Same Log embarks on Spooktober 2026 with a look at Robert Wise's 1963 masterpiece The Haunting, the first and best adaptation of Shirley Jackson's classic novel The Haunting of Hill House. An unnerving, moving movie that influenced all subsequent supernatural cinema.

The neurotic, ill-assorted, misfit Same Log crew re-embark upon our tatty, workaday, grimdark 90s space ship, bringing all our personal demons with us, and voyage to the outer reaches of the solar system in search of the derelict hulk that is 1997's Event Horizon. Partly to honour the recently passe

I reconvene with George & Elliot for our belated Christmas / New Years celebration, a discussion of Roger Corman's masterpiece, 1964's The Masque of the Red Death, an adaptation of about four different Poe stories and Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal and Sade's 120 Days of Sodom. A gorgeous and spe

Big episode about a big movie, 1974's BBC television film masterpiece Penda's Fen, written by David Rudkin and directed by Alan Clarke. Have a good end of 2024 / start of 2025 everyone.

Spooktober 3: Folk Horror (or Folktober, if you insist) continues. Elliot Chapman, George Daniel Lea, and myself, dance and frolic in home-made costumes to keep our appointment with The Wicker Man, Anthony Shaffer's and Robin Hardy's brilliant, bizarre, hilarious, terrifying, and ferociously materia

George Daniel Lea, Elliot Chapman, and I, discuss another film in our Folk Horror series, and oh yeah this is one of the big ones. We're tackling one third of the now canonical 1970s British 'Folk Horror Trilogy', Piers Haggard and Robert Wynne-Simmons' frail behemoth Blood on Satan's Claw (Tigon, 1

In a very special event-podcast prompted by the recent death of the brilliant Carl Weathers, I organised a 'big meet-up' episode in which I put together a crack team of my fellow battle-hardened macho warriors, all of whom I love in a very manly way - Elliot Chapman, George Daniel Lea, James Slater

The Same Log team's diversion for Spooktober finally ends, only 3 months and a week after Halloween. But we're going out with a bang, talking about Ari Aster's breakout 2018 masterpiece of modern Horror, Hereditary, in which the occult (hidden) and exploitative nature of the bourgeois nuclear family

The Same Log team - myself, Hellraiser bluray boxset star George Lea, and the consensus greatest stage Sherlock Holmes Elliot Chapman - return for New Years with a very seasonally appropriate look at John Carpenter's Halloween from 1978. The very definition of a film for which no introduction or exp

Myself, George, and Elliot continue our Halloween-season tour through the Horror movies that fascinate us with a conversation about 1992's unique and indefinable Candyman, based on a story by the legendary Clive Barker, directed by Bernard Rose, scored by Philip Glass, and starring Tony Todd and Vir

George, Elliot, and myself chat about John Carpenter's strange, unique, ominous, thoughtful, undervalued masterpiece Prince of Darkness from 1987. As usual, we get into lots of digressions which you'll hopefully find interesting. This is not a dream. (It's a podcast.)

We're putting Hannibal Digested onto hiatus for a month and doing another Halloween season of four movies through October. Segueing back via Michael Mann's Manhunter from 1986, the first movie to feature Hannibal. We all have complex thoughts about this movie, which makes for an interesting discussi
