Welcome to Live From Manchester Morgue, the ultimate horror movie podcast for true genre fanatics.
Broadcasting from Manchester UK, each episode sees hosts Gary and Ken resurrect two terrifying films to create the perfect cinematic double bill.
From iconic slasher franchises and indie folk horror to obscure giallo gems and found footage nightmares, we break down the plots, the gore, and the scares... with a few laughs along the way.
Whether you are looking for fresh horror film reviews or deep dives into cult classics, step inside the morgue for a regular dose of cinema terror.
Welcome Morguers - here's Ken talking to the creative minds behind brand new spider horror Crawlers, Angel Gomez Hernandez and Jayson Rothwell in a bit of an echoey room at this year's Grimmfest.
Sink your teeth into gothic horror as Ken and Gary delve into Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992) and Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow (1999) in an episode packed with blood, shadows, cinematic style and Hammer Horror influences.
From Coppola’s lavish, operatic take on the legendary vampire to Burton’s darkly whimsical reimagining of the Headless Horseman, the hosts explore what makes these two gothic horror classics so enduring. Expect discussion of atmospheric filmmaking, practical effects, macabre imagery and the unmistakable legacy of Hammer Horror that helped shape the genre’s love of gothic castles, lurid bloodshed and larger-than-life monsters.
But it wouldn’t be a Ken and Gary episode without a few detours. The pair riff on all things horror, share their thoughts on the latest Resident Evil film, and discover that they don’t quite see eye to eye on Capcom’s latest trip into survival horror territory.
Whether you’re a fan of classic gothic cinema, 1990s horror movies, Tim Burton’s distinctive visual style, Coppola’s vampire mythology or the enduring influence of Hammer Horror, this episode is your invitation to step into the darkness.

🧛 Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992) — Francis Ford Coppola’s blood-soaked gothic vision.
