VHiStory - A VHS Podcast

Oh it's beginning to look a lot like creepy masks, modern day paganism and alcoholic doctors... that's right it's time for the BEST Halloween film... Season of the Witch! We're talking Tom Atkins, Tommy Lee Wallace, fan negativity and what could have been horror anthologies.This week I'm joined by the imperious Andrew Grevas, author of 2025's Horror in Haddonfield to talk about the film that nearly broke a franchise. Andrew's insight is both fascinating and insightful so I was delighted he joined me

IT'S OCTOBER!!At last the full scary season commences! This week I'm taking you back to 1994 and The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror V.I adore The Simpsons in general but there's a special place in my heart for the Treehouse of Horror episodes. Endlessly quotable, gateway horror and genuinely hilarious. It's a must every year to watch at least a few episodes! I'm also talking Halloween events, some physical media watches and my full Halloween watchlist for 2026, playing along with the #31daysofhorror

It's another horror episode (I'll fight anyone who disagrees!) and this week I'm talking about Mr Toad and Ichabod Crane. If you've not seen this underrated banger, make sure to check it out...then come straight back to listen!Expect Mary Blair appreciation & love, hero worship of J. Thadeus Toad Esq, genuine fear and terror of the Headless Horseman, Disney's obsession with themselves and a tease of the Halloween schedule.Make sure you like, subscribe, review and get in touch! I'd love to hear

FINALLY we're moving into a horror film this week!What better place to start than Crystal Lake and... not Jason Voorhees?!Joining me this week is the fantastic Janine from Graeae Horror. We talk everything from horror origins, shitting couples, Roy the paramedic, questionable safeguarding and Shared Sight Film Festival!I have to apologise for this first video podcast having the first 20 minutes without video because...I'm a luddite and didn't set it up properly.Make sure to check out

If you know... you know.This is a BAD film. As punishment for past misdeeds, I roped my younger brother in as my first guest, subjecting him to one of the most disastrous direct to video films of all time. I'd covered this as the first film on the VHiStory blog so it would have been wrong not to revisit this disasterpiece.It's freely available on YouTube to watch but... you're not actually thinking of watching it?...right?

What better way to start VHiStory than jumping back to 1997 and Joel Schumacher's critically savaged Batman & Robin.I'm talking high camp with Posion Ivy, horrendous "disguises", awful dialogue but... there's something there with this one!Hope you enjoy and remember, rewind, rewatch and buy physical!

A brief introduction to VHiStory: a new weekly podcast looking at horror favourites, blockbuster classics, forgotten masterpieces and everything in between!
