Tea For Terror

#55: THE WARRIORS WITH JOHN HARRISON

To celebrate the release of John Harrison’s incredible new book, CREATURES OF THE SCREEN, we take a look at one of the best examples of KISSPLOITATION – Walter Hill’s THE WARRIORS (1979). Together we veer off into KISS, Alice Cooper and Twisted Sister, and decide which of the film’s street gangs is the best, and why it’s definitely not The Hi-Hats. You have been warned.

#54: THE THING (1982) WITH JAMES ROSE

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and James Rose find themselves stranded at a frozen research station wondering who the hell they are, and if they are about to turn into a disgusting spider-head creature. Together they explore Carpenter's THE THING, touching upon masculinity, monsters and messed up effects. You have been warned. 

#53: WHITE OF THE EYE (1987) WITH TIM DRY

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and guest Tim Dry (Xtro, Return of the Jedi) plunge the hunting dagger deep into the heart of small town America and examine the entrails of Donald Cammell's esoteric and distinctly British take on the US slasher. Bleak, strange and thought provoking, White of the Eye (1987) is an overlooked 80s gem. You have been warned. 

#52: Santa Sangre (1989) with Barbie Wilde

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and extra special guest, the brilliant Barbie Wilde, delve deep into the strange world of Alejandro Jodorowsky, investigating his surreal Psycho-induced nightmare – Santa Sangre (1989). You have been warned.

#51: The Baby (1973) with Darrell Buxton

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and guest Darrell Buxton find themselves locked in the nursery of mad matriarch Ruth Roman, in Ted Post’s uncomfortably weird tale of adult babies and abuse The Baby (1973). But is this simply a piece of early 70s exploitation, or is there something else going on in the playroom? You have been warned.

#50: SCREAM AND SCREAM AGAIN (1970) With GRAHAM DUFF

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and extra special guest Graham Duff (writer, creator and star of cult TV show IDEAL) explore the murky world of spare-part surgery, semi-vampires and fascist states. SCREAM AND SCREAM AGAIN (1970), a (sort of) Amicus production, peels back the skin and offers up some unrestrained 70s horror in a way that could only have sprung from that exact era. Starring Vincent Price and also featuring Hammer stalwarts Cushing and Lee, it’s a film that cruelly and brilliantly taps into our basest fears. You have been warned.

Tea For Terror #49: Lady in a Cage (1964) with Darrell Buxton

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and guest Darrell Buxton, find themselves trapped in an elevator at the mercy lowlifes, thieves and murderers, and the complete horror show, we sometimes called America. 

Tea For Terror #48: Nosferatu (2024) with James Whittington

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and NYX TV rep James Whittington, get their teeth stuck into Robert Egger’s new interpretation of Nosferatu (2024). On the heels of the earlier Werner Herzog outing and of course the German expressionist 1922 classic, Eggers certainly has much to prove. But fear not, this latest incarnation is smart, disturbing and has plenty to say about the world we live in today. You have been warned.
