This week on Hell of Horror, we try to talk about the 2006 horror-comedy Severance — but the film isn’t the only thing getting severed…

What starts as a normal episode (well, as normal as it gets with us) quickly spirals into chaos when Sean shows up missing a chunk of his finger thanks to a workplace mishap that feels like something straight out of the film. Cue cockney-rhyming-slang quizzes, painkiller-powered rambling, and far too many finger jokes.

But that’s not all.

Between recordings, Ashley wanders into what appears to be a goth drag night in the live music venue our studio is attached to — and somehow that still isn’t the strangest thing that happens in the episode.

We do eventually get around to talking about Severance (2006): corporate team-building gone wrong, questionable leadership decisions, and the undeniable fact that Danny Dyer might be the patron saint of British horror chaos.

It’s an episode full of gore, giggles, hospital stories, and absolute nonsense — basically, a perfect Hell of Horror night.

In this week’s episode of Hell of Horror, Sean comes armed with three mysterious film pitches… but leaves Ashley to make the ultimate choice. Of course, Ashley picks Grimcutty (2022) — the internet-meme-turned-monster movie where paranoid parents bring a digital nightmare to life.

What follows?

Chaos. Regret. And Sean questioning every decision that led him to this moment.

Ashley, surprisingly, has a good time. Sean? He finds the whole thing absolutely unbearable, and he’s not shy about saying so. Expect laughs, mild suffering, and a deep dive into one of 2022’s strangest horror concepts.

It’s our Halloween Special, and what starts out as a totally normal episode somehow turns into our biggest one yet.

Sean brings Livescream (2018) to the table — a found-footage horror about a streamer who probably should’ve just logged off. Ashley’s already rolling his eyes before the intro’s done… but shockingly, both of us end up loving it. Like, “begging for a sequel” levels of loving it.

And wouldn’t you know it — there is a sequel. Livescreamers (2023). So of course, we make it a full-on double feature, because clearly we have no self-control.

But here’s where things get wild: between recordings, Sean somehow gets in touch with the writer and director Michelle Iannantuono… and she actually agrees to come on the show! Yep, this episode has two movies and an interview with the person who made them.

So grab your candy, turn off your lights, and join us for a Halloween special that started with a “meh” and ended with a “holy sh*t, this is awesome.”

This week’s episode is something a little different. We’re taking a break from cursed DVDs and cinematic nightmares to introduce our brand-new side podcast: Fatal Therapy, now available on the free tier of our Patreon.

In Fatal Therapy, Sean and Ashley step out of the horror movie madness to talk honestly (and hilariously) about themselves — from their own battles with mental health to the strange comfort found in laughing through the chaos. This episode is a preview of the full show, which you can listen to in full over on Patreon.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when the Wheel of Death stops spinning and the mics stay on… this is it.

Disciples,

This week, the ritual takes a new form: The Wheel of Death — a cursed relic loaded with at least twenty Nicolas Cage films, each one a threat to sanity and structure. Ashley must spin… and accept his fate.

And fate, dear listeners, has a dark sense of humour.

The wheel clatters… it slows… and lands on The Wicker Man (2006) — the infamous remake that gave the world “NOT THE BEES!” and a performance from Cage that could only be described as holy madness.

Sean watches with glee. Ash suffers. The cult feasts.

Disciples of the Doom Disc,

This week, Sean resurrects a cursed relic from a bygone era… a stack of DVDs — ancient technology from a time before streaming, before algorithms, before hope.

Ash is forced to blindly draw from the pile like a cinematic tarot reading.
The disc he pulls?

💿 SLENDER MAN (2018) — a film as forgotten as the format it arrived on.

What follows is a journey into mid-2010s creepypasta horror, corporate cash-ins, and the long, slender arms of disappointment. Sean watches with glee. Ash watches with regret. And you, the faithful, get front row seats to the ritual.

Fate works in mysterious (and destructive) ways. Sean’s laptop screen met an untimely, shattering end during editing… and so, this week, you the faithful are rewarded with a rare gift: a full, uncut episode — normally reserved only for our Patreon cultists.

And what a sermon it is. Sean drags Ash into the glitter-soaked, corset-clad, midnight-movie madness of The Rocky Horror Picture Show — a true all-time classic that Ash has never seen.

Chaos, corsets, and questionable impressions ensue.
This isn’t just a movie night… it’s a rite of passage.

Disciples,

This week the sermon was meant to be orderly. Sean came prepared. Notes were written. A plan was forged.

But the gods of technology had other ideas… and what followed can only be described as divine sabotage.

Stripped of order and thrown into chaos, Sean and Ash found themselves watching Verotika (2019) — Glenn Danzig’s notorious anthology of confusion, blood, and bafflement. A film so misbegotten it made our episode title inevitable.

Tech fails.
Shattered plans.
A cinematic fever dream that may haunt us forever.

Sometimes the best sermons are the ones that fall apart. Enter, if you dare.

Follow. Submit. Embrace the chaos.
