Episode 49: Paperhouse (1988) & Candyman (1992) Artwork

The Horror Double Bill

Welcome to The Horror Double Bill, the podcast where each week we pair two movies to create something far greater than the sum of their parts.

Expect discussions on shared themes, directors. writers and atmosphere, as we explore what the films say about the time they were made and our fears in the present; including social history, folklore, censorship, and a love of horror in all its forms.

New episodes every Sunday.
