Welcome to Horror is a fortnightly show in which Lee and Adam introduce horror novice Chris to all the delights the genre has to offer. So whether your a seasoned horror fan or someone with a passing interest looking for an entertaining new look on the topic why not join us on our journey. We have such sights to show you.....
We’re off to pretend to be American in Stevenage, with a trip down memory lane for 1986’s “Haunted Honeymoon”.
A film which deals sensitively with the plight of the hard of hearing; demonstrates the moose elevation method of dealing with snakes; and takes an unflinching look at the devastating repercussions when a family member is “hairy all over”.
Gene Wilder’s last film as director and, tragically, Gilda Radner’s last film, “Haunted Honeymoon” was a box office and critical flop. It did, however, get embraced by a generation who found it on video, as part of a steady diet of Gene Wilder’s work, usually with Mel Brooks and Richard Prior. Wilder’s homage to both the Golden Age of Radio and comic chillers like “The Old Dark House”, it boasts one hell of a cast of mostly British actors; a number of familiar faces all giving an expectedly great performance, with Bryan Pringle as the butler Pfister a real standout. Dom DeLuise (another frequent Brooks/Wilder collaborator) gives a, for him, restrained performance, which is both hilarious, but oddly, inessential within the plot. With an understanding of the tropes of the classic horror/mystery genre, and a loving attempt to follow the look and effects of a 1930s production; “Haunted Honeymoon” deserves a far greater appreciation, and genre fans who like a nice dose of silly should find a lot to love here.

Ep 257 The chronicles of Cyanide Jones
This episode we have an exclusive look at an exciting upcoming serial from Baron Sordor’s Theatre of the Doomed: “The Chronicles of Cyanide Jones”!
The Theatre of the Doomed podcast has been running since 2023, and has produced some original and creepy new audio stories. An anthology encompassing many facets of horror fiction, they are in the style of golden age radio, but with a modern sensibility and production level - and a serious dose of gore.
Part of the Blood Brains & Aliens umbrella of work by Aaron Harvie, who writes, producers, sound designs and directs Theatre of the Doomed, “The Chronicles of Cyanide Jones - The End of Everything We Know” is their upcoming neon-noir sci-fi conspiracy thriller featuring “Human Resources Manager” Cyanide Jones - who, for a price, will terminate your problem employees - permanently…
A massive shout out to Aaron for kindly allowing us to hear the first two episodes of this latest work, which we discuss here, along with previous productions.
We’re obviously going to stay as spoiler free as we can here, but highly recommend checking out the past episodes of Baron Sordor’s Theatre of the Doomed, available wherever you listen to us; check out everything at bloodbrainsandaliens.com and prepare for “The Chronicles of Cyanide Jones” which premieres on the 6th of October 2026.
