  • Slash the time away with this gem of a podcast

    I initially found the podcast as a fan of Ohmms - but since then I’ve been hooked.

    Not all years are ‘stella’ for horror, but the gems are always found.

    The podcast is hosted from a place of love and passion for the genre and it shows through each episode

  • A treasure trove for horror film freaks!

    Paul is a fun, dynamic, and conversational host who manages to balance his memories and emotional connections to horror films with that of his guests, while also throwing in interesting facts and trivia, which makes for a great listen - and a different one compared to most more fact-scrolling and pretentious films podcasts. He also isn’t afraid to take on tough subject matter and he examines all kinds of takes on some of the most controversial horror films. I particularly enjoy his interviews wi... more

  • Blood and death made cosy

    This is a great show. Relaxed, informative, genial & funny.

    The host seems like a genuinely lovely guy. Awful taste in music…but passion is infectious, so it’s tolerable. And as I said…seems like lovely guy!

    Big recommend.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Theatre of Blood (1973) w/ Paradise Lost
Q: What someone being force fed their dogs?
I mean, I guess, I guess you can see far worse things on the internet, very far easier, you know what I mean than staying up late at your grandma's.
Theatre of Blood (1973) w/ Paradise Lost
Q: So I've got to mention the new record. This comes out the day that Ascension comes out. Considering the length of career you have, do you get the same sort of excitement as a record comes out?
No, definitely still excited. We certainly, yeah, totally get it.
Theatre of Blood (1973) w/ Paradise Lost
Q: Really intriguing with you because you do talk about it a lot in interviews and things. But yeah, where did it begin for you?
I started watching horror in the 1970s because on a Saturday evening, my parents would dump me at my grandma's house.
Theatre of Blood (1973) w/ Paradise Lost
Q: So, album 17, Paradise Lost. This is going to be my favourite question. So, you must have thought about it. Like, can you think of yourself like an album 25? Is it something that goes through your head?
We're kind of basing it on, as long as we're enjoying doing it and people want to hear it and we're not, and we've got our health, then we'll continue to do it.
Theatre of Blood (1973) w/ Paradise Lost
Q: So I was wondering, like, was there any reason behind that? Was there an extra bit of vim in your step?
I just think everyone doesn't drink as much as they used to do.
