his movies to inspire TERROR through their reality. No vampires or ghosts for him. His films feature insane old people, torturing, murdering and even EATING the young. No really.

In this episode we discuss The Flesh and Blood Show (1972), Frightmare (1974), House of Mortal Sin (1976), Schizo (1976), The Comeback (1977) and House of the Long Shadows (1983).

So prepare yourselves for a fun romp through the seamier side of British horror cinema. Find out about the controversies, the scandals and Val's unrequited love for saucy British actresses!
