    Horror Hangout Podcast Bonus Episode : Interview w/ Do You Want To Play? Director Nick Lyon (FrightFest 2026)

    The ouija board gets a digital upgrade! Ben Errington is joined by Do You Want To Play? director Nick Lyon to discuss the supernatural horror film which had its world premiere at FrightFest in London this past weekend. When American high school student Emily plays with an Ouija board at a party, she becomes the unwilling host for a sadistic killer’s soul who held Westlake in a grip of gruesome terror. Its cause is an Ouija app programmed by the charismatic Owen, a rich kid obsessed with the supernatural. Now Emily’s boyfriend Tommy must team up with Owen, his rival for her affections and ex-best friend - and a defrocked Jesuit priest turned occult expert - to perform a dangerous, ad-hoc exorcism before Emily is consumed by evil and the demonic infection spreads through the school. https://frightfest.co.uk/LondoN2026/ https://frightfest.co.uk/LondoN2026/do-you-want-to-play.html www.horrorhangout.co.uk Podcast - https://fanlink.tv/horrorhangout Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/horrorhangout Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/horrorhangoutpodcast X - https://x.com/horror_hangout_ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@horrorhangoutpodcast Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/horrorhangoutpodcast Threads - https://www.threads.com/@horrorhangoutpodcast IMDB - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt29623213/ Ben - https://www.instagram.com/ben_errington/ Nick - https://www.instagram.com/nicklyonfilms/ https://www.instagram.com/charliebanddoc/ Audio credit - Taj Easton http://tajeaston.com Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thehorrorhangout.

    Horror Hangout Podcast Bonus Episode : Interview w/ The Peril At Pincer Point Directors Jake Kuhn & Noah Stratton-Twine (FrightFest 2026)

    Jim Baitte is here to finish a movie... The island of Pincer Point is here to finish him! Andy Conduit-Turner is joined by The Peril At Pincer Point directors Jake Kuhn and Noah Stratton-Twine to discuss the surreal British comedy horror film which has its English premiere at FrightFest in London on Monday 31st August (tomorrow)! Jim Baitte is a layabout sound designer desperate to prove himself working on a new horror flick from the tyrannical B-movie director P.W. Griffin. Accused of lacking vision and creative courage, Jim is sent to the remote island where the film was shot to capture a sound powerful enough to elevate the film's finale. Once there, eerie local fables surface regarding a soul-sucking ghostly sea captain and his spectral crew. As Jim entangles himself further into the bizarre prophecy, recording the legend might just cost him more than his career. https://frightfest.co.uk/LondoN2026/ https://frightfest.co.uk/LondoN2026/the-peril-at-pincer-point.html www.horrorhangout.co.uk Podcast - https://fanlink.tv/horrorhangout Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/horrorhangout Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/horrorhangoutpodcast X - https://x.com/horror_hangout_ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@horrorhangoutpodcast Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/horrorhangoutpodcast Threads - https://www.threads.com/@horrorhangoutpodcast IMDB - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt29623213/ Andy - https://instagram.com/andyctwrites/ Jake - https://www.instagram.com/jakelakuhn/ Noah - http://instagram.com/nhoast/ Audio credit - Taj Easton http://tajeaston.com Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thehorrorhangout.

    Horror Hangout Podcast Bonus Episode : Interview w/ Bunny Rabbit Director James Branson (FrightFest 2026)

    The world is ending... You may as well eat. Andy Conduit-Turner is joined by Bunny Rabbit director James Branson to discuss the visceral post-apocalyptic film which has its UK premiere at FrightFest in London on Monday 31st August (tomorrow)! In the aftermath of a climate-collapsed 2030 Australia, young Bunny roams the ruins of the post-apocalyptic world she never got to grow up in. Raised by her deceased father on old books and B-movies, she now lives alone in the shack they once shared. Supplies are scarce and food is running out. There is nothing left to hunt… Except other people! https://frightfest.co.uk/LondoN2026/ https://frightfest.co.uk/LondoN2026/bunny-rabbit.html www.horrorhangout.co.uk Podcast - https://fanlink.tv/horrorhangout Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/horrorhangout Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/horrorhangoutpodcast X - https://x.com/horror_hangout_ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@horrorhangoutpodcast Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/horrorhangoutpodcast Threads - https://www.threads.com/@horrorhangoutpodcast IMDB - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt29623213/ Andy - https://instagram.com/andyctwrites/ James - https://www.instagram.com/misterjamesbranson/ Audio credit - Taj Easton http://tajeaston.com Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thehorrorhangout.

    The hits keep on killing! Ben Errington is joined by Bad Karaoke directors Chris Lightbody and Robert J. Steinmiller Jr. plus producer Spencer Yaras to discuss the spooky singalong killer karaoke comedy which has its world premiere at FrightFest in London on Sunday 30th August (tomorrow)! Emily, Noah and Hannah have long come to terms with the fact they’ll never make it as successful musicians and singers. Happy to make a living as a cover band, they take a wedding gig in California.

What they don't realize is that the karaoke machine is cursed, and they must find a way to battle the sinister device before it finishes them all off.

    Horror Hangout Podcast Bonus Episode : Interview w/ Infirmary Director Nicholas Pineda (FrightFest 2026)

    The fear is so thick that your blood runs cold! Ben Errington is joined by Infirmary director Nicholas Pineda to discuss the found-footage horror film which has its UK premiere at FrightFest in London on Sunday 30th August (tomorrow). On his first shift as a security guard at an abandoned Wilshire Hospital, Edward is plunged into a night of terror. The facility was once notorious for unorthodox experimental practices on its mentally ill inmates, and paired with Lester, a retiring guard whose behaviour feels odd, Edward finds the ambience instantly disturbing. As unexplained intruders and unseen forces close in, he must fight to escape the rundown psychiatric hospital before its dark past claims him forever. But when the CCTV security camera footage and his own bodycam footage are finally viewed, they reveal inexplicable incidents that continue to baffle investigators. https://frightfest.co.uk/LondoN2026/ https://frightfest.co.uk/LondoN2026/infirmary.html www.horrorhangout.co.uk Podcast - https://fanlink.tv/horrorhangout Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/horrorhangout Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/horrorhangoutpodcast X - https://x.com/horror_hangout_ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@horrorhangoutpodcast Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/horrorhangoutpodcast Threads - https://www.threads.com/@horrorhangoutpodcast IMDB - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt29623213/ Ben - https://www.instagram.com/ben_errington/ Nicholas - https://www.instagram.com/infirmaryfilm/ https://www.instagram.com/charliebanddoc/ Audio credit - Taj Easton http://tajeaston.com Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thehorrorhangout.
