Let's Make a Horror Movie

Episode 13: Goodbye Tomorrow

Jon barrels into LmaHmPod’s woodsy-cabin this week with our first firm foray into off-world oddities, Goodbye Tomorrow. An upbeat number about a sort of apocalypse. Sort of. It is a pitch for a horror movie after all. Act 1 sees, amongst others, some chunky feedback from JDubz, including some ‘far-seeing’ with feedback on today’s as yet unheard pitch! Act 2 as always rattles through the things we enjoyed that we stare at with our eyes, and there’s a snifter of an Act 4 given that Jon already pre-named his pitch. Tsk. Oh and Jon's new name is '3DK'.

Act 1 – 4:20m   – Listener updates to ‘Down The Mountain’ &, weirdly, ‘Goodbye Tomorrow’
Act 2 – 21:22m – This week’s horrorishy cultural highlights
Act 3 – 25:55m – Horror Pitch: Goodbye Tomorrow

Episode 12: Down The Mountain

A somewhat recovered Dave takes centre stage in Act 3 for this episode’s Horror Movie pitch ‘Down The Mountain’. You know when stuff happens on a mountain, it’s infrequently pleasant. In Act 1 we’re treated to a listener’s ‘choose your own feedback’ feedback on the prior LMAHMian Gordian Knot  and Act 2 skates around things wot goes in ears and eyes. Also, probably 4 acts from here on fyi.. Lastly, Jons a bit quiet in the mix. The sound engineer is in pieces…

Act 1 – 4:24m   – Listener updates to ‘The Education of Ellis’
Act 2 – 17:00m – This week’s horrorishy cultural highlights
Act 3 – 23:27m – Horror Pitch: Down The Mountain
Act 4 – 55:28m – Pitch Post-mortem, Title Brainstorm & Osama Bin Laden’s eyes

Episode 11: The Education of Ellis [Halloween Special #2]

It’s a late showing for our Halloween Special second leg, arriving on the very eve itself.. Spooky! (Also illness.) Jon delivers a veritable feast of deceased 'younglings' in his quest to pitch a Horror Movie that ghoulishly delivers on the “true spirit of Halloween”. Act 1 kicks off LMAHMPod’s first inter-listener spat, whilst in Act 2 Dave & Jon take a brief wander through ITV’s latest Horror TV show, Halloween 3, Little Monsters and Creepshow. Act 3 is the pitch itself, and this week because we’re feeling whimsical, we’ve gone and got ourselves and Act 4 too.. ‘Appy ‘Alloweeen Everyone!

Episode 10: The Last Bear [Halloween Special #1]

It’s October and the first of two Halloween Specials – apt for our 10^th episode milestone! It’s also a Dave week, and in Act 3 he delivers his pitch ‘The Last Bear’, a modern tale of all hallows horror. In Act 1 we cover off feedback to Jon’s pitch ‘Hand of Anubis’ from Ep 9, and in Act 2 we take a turn about the grounds of the current cultural landscape inc. Molly Gloss, '3 From Hell', 'Crawl', 'Codename: Blank' podcast and Ed Gein's domestic upholstery. All heavily infused with silly, having previously been distilled in nonsense.  Also, most of the Beatles make an appearance… somehow or other.

Act 1 – 03:59m – Listener updates to ‘Hand of Anubis’
Act 2 – 11:30m – This week’s horrorish highlights
Act 3 – 19:05m – Halloween Horror Pitch: The Last Bear

Episode 9: Hand of Anubis

Jon sallied into Episode 9 with the confidence of a man who knows he’s got a cracking horror movie pitch in his pocket. Being an ‘odds’ week its KJyon’s turn and he doesn’t disappoint with his delirious descent into the demented ‘Hand of Anubis’. JDubz pitches his thoughts on Ep 8’s ‘Spoils of War’ back to us in Act 1 (as well as a wee tune he made) and Act 2 touches on Tigers Are Not Afraid with an update on Jon’s ‘Kingian’ condition. Plus all the usual morbidly glib nonsense.

Act 2 – 15:22m - This week’s horrorish highlights inc. Tigers Are Not Afraid
Act 3 – 20:11m - Horror Pitch: Hand of Anubis

Episode 8: Spoils Of War

It’s a Dave week. He’s had a drink, a bit tired, prone to a rant and more than a little bit sweary, however in Act 3 delivers ‘Spoils of War’, a horror movie pitch of [potentially] epic proportions, set in Asia Minor. Jon answers some feedback on Ep.7’s ‘Empty Skin’ pitch and accuses Stephen King of ‘borrowing’ his ideas, plus a quick note on Korean movie The Wrath as well as all the usual nonsense...  Oh and we have an intro. For now at least.

Act 2  -  17:24m - Fortnightly Horror Highlights inc. Jeff Vandermeer & Ambergris Trilogy + The Wrath movie

Episode 7: Empty Skin

It's a Jon/John/Jhoyn pitch this week and it's a banger. His longest yet at 2 whole sides of A4! In this episode we cover off listener input & questions for 'The Haymakers Daughter', get some FrightFest movie updates from Jon and 2 bizarre rants from Dave. One on the 'live action' Lady and The Tramp' and the other on Mothman - the latter so unhinged we've given it a rare 4th Act status. With Act 3 bringing JJJ's pitch 'Empty Skin' - a creature feature!

Act 2 - 18:10m - This week's horror highlights (Frightfest inc. Why Don't You Just Die, Spiral, Daniel Isn't Real)

Episode 6: The Haymaker's Daughter

Continuing Dave & Jon's Horror Movie Pitch adventure, Dave regains the reins for this week's Horror effrontery. In this episode Act 1 sets The Triceratops on the right track with an embarrassment of listener improvements, someone continues picking holes in Ep4's demonic island antics and in Act 2 we discover Jon has been 'building up' to IT 2 in a sort of metaphysical sense whilst Dave has been putting things in his ears. Act 3 is another small mental breakdown. This time in t'English countryside in a not so distant future… or future past.. or future future.. or something..

Act 1: 3:31 mins    - Triceratops Feedback & welcome
Act 2: 16:13 mins  - This week's horror highlights inc. Arrow Video Podcast & Bloodstock
Act 3: 27:58 mins  - Horror Pitch: The Haymaker's Daughter
Act 4: 63:55 mins  - Pitch post-mortem & title brainstorm

Episode 5: Triceratops

It’s a Jon/John pitch-week. The Sawney Bean origin story movie-pitch from Ep 4 gets deliciously updated in Act 1, adding a bit more sauce to ‘the Beans’. Dave loses his marbles over 2003’s ‘TipToes’ whilst Jon advocates for more cannibalism in print. Also, Act 3 sees Jon pitch his dystopian nightmare movie – Triceratops.

Act 1 – 8:14 mins  - A Long Way From God feedback
Act 2 - 17:10 mins - TipToes, El Gigante, The Terror, nonsense
Act 3 - 30:18 mins - Horror Pitch: Triceratops

After a nightmarish mishap with the original Ep4 audio, Jon & Dave persevered. In this episode we recap on The Devil & Satan, mooch over a few movie gems (with a frank and bizarre reflection on the 'Cats' trailer) and get stuck into another Dave-pitch, this time about 'The Nuckelavee'. Its a Scottish one.
