It all starts with small suspicious behaviours, a cold distant disoposition, and before you know it...garbage trucks are everywhere and the neighbours are carrying pods.
This week it's a look back at the various incarnations of the classic tale of paranoia, mass conformity and smothering conspiracy. ...

Did you ever hear the one about...
Welcome to a relaxed mix of topics this week as we deliver an unofficial From the Hip show. What started out as a discussion of horrific Urban Legends and the effect felt on screen of these time worn tales evolved into an eclectic array of subjects. It's summertime ...

Man...the most dangerous game.
So here's the deal - what began as a need to talk about the cult favorite Japanese film Battle Royale from 2000 (and it's 2003 sequel), evolved into a discussion of the history of humans hunting humans for sport movies. Beginning with the original Most Dangerous Game (1932) ...

God bless the Queen....or whomever needs to be credited for the long, rich history of genre films produced out of the UK. This week we celebrate British horror. In order to overcome the obvious challenge of attempting to condense the entire history of British horror fare into one discussion, we have ...
Vincent Price - Master of the Macabre
Manic with homicidal rage one moment, then sporting a devilish grin the next, many of Price's characters were tortured souls haunted by a lost love or ghastly beings from experiments gone awry. Audiences were convinced to offer empathy through his performances all ...

Thanks for joining us for another informal episode where Ted has recruited special guest host Doug to deliver this week's show. Due to severe scheduling conflicts we were faced with missing our first week but as a test of the theory that something is better than nothing we cover:

Welcome all to another From The Hip episode of Horroretc. This weeks subjects are quite varied but we think some good discussion was had. The show opens with a few emails of interest (Ted gets back up on his Escape From LA soapbox) before bringing in a surprise guest by phone. Some recent watches are ...
After a lengthy delay Dexter Season 3 has arrived. We promised (warned) you we would devote an episode to the third season of this fantastic show and the time has arrived. Okay, so here's the disclaimer: maybe not everyone has watched Dexter, let alone season 3 which is due to hit DVD very soon, but ...
Welcome to our second Horroretc Feature Commentary. As a wrap up to our recent series of episodes revisiting the film career of John Carpenter we sat down to record an audio commentary to his seminal work: 1982's The Thing.

The Man and His Movies: Part 3 of our John Carpenter retrospective.
In this chapter we discuss the recent ouput from the genre maestro and debate the merits of the 'second phase' theory of Carpenter's career. Certainly the past decade or so has not really produced the timeless classics of the past like ...

The John Carpenter retrospective rolls on.
This week we take a look at the continuing quality of Carpenter's output. With some of the greatest genre films we have behind us and some unsteady films to come, the period of 1983 through 1993 bridges the gap. Picking up from the masterwork of the Thing we ...

A director's spotlight that is long overdue...John Carpenter. A career spanning over 35 years with a list of titles as varied as they are impressive.

On the day I was born....the nurses all gathered 'round.
To gaze at the wild wonder....at the the joy they had found.
The one nurse spoke up....said leave this one alone.
I can tell by the way....he's Bad To The Bone.
