About this listen

 Live From Manchester Morgue is a fortnightly, audio horror film podcast often described as "talk radio for horror fans." Hosted by two lifelong genre lovers (film scholar Ken Talbot and former horror host Gary Hames), each episode dives into two films that make a great double feature. Packed with trivia, laughs, special guests and all delivered with signature British flair, it's a must-listen for horror film fans. Past guests include Julia Max (The Surrender), Jed Shepherd (Host), Richard Drew (Ghostwatch) and Pierre Tsigaridis (Traumatika, Two Witches). Available on all major platforms!Gary Hames and Ken Talbot Art

    episode 18: Christmas With the Devil! The Exorcist (1973) and The Omen (1976)
    Dec 23 2025

    We nearly called this episode 'The Xmasist' but thought better of it.

    For our last show of 2025, we welcome special guest, author Matt Rogerson to help us navigate the vagaries of The Vactican's response to the deluge of Pazuzu-infused films from the 70s and beyond and we round out our coverage of the unofficial 'Unholy Child' trilogy we started with Rosemary's Baby a little while ago.


    We also talk our favourite Christmas horror films, Rob Reiner, What Have You Watched, take some listener comments and revisit regular feature, How Many Cats are In it?


    Wishing you all the very best for the festive season and we'll be back in a couple of weeks to kick off 2026 with some great new episodes.


    Merry Xmas(ist)!!!

    episode 16: Martyrs (2008), Inside (2007) and the New French Extremity
    Nov 20 2025

    Welcome back to the Morgue where this time, we get Extremely French and talk about Pascal Laugier's seminal horror Martyrs and wince-inducing pregnancy home invasion nightmare, Inside.


    As usual we recommend you watch the films before you listen to the show but honestly, these films are going to take you to places you might not want to go... we think they're great, though!
