A New Year of horror begins…

And we’re not even including the further Republican idiocies that will be foisted upon us. Turn your hearing aid off now.

Happy 2012 to all our various listeners, fans, evil-wishers & assorted halflings! We here at The Horror Movie Show sincerely hope that you all had a wonderful Xmas, etc. and are ready to face the coming year with verve and the sort of cockeyed optimism displayed by Billy Mumfries in that MS Elaine was supposed to read.

This, of course, is all beside the point: in this latest episode, Jerry & Mark are ready to “fill you in” on a newish television series out of the Excited States via the Flaming Pit of Hell. American Horror Story is not the only horror series on TV at the moment — haha, it is to laugh — but at least it doesn’t focus on teenagers and their need to suck. Blood, I mean. As well, your poor, put-upon hosts have been forced to watch Paranormal 3, arguably the worst sequel made to a movie so bad it doesn’t deserve a single sequel. It deserves only condemnation & scorn. Heap it on there, people.

Also reviewed: the lacklustre A Haunting in Salem and 11-11-11, an interestingly downplayed horror flick. That’s a nice change. Happy new year!

The start of a brand-new year

Hello and welcome back to all of Mr. Mark Elf‘s several followers. The Great Man has been busy of late; he has either been trying to escape the vicious flocks of violent lambs in an Alternate Universe or he’s been in bed recovering from some sort of self-induced hysterical hallucination. Either way, Mr. Elf wraps up his tale of terror in a Parallel Universe in this week’s column.

We’ve made some changes over the last few weeks here at hmpod.com. Among these changes is a fresh set of underwear for both Mr. Elf and his weirdly flatulent assistant Hoffnung. We are confident that this new linen will mean fewer complaints about webpages being smelly and disgusting. The happiest of new years to all our readers.
