We start by talking about some of the stuff involving horror recently. Liam talks about the newer Ty West film X. Justin talks about reading the comics A Nice House On The Lake and Something Is Killing The Children and Alma Katsu’s speculative work on the Donner Party The Hunger.

We start with Slaughter High. We give a summary of the film and talk about how it is a very British version of American teenhood. We briefly touch upon the tragedy of the lead actor in the film who died by suicide shortly before it was released and perceived the film as his life’s work.

We discuss the absolute lack of surprise or scariness in the film and how it has little to no suspense. We briefly talk about the weird British celebration of April Fool’s Day.
