Listen "279: Carry on Halloween Streaming"
Episode Synopsis
Hello and welcome to our spooky season. This year we have four shows for you.
First up we have a short Carry On Streaming Halloween special. Short because we have one major TV streaming recommendation for you. It is It: Welcome To Derry. Yes, Pennywise is back!
For the 8 part series we travel back in time to 1962 where Pennywise (once again played by the excellent Bill Skarsgard) is up to his old tricks of terrorising the town of Derry. This TV show, the first of three planned series, also includes the character of Dick Halloran who later became the chef in that other classic King tale The Shining. Don’t worry this isn’t a case of cramming in as many Stephen King references as they can into one show, Dick Halloran was actually in the original IT novel, in a very scary flashback story.
Dec has high hopes for this one, and Jeff cannot wait to see it in all it’s horror glory. As for Graham, well, I’m afraid his horror leanings stop at something called Kpop Demon Hunters. No idea what that is, but I suspect it’s not going to be a sort of modern day Exorcist reboot.
For those that want more horror for their Halloween, we do discuss some old favourites like Midnight Mass and some up to the minute movies like Clown In A Cornfield and Black Phone 2.
Something for everyone there (even Graham).
Enjoy this seasonal special and we will see you tomorrow for the next in our Halloween offering.
Bye for now.
