This week we bring you the Fairy Tale special, it's not the ones you were brought up on as kids, trust us when we say this as there are some really weird versions out there of the stories you were read when you were little. The Brothers Grimm of course are heralded as the ones who brought most of the fairy tales to life, but of course they basically traveled around and reworked stories that were already out there, and it's the same with Disney, as they have reworked almost all of the fairy tales into their collections over the years. So sit back and relax and just so you know, these tales are not going to help you sleep, but it's going to be fun!!

This week we dive headlong into the 90s horror world, when once again everything that was old was new again, new directors were making their names and old ones were coming back to take what they created and make it relevant again. None more than Wes Craven with Scream and New Nightmare, 2 films that showed Craven still had what it took to make the audience stand up and take notice. So join us as we venture into the world of horror once again!!

So many interesting things happened with horror in the 80s, starting from the platform that the 70s gave us, it was time for the teen horror films to take the lead, where sex was frowned upon and virginity was your savior. So join us in this trip in time as we celebrate what the horror of a period the 80s truly were!!

To celebrate the Blu-ray release of Jurassic Park Steven decided we would talk all things Dinosaur, so we quested back to a place and a land long before humans roamed the earth, well not the humans we are today and look at what life was life. Of course that does not stop movies such as Jurassic Park bring the dinosaurs into our time and causing havoc on a grand scale. So make sure you join us as we will attempt to extract the DNA, inject it into some random fertilised egg and see what grows out of it, lets hope it ain't another dodo bird..

We take a step back to a time when horror movies were beginning to hit the screens again, this time with new people, with a new vision of what horror could be. Yes it's the 70s of horror, when names such as Wes Craven, Dario Argento, David Cronenberg, Brian De Palma and John Carpenter came to the forefront of the horror industry with some fantastic films that are still part of pop culture, when Pamela Voorhees went on a riot and helped push her son Jason into the annals of time, when sex was what got teens killed, when life was made something we should be terrified of. We will spend the time delving through the trash to find you the gems we all know exist and the crap we can't ever forget!

This week we are all about the men and women who are trained to kill the important people or even the everyday people like me and you. Yes we are all about assassins or as they are more commonly know hitmen/women. Those killers who move without being seen and pull off the most amazing kills you have ever seen and then seep back into the darkness to wait for their next pay day. We will be traveling though the tirade of movies to find the ones that are worthy of mentioning and the few that are not worthy and mention them anyway.
