Teaming up with Kurt Russell once more, Carpenter weaved a tale that would be considered a classic of its time, but how will The Surgeons feel once they've thawed and dissected the movie in question.

This dystopian view of a troubled America, where crime rate has risen to 400% is the setting of our sixth instalment of the John Carpenter Early Years discussions on Surgeons of Horror. It would mark a massive turning point in Carpenter’s career where he would stride onto iconic movies such as The Thing, They Live, and Big Trouble in Little China. But what will the surgeons make of this latest entry today?

John Carpenter's follow up to Halloween would come in the guise of The Fog. Whilst it didn’t come close to success that Halloween would generate, it did generate enough of a following to push Carpenter’s career along and propel him further as a bankable director.

Time to reflect on the resurrection of Michael Myers from last year's movie hit, Halloween.

Our next podcast in the Halloween franchise discussions combines both Halloween H20: 20 Years Later and Halloween: Resurrection. So, what do the Surgeons make of the these instalments to the franchise?  Find out in our latest episode.

The Surgeons team put three movies under the knife in this podcast as we continue our Halloween franchise discussions: Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, and Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers. The reason for combining these three movies from the Halloween franchise together is due to the shift in focus for the movies with one character now pinning them together - Jamie Lloyd

Let’s get the elephant out of the room straight away shall we? Yes this is a Halloween film, and no, it doesn’t have Michael Myers in it. Some of you not familiar with the journey that the Halloween franchise took, may be scratching your heads and wonder how that can possibly be. The Surgeons team take a look at the third instalment of the franchise and dissect this much debated entry into the canon.

Just three years after the original hit our screens, Michael Myers would return to Haddonfield, transporting him from Horror icon to legendary status. Along with it, the Halloween franchise was born. Listen to the Surgeons as they dissect this second instalment.

We are halfway through the John Carpenter: Early Years Sessions and finally at a point to talk about this much-heralded movie, Halloween, but where does one begin?  Four films into his career and John Carpenter hits one out of the park and creates the slasher horror genre in the process. Looking back, it’s hard to see the world of horror movies without this as part of its canon. Hopefully the following podcast will be of worthy listening, we certainly had fun discussing it. We hope that you do too.

Our third entry into the John Carpenter Early Years discussions is little known TV movie, Someone’s Watching Me. The fact that this movie has fallen by the wayside in Carpenter’s canon of work is know real surprise, but for enthusiasts, this is definitely worth a visit. Check out what the Surgeons thought.

Linney Quigley forever cemented her place as the "Queen of the B's" when she starred as Trash in Return of the Living Dead. Throughout the 80's and 90's she would star in numerous B-Movie horrors that were a signature of the video rental boom. The Surgeons caught up with Linnea Quigley to discuss her career and upcoming feature Bonehill Road.

JOHN CARPENTER'S SOPHOMORE feature and realistically his first in the ‘professional’ circuit (as his debut, Dark Star, was a University project that received success beyond his wildest dreams) would catapult the film auteur into one of the best successes in the film industry with countless movies resonating with a wide audience. The Surgeons of Horror team continue to dissect his early movies with this next feature, Assault on Precinct 13.

After dedicating our last podcast season to the early works of the late great Wes Craven, we now switch our attention to another horror film auteur in John Carpenter. Much like in our last season our method is to look back at his early work and to dissect these movies with great analysis and with a bit a friendly banter along the way. The first subject to ho under the knife is Carpenter’s first feature, Dark Star, a university / pet project in which he would team up with Dan O’Bannon (Alien) to write, produce, and direct a movie that would gain significant attention from like-minded students and wind up as a classic among sci-fi fans.

Towards the end of 2016, one of the Surgeons team had the opportunity to chat with writer, director Eduardo Sanchez about his work on The Blair Witch Project and beyond.

Back in 1998, a little known horror film based on the novels by Koji Suzuki would ignite a new wave for for the genre known today as J-horror after its Japanese influence. That film was called Ringu and gave birth to a modern icon in Sadako, which has been repeated ever since (with the woman in white and long black hair) but arguably has never had the same impact on its audience. The Surgeons of Horror team now dissect this franchise in our latest podcast.

With the power of the full moon, it’s time to bask in it’s cool glow in honour of all things lycanthropy with The Howling, based on a Gary Brandner novel of the same name and directed by Joe Dante who would spore a career out of creature features would initially turn heads with Piranha, a self-admitted Jaws rip-off.

Award winning writer, director has turned her attention to a new project, Devil Woman, a smart horror film that takes the viewer directly into the coal-face of human conflict over our relationship with the environment.

Deadly Blessing is one of those movies that appear to have fallen completely off the radar. Craven himself has stated that whenever he mentioned this being one of his movies, he was met with blank stares.

The Surgeons team continue their dissection of Wes Craven's early films with this made for tv venture starring Linda Blair. 

For his sophomore outing, Craven would explore similar ground to The Last House On The Left. This time, The Hills Have Eyes would see a whole family being besieged upon by a family of mutants in the remote mid-west of the United States.
