    Halloween Spooktacular 7 - Friday the 13th Part 7, New NIghtmare, Halloween H20

    Send us Fan Mail It's time for our Halloween Spooktacular! We're celebrating the season with three horror sequels that brought some of our favourite slashers back for another round of bloodshed. First up, Jason takes on a telekinetic teenager in Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood. Then Wes Craven gets meta with Wes Craven's New Nightmare, blurring the lines between fiction and reality. Finally, we're heading back to Haddonfield for Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, as Laurie Strode comes face to face with Michael Myers once again. Expect horror chat, behind-the-scenes trivia, plenty of opinions and the usual Bloody Good Screen nonsense as we dig into three very different slices of slasher history. But this episode is also a little bittersweet, as we say goodbye to Taz, who's joining us for his final episode. It's been a bloody good run, and we're sending him off the only way we know how: with horror films, laughs and a whole lot of love. So grab your pumpkin, settle in, and join us for one last spooky outing with Taz on Bloody Good Screen Movie Club!

    Bloody Good Screen: Movie Club - Sam Neill Special: Possession and Event Horizon

    Send us Fan Mail This week on Bloody Good Screen, we’re celebrating the life and career of the legendary Sam Neill with a very special double bill: Possession (1981) and Event Horizon (1997). Two very different films, two very different performances, and two occasions where Sam Neill finds himself having an absolutely f*****g terrible time. From the raw, disturbing madness of Possession to the cosmic nightmare of Event Horizon, we look back at two of Neill’s most memorable genre performances and discuss what made him such a brilliant and versatile actor. We talk body horror, psychological horror, Hell in space, collapsing relationships, giant squid-like nightmares, lost footage, WTF moments and, of course, the question we’ve been asking all night: Which Sam Neill character had the worst day? It’s also a particularly special episode for us, as we head towards Taz’s final appearance with the Screen team. There’s plenty of the usual chaos, laughs and questionable opinions, but also a chance to celebrate the time we’ve had together behind the microphones. So pour yourself a drink, settle in, and join us as we say goodbye to one incredible actor while enjoying two absolutely f*****g bonkers films. Sam Neill. Two films. One very bad week.

    Bloody Good Screen: Movie Club - Good Boy (not that one....or that one) & A Quiet Place: Day One

    Send us Fan Mail We're back! And this time we're taking on not one, but TWO slices of horror goodness. First up, we're heading over to Disney+ for the surprisingly creepy short Good Boy. It's proof that sometimes you don't need a massive budget, a two-hour runtime or 47 different explosions to make something properly unsettling. Sometimes all you need is a dog… and for things to go horribly, horribly wrong. Then it's time to head back to the beginning with A Quiet Place: Day One, as we find out what happened when those lovely little sound-sensitive bastards first decided to turn up in New York and ruin everyone's day. But does Day One manage to capture the tension of the original? Is Good Boy actually any good? And why are we still making terrible decisions when there's clearly something outside trying to kill us? Join Mark and the gang as we get stuck into both films, have a good old chat, and inevitably wander off on a few tangents along the way. So grab your headphones, keep the noise down and whatever you do… DON'T MAKE A SOUND!

    Year of the Wheel Horror! Bloody Good Screen Podcast - In a Violent Nature & Good Boy (Shudder)

    Send us Fan Mail The wheel has spoken… and the Year of the Wheel begins in brutal, barking style. This month on Bloody Good Screen Movie Club, the hosts dive into two very different but equally unsettling horror picks chosen entirely at random. Our Main, ranty, event is the slow-burn slasher experiment In a Violent Nature, a film that flips the genre perspective by following the killer through the wilderness in chilling, methodical fashion. But first it’s time for something a little more… loyal. Good Boy, the haunted-house horror told from the perspective of a dog, currently streaming on Shudder. Expect grumpiness, strong opinions, horror deep dives, and the usual chaos as the team kick off a brand-new podcast year with fate firmly in control. Will the wheel bless us with hidden gems… or curse us with nightmares? There’s only one way to find out.
