Vault of horror
01:27:40
About
Another year, and we kick off in majestic style with another Amicus Anthology - 1973’s “The Vault of Horror”. A film in which Terry-Thomas experiences separation anxiety on a whole new level; the Massey siblings take it in turns to murder each other; Karl Stromberg reaches the end of his rope; and the Fourth Doctor feeds rats with the power of Voodoo! Along the way we discuss “The Living and the Dead”, “Elliot”, “Dead of Night: The Exorcism”, “The Prestige” and the BBC’s 2019 3 part adaptation of “A Christmas Carol”. Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us. APOLOGIES FOR ANY SOUND QUALITY ISSUES -CURRENT QUARANTINE MEASURES MEANT WE HAD TO RECORD THIS EPISODE REMOTELY.

LeeGood evening, and welcome to Horror. I'm Lee.
ChrisI'm Chris.
AdamI'm Adam.
ClaireAnd I'm Claire.
LeeYay!
ChrisHello Claire.
LeeClaire has joined us despite me putting her horribly on the spot uh and last week's episode.
LeeUm it was just one of those it struck me as a really good idea.
LeeI thought, do you know what, if we're covering that, Claire would love it, but I should probably have been a bit more discrete, and not just shouted across the whole podcast.
LeeClaire, you did.
ClaireI've been watching most of them anyway, so.
LeeThat's what I figured, I thought these are these are your like your niche of I know you like something that's not too scary and something that you can lovingly rip the shit out of, and I thought.
ClaireAbsolutely, this is right up your alley, isn't it?
ClaireYeah, definitely. So obviously we'll get into it in a bit, but the um anthologies of are my bag, I'm learning that.
ChrisYeah, yeah, they they've grown on me, they are.
LeeI don't understand why there aren't more everything should be anthologies, they're just incredible.
ClaireYeah, definitely.
AdamIt's weird because you don't get it in many other genres, it's only really horror that seems to sort of go for it.
AdamI mean, something like Pulp Fiction is kind of an anthology movie.
LeeHmm.
AdamThat's the nearest thing that you get to a non-horror anthology.
ChrisThat's a fair point actually. Yeah.
ChrisI'm sure that probably was one of the first ones I saw, and that probably did make it quite unique at the time.
LeeHmm.
AdamYeah, definitely.
AdamOh, he's killing me, so.
LeeRight, so, uh, before we get into this evening, any of this evening's event, um, we have a bit of an announcement to make.
LeeUm, so it's good news and bad news, uh, bad news is we will not be doing Welcome to Horror every week and we will be going back to a fortnightly format.
LeeUm, but the good news is that we are doing a side project in that in between week, so we'll still be giving you something in your feed every week.
LeeUm, but it will not be horror.
LeeAs this was Adam's idea, um, and it's genius, and he will be running the show.
LeeWe, I will hand over to him to tell you all about it.
LeeAdam.
AdamRight, well, yes.
AdamSo hopefully, yeah, hopefully people will enjoy this.
AdamWhat we're doing is we're doing a, uh, little series called Moss Eisley Happy Hour.
AdamAnd, uh, yeah, as that name would probably immediately let people know, we're just going to do Star Wars.
LeeIt comes.
ChrisAnd how much scum and villany will there be?
AdamA ton and a half.
AdamIt should be brimming, brimming with scum and villainy.
AdamThat's what I'm.
ChrisIt'll be there.
