Slither

0:00LeeGood evening and welcome to Horror. I'm Lee.

0:00ChrisI'm Chris.

0:00AdamAnd I'm Adam.

0:00LeeYes, that's right. Uh, very pleased to see that Adam has made it after last week's, uh, encounter, shall we say? Uh, but we'll leave it there for anyone who hasn't yet listened to the episode.

0:00ChrisYeah, no, he's, he's, turns out it was just night terrors, huh.

0:00AdamWho'd have thunk it?

0:00LeeSo, everybody has come back after last week's episode. Thanks very much for bearing with us.

0:00LeeUm, yeah, we, uh, we were totally hit by the curse. It wasn't bad enough my internet kept cutting out, and then our recording equipment, which is online, which isn't even linked to my internet, kept dropping out, and then just to make it even worse, after a few days when I went to edit the episode, um, parts of it had come out like, uh, like a bad telephone line, so it was a lot of.

0:01LeeSo we lost the first like two minutes of Chris saying how much he enjoyed The Omen, which we didn't get back.

0:01LeeUh, and we missed all of the curse.

0:01LeeBut, um, yeah, I say the only alternative was to record the whole episode a few days later, but the problem with that is you then get the déjà vu effect, where you're like, I've definitely said this, did I say it an hour ago or did I say it last weekend? So we decided not to go down that route and, uh, just give you what you got really, so.

0:01LeeHopefully, you haven't all abandoned us because of one bad episode, but we'll see.

0:01ChrisSo we're not doing bad.

0:01AdamOverall.

0:01LeeThis is episode 104, uh, and we've had two failures so far. So, I think we're doing all right really, track record-wise.

0:02ChrisI, I would, I would like to point out at this point that self-applause is no applause.

0:02ChrisSo let's crack on.

0:03LeeUh, and actually, while we are quoting other people, I would like to point out, uh, yeah, I was thinking this earlier, this week, as in the great words of Blackadder, we are not at home to Mr. Cock-up.

0:03LeeSo let's hope it all goes all right.

0:03ChrisHopefully I won't have to prepare the spare room.

0:03LeeOh.

0:03LeeUm, so, Chris, in the last seven days, uh, have you managed to watch anything?

0:03ChrisYes, I have.

0:03ChrisI, I watched something that turned out to be, I would say, an excellent choice based on the main event.

0:03ChrisAnd it was, but you know, you might disagree, it was Colour Out of Space.

0:03AdamOoh.

0:03LeeOh, nice. The, the Nicolas Cage one?

0:03ChrisYes, and I, I didn't realise that was Nicolas Cage. I mean, it's obvious, you know, that he's on the cover. But I just, I, I think I'd been distracted by the nice colour purple and blue. And yeah, and then when I realised it was Nicholas Cage, it was like, okay, this is probably going to get a bit crazy then based on, like, what else he's done. Um, so yeah, no, it's, uh, it was kind of funny as well because my son's playing a game called Terraria, which is a 2D kind of like a pixel art type game. And it's all based around Cthulhu. Um, yeah, so he's sort of been learning some of the lore of Cthulhu because he likes to read their wikis.

0:04ChrisAnd so when he, he saw, just randomly, he saw that I was looking at for films to watch. And he's like, oh, can I watch that? And I said, it's an 18. He's like, yeah, but look, look at the colours, it's great, and it's HP Lovecraft, who, who wrote, you know, Call of Cthulhu. And, yeah.

0:04ChrisThen obviously I don't know that much about HP Lovecraft, aside from what both of you have said. Um,

0:04AdamNever Google his cat's name. F***'s sake.

0:04ChrisBut yeah, so, um, it turned out I definitely shouldn't have let him watch it, and I luckily didn't.

0:04LeeExcellent.

0:04AdamI'm glad that was the end of that story because I was going to say this is just, yeah. I didn't want you to, I didn't want to hear how he'd reacted to the, to the alpacalypse.

0:04ChrisYes, yeah, I've, I've got a new found appreciation of alpacas.
