When we're feeling Jekyll, we talk about movies based on Robert Louis Stephenson's famous horror novel, as well as Coralie Fargeat's phenomenon The Substance, which is Jekyll & Hyde-adjacent. When we're feeling Hyde, we discuss the You Bet! revival, slime and gunge, folk horror based on The Great British Bake Off, and ask what Mickey Mouse is serving. But which of our personalities will be victorious this month? Listen to find out! And don't forget to email the Horror Helpdesk: dx5podcast@gm...

This month the Devils have been watching movies full of cackling witches, flying heads, magic spells and, erm, mayoral elections. It's a quintet of quite bizarre Indonesian horror movies from 1980-82, including Mystics in Bali and Queen of Black Magic. Along the way our discussion takes in surprising BBFC ratings, our Great Lord Willy Wasser, unnecessarily aggressive Carter USM fans, Yeti spaff, and the Mannequin Pis of Piss. And under the spotlight in this month's Horror Helpdesk segment: a que...

Apologies to our listeners in the north of England; it's not your fault that Inside No.9, Cilla Black, the Worst Radio Times Letter of the Month and Clear Sound mode on Simon's TV made us so regionalist! Let's blame a bad mood caused by having to watch the films of Roberta Findlay for this episode. We cover Blood Sisters, Lurkers, Prime Evil, The Oracle and Snuff, while in the Horror Helpdesk we examine how far we can stretch the definition of horror.

This month, the Devils and guest comedian Dan Fardell come up with a new scoring system for movie reviews, ask whether a steel drum could ever be a P.I.M.P., and do the best impression of the Insidious franchise that you'll ever hear. Somewhere among all that, we consider horror movies about rock musicians, including Studio 666, Phantom of the Paradise, Rocktober Blood, Hard Rock Zombies and Green Room. Plus reviews of new releases Thanksgiving, Saltburn and even Anatomy of a Fall.

The award-nominated horror podcast is here for Halloween, with an episode about movies featuring cults like the ones in Midsommar, Baskin, The Sacrament and The Invitation. You'll find out who Dr Jiggles is, why Martyrs isn't quite extreme enough for us, and how angry Ti West's early films make us. Our guest Devil this month is Katharyn Henson @ewgirlyounasty!

It's the end of an era for one Devil this month, and that's before we've even moved onto the main theme of Dario Argento. 12 of his movies are dissected in forensic detail by the internet's most serious horror podcasters. Or whatever it is we do. You know the drill, it's just a load of pissing about and being naughty chumps, still somehow possessed by the legend of the Suburban Sasquatch. WARNING: This episode contains a teeny spoiler for Saw X.

Ahead of this month's episode on the Dario Argento movies we haven't covered before, here's a special bonus compilation of reviews of the dozen that we already have!

Behold: our shortest episode to date! Is it because the Bigfoot subgenre is so bad we didn't want to waste either our time or yours talking about this month's films for too long? Or is it because Cliff had a poorly tum-tum at time of recording? Bit of both, tbh. Anyway, come and hang out with us and our new friend Titty Bingo for 56 minutes, during which time you'll also hear our takes on new horrors Talk to Me, The Dive, Evil Dead Rise, Wolf and the Sharksploitation documentary. Warning: Contai...

Take your longpig meat with a side of 1980s yogurts, have a bar fight to the tune of Wallace & Gromit's theme, discover the Muppets' gender rules, and pay tribute to Sir Elton John, as the Devils (featuring the Ancient Slumber's Chris Ward) discuss the cannibal horror cycle from Italy and beyond.

This month, our theme is psychopathic old(-ish) biddies, but the Devils also discuss punching actors in the face, mixing vodka with Squirt, the most tragic way to die, the most niche joke anybody has ever said, Andrew Lloyd Webber, alternative alternative titles for Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker, and incredible amounts of sperm.

Mugs! Mugs! Mugs! This month the Devils are covering the Halloween franchise, and to be honest they'd rather be talking about anything else. So look forward to a detailed run-down of the plot of Soccer Dog: The Movie (1999) among other pointless tangents.

Self-confessed scaredy-cat Amy Hoggart joins the Devils to look at the tamer end of horror, with a trawl through some of the family-friendly films that got us and our listeners into the genre in the first place. Along the way, we ask: Does the 3D movie Yer Spaghetti actually exist? Flying Tiger - is it shit or not? Can Bryony Star Trekkify the podcast? And what's the German word for blowjob? Don't forget to check out Amy's brilliant podcast FeMANism!

Say what you see! It's episode 75 of Devil Times Five, and this time we're talking about the wave of American slashers that tried to emulate the success of Scream. Our features are Valentine and Cherry Falls, but there's also quite a lot about Brandon Cronenberg's new movie Infinity Pool, Mia Goth's other current showcase, Pearl, and the mad dinosaur nonsense that is 65. And remember: only the very, very best movie trivia is good enough for us!

Comedian & actor Isy Suttie (Peep Show, Damned, The 50 Funniest Moments of 2010) joins the Devils to talk about films in which men wreak violent revenge.

Bryony's gone full goblin mode, but other than that, our Gen Z episode is brought to you by the letter B. Because when we're not talking about Gen Z horror movies, we're going on about balloons, bleps, Bough (Frank), Bill (The), bangs (gang), bums and beakers. Films up for discussion include Assassination Nation, Bodies Bodies Bodies, Cam, It Follows and So Vam, as well as new releases The Menu, Enys Men and Hellraiser.

There's a real end-of-term vibe to the Devils' last show of 2022, with lots of chat about space billionaires (and what they're really up to), making Kubrick movies filthy, and things you might find in a pub toilet. Oh, and sometimes we remember to talk about the films we've been watching, which concern severed hands coming back to homicidal life. Our guest Devil is Simon Plotkin from Brighton-based improv group Do the Thing, there's another round of Scary Noises, and we deliver our verdict on th...

There's a half-arsed attempt to write deceased TV magician Paul Daniels into a horror movie, zen poetry from Emily, and more Scary Noises!

Horror podcaster Zobo with a Shotgun is the special guest Devil this month, joining Bryony, Emily, Luke & Cliff for a pox-ridden trawl through movies about disease and decay.

So put something on the end of it and take a dive into the unpleasantness with us!
