Devil Times Five horror podcast92: Indonesian Black MagicThis month the Devils have been watching movies full of cackling witches, flying heads, magic spells and, erm, mayoral elections. It's a quintet of quite bizarre Indonesian horror movies from 1980-82, including Mystics in Bali and Queen of Black Magic.
Along the way our discussion takes in surprising BBFC ratings, our Great Lord Willy Wasser, unnecessarily aggressive Carter USM fans, Yeti spaff, and the Mannequin Pis of Piss. And under the spotlight in this month's Horror Helpdesk segment: a question of continuity in the Alien franchise.

Devil Times Five horror podcast90: Roberta FindlayApologies to our listeners in the north of England; it's not your fault that Inside No.9, Cilla Black, the Worst Radio Times Letter of the Month and Clear Sound mode on Simon's TV made us so regionalist!
Let's blame a bad mood caused by having to watch the films of Roberta Findlay for this episode. We cover Blood Sisters, Lurkers, Prime Evil, The Oracle and Snuff, while in the Horror Helpdesk we examine how far we can stretch the definition of horror.2024-06-201h 10

Devil Times Five horror podcast81: Dario ArgentoIt's the end of an era for one Devil this month, and that's before we've even moved onto the main theme of Dario Argento. 12 of his movies are dissected in forensic detail by the internet's most serious horror podcasters. Or whatever it is we do. You know the drill, it's just a load of pissing about and being naughty chumps, still somehow possessed by the legend of the Suburban Sasquatch.
WARNING: This episode contains a teeny spoiler for Saw X.2023-09-301h 11
Devil Times Five horror podcastREWIND: Argento FlashbacksAhead of this month's episode on the Dario Argento movies we haven't covered before, here's a special bonus compilation of reviews of the dozen that we already have!2023-09-2357 min
Devil Times Five horror podcast80: BigfootsBehold: our shortest episode to date! Is it because the Bigfoot subgenre is so bad we didn't want to waste either our time or yours talking about this month's films for too long? Or is it because Cliff had a poorly tum-tum at time of recording? Bit of both, tbh.
Anyway, come and hang out with us and our new friend Titty Bingo for 56 minutes, during which time you'll also hear our takes on new horrors Talk to Me, The Dive, Evil Dead Rise, Wolf and the Sharksploitation documentary.
Warning: Contains major spoilers for Demonwarp (1988).2023-08-2956 min

Devil Times Five horror podcast77: Halloween Continues...Mugs! Mugs! Mugs! This month the Devils are covering the Halloween franchise, and to be honest they'd rather be talking about anything else.

Devil Times Five horror podcast76: Family-Friendly Gateway Drugs (with Amy Hoggart)Self-confessed scaredy-cat Amy Hoggart joins the Devils to look at the tamer end of horror, with a trawl through some of the family-friendly films that got us and our listeners into the genre in the first place.
Along the way, we ask: Does the 3D movie Yer Spaghetti actually exist? Flying Tiger - is it shit or not? Can Bryony Star Trekkify the podcast? And what's the German word for blowjob?
