The Podcast on Haunted Hill will contain spoilers and swearing.

I am the devil, and I am here to do the devil's work.

I saw this when I come.

And be one of us.

Hello and welcome to The Podcast on Haunted Hill, episode 174, my name is Gav.

My name is Dan.

We are 174, we know you wanted more.

Four to the floor, hardcore.

You know the score.

Yeah, anyway, me and Dan's rave podcast, 90s rave, is kicking off today.

We're starting with the prodigy, we're gonna talk about the prodigy.

Get your whistles out.

Get some hardcore going, some white gloves.

Take some ecstasy.

I was never into rave, actually.

I never went to a rave or a free party or any of that sort of stuff.

Did you?

I'm from Bristol.

I'm sure there's many a warehouse party.

We invented free parties in Bristol under the Suspension Bridge in Random Fields.

I've been to a few.

Obviously, as our listeners will know, I'm a hip hop head, much like you.

But I did dabble in rave, certainly between sort of 16 and 18 when I left school.

Because you couldn't go to a hip hop event really back then, but you could go to a rave.

And I think some of the rave music was alright back then as well.

Oh, I don't mind.

I don't mind to.

But we're not here to talk about rave, are we Gav?

No, not at all.

I used to go to the Sausage Fest hip hop.

Basically, there'd be a little hip hop event somewhere in a side room of a pub.

That's always where it was.

It was just full of men with one token woman.

And you just feel so sorry for that poor lady.

And it's just all men, Sausage Fest, because that's all hip hop was.

That was it.

Yeah.

Well, the last time I went to a hip hop gig with you was House Of Pain.

That was amazing.

And Danny Boy got the shits, so he didn't perform.

So it was just Everlast and DJ Lethal, which is fine.

I was happy with that because he did a lot of his solo stuff.

And talking of hip hop, just very quickly, Onyx were in Bristol last month.

Oh, yeah.

And KRS-One is in Bristol in the next month or so.

And The Wutane Clan, they're all coming to my city.

Yeah.

I actually saw Onyx.

Oh, Deadbolts that you see this weekend as well.

They're a comic festival.

I actually thought I'm going to listen to Onyx back the fuck up.

So I put the album on Spotify while I was driving along.

But no, I listened and I was like, next track, next track, the first, Slam, that's all right.

Slam is the best song on the album.

And when it comes out, you're like, it's not really, they're just.

I really like that album, and it's one of the few I kept because I'm going through my hip hop albums and been in anything that.

Yeah.

I don't.

It's all right.

There's a few, OK, but it's nothing.

It's a lot of N words and a lot of women hating.

Well, unfortunately, it's a day in the era we live in now.

We can't just go back and listen to those songs.

You're like, oh, because my kids have been in the car going, don't like the songs that you listen to, especially the like.

Yeah, I just imagine my kids picking up some CDs and going, Dad, what's what's this NWA?

Dad, what's this onyx back the fuck up?

NWA, NWA.

Oh, no, I was going to say the fuck the police stuff.

So absolutely fine.

I don't mind my kids hearing that shit.

There's a lot of other rapist stuff, but it is the other stuff.

Anyway, anyway, enough of that.

We're a horror podcast.

I hope everyone's safe in the world and everybody's dandy and happy and gay.

And if this is your if you're a regular listener, welcome back.

If you're new to the podcast, welcome friend.

Welcome friend.

And if you just pop along now and again, side side up down, just pop in the side entrance.

Um, yes, this episode is.

Groovy, baby.

It is groovy.

We don't do it.

It's not an Austin Powers special.

That would be good.

We're doing the Austin Powers trilogy.

What if Mike Myers, actually, we could see now with the AI, what if we could actually put Mike Myers in as Ash and Evil Dead movies?

What if we could put Mike Myers as Michael Myers?

No, no, no, I just want him doing groovy, baby.

That's the only line to it.

Yeah, we're not doing Austin Powers.

We are doing something we don't do very often, an actor special.

Yeah.

And as you'll know from groovy, it's the horror icon himself, Mr.

Big Old Chin, Mr.

Bruce Campbell, Bruce Lorne Campbell.

That's the full name.

Yeah, Bruce Campbell.

Bruce is an ambassador to B-movie horror.

He really is, isn't he?

It's really funny, though, because I watched him in Army Of Darkness.

He's quite a chiseled, handsome, traditionally handsome character.

And you can see how he could lead a movie, but I guess not enough to lead an A-movie, because he never did the big movie.

I was really disappointed when they did that.

Hi, my name is Bruce.

I was like, great.

This could be JVCD, where it's the actor playing themselves.

JVCD, J-C-V-D is John Claude Van Damme initials, obviously, but that movie really is him playing him.

That's why it's called that.

And my name is Bruce.

I thought this is the opportunity for Bruce Campbell to play in a really good movie playing himself.

This is perfect.

And it was just not very good.

And it was such a disappointment.

I really enjoyed it.

Really?

Oh, God.

It was just like...

It's been years since I watched it.

It was just almost like a parody of himself.

It was just him just doing that.

It's like, oh, I just wanted you to break that mold.

Well, we'll talk about Bruce in more depth.

We'll get in deep with Bruce later when we go through into his back catalogue.

We'll get deep into him then.

It's a new section, deep with Bruce.

But before we talk about Bruce Campbell, oh, I should also mention we picked two of his movies to watch and review.

We're going to be covering the classic and the only original Evil Dead movie we haven't covered in 11 years.

We're going to be covering Army Of Darkness from 1992.

Possibly his comic masterpiece, some might say.

Certainly the first sort of leading man film, probably his only leading man film really, where he's really sort of leading a big budget movie.

And I say big budget, it's not huge, but it's a budget.

It's quite epic, though, in scale, and it comes across as quite a big film.

Yeah, Harry Housen all the way through.

And we'll be also covering, oh, thank you very much, Bubba Holtep.

Yeah, Bubba Holtep, which is really interesting.

I think he fits the role really well.

I went to see that in the cinema and I was like, you telling me Bruce Campbell plays Elvis in a horror film?

I'm there.

It was years since I watched it.

Yeah, but and not just that, it's the concept as well.

Yeah.

It's brilliant.

It's such a great concept.

I watched it again this time, though.

I know we're not starting a review now, but watched it again this time.

I didn't feel it was as good as when I first watched it.

Certainly a very unique movie, though, and showcases Bruce's range.

Yeah.

And the fact that he just quite literally, unfortunately, throws himself or Sam Raimi, throws him into everything and anything that he does.

But we'll get into Bruce, like we said, but that's what we're covering.

Bubba Ho Tap, Army Of Darkness, aka The Evil Dead 3.

In the meantime, let's talk about what we've been watching, what we've been doing, what we haven't been doing.

What the fuck's going on, Gav?

I saw on Facebook, you know, because for a while I was feeding Hungry with Blu-rays.

Oh, yeah.

You might need to explain that to our listeners.

Sounds weird.

For a little while, I was just picking up, ridiculously, like, at a time, like 300 or so Blu-rays at a time in a box for, like, next to nothing, like next to no money at all, just randomly.

I'll go along and buy these.

And this woman's like, yes, my husband died here.

Take all these movies for 25 pound, like boxes and boxes and boxes of like HD, still books and just all this massive collection.

What the fuck?

You know, I felt so bad.

I gave some money to charity as well because I was just like, this is just, but it was a really posh house anyway.

She had loads of money.

It was a massive house.

I don't think, no, but I don't think she really give a shit.

But I feel bad for the guy's collection because I'm a collector myself.

But it goes to a good home.

Yeah, yeah, totally.

Yeah.

I've, you know, I've absorbed quite a few of them.

And yeah, so I did that for a little while.

And then of some reason, some guy was the ones I didn't want.

Some guy in from Hungary would be buying the movies off me in bulk, Blu-rays in bulk, and then take them, drive them over the border to Hungary and stuff to distribute.

And we did it a couple of times.

So I was distributing Hungary of Blu-rays.

It's really fucking weird.

Anyway, the other day, some guy in Windsor is just like where the castle is.

He actually worked at Hammer Studios and stuff like that.

He's actually a delivery driver for films.

He was selling a shit load of movies.

So I went on to get them.

Bit weird though, when I turned up, he's like, there you go.

I was like, that's the box.

And there's a few films in there.

What's?

Oh, yeah, some were sold.

What do you mean some have sold?

That's a bit like, that's really random.

I was going to buy a big load of films off you, and you've just sold some.

Yeah, I don't think your description is right.

I don't know.

It's a bit confusing.

So I was like, right.

And I was like, no, I don't really want them.

So there's a hang on.

And just upstairs just kept bringing me downloads and loads of movies and put them in like the puppet master box set all the films randomly.

I don't really want it.

So I'll probably flog it.

Anyway, I got a load of films.

A lot of them are rape revenge films.

Don't know why.

It's a bit weird.

But that's Windsor.

Seems to be the case.

Not all of them though.

I'm not just going to talk about that.

But I'm going to talk about the films.

So I took Sarah just bags and bags of DVDs.

I was like, choose your films you want to watch this weekend.

So we started the day off early, I think, with The Tower Of Evil.

Do you know The Tower Of Evil?

I've heard of it.

It's a British movie.

It's got a dude on it.

You know the dude from The Confessions Of A Baby-Sitter?

No, Confessions Of A Plumber.

A driver, window cleaner, yeah, yeah, yeah.

He's in it, but his voice was dubbed over.

But this is about witchcraft, but on an island.

It's a British movie from the 70s.

Decent, worth watching, I'm going to say.

I feel like I'm doing a YouTube channel right now.

Weird connection there, because when I was younger, I recorded American Werewolf in London off of Channel 4.

And I just went to bed, pressed record.

I didn't set it up to stop.

And in the morning, when I was watching the movie, watched it, and then afterwards, it had recorded the next thing that was on.

Hang on, sorry to interrupt.

Wasn't that the worst, though, when you're like, oh cool, wonder what this is, and you start watching something, then the tape stops because it ran out.

That's the worst.

I had about an hour of Confessions Of A Window Cleaner.

So I've only ever seen the first hour of it.

So you just had like boobs, 70s boobs.

It's like a Cario movie, but with a little bit more boobs.

It's a little bit more raunchy.

It's more of a late night thing.

Anyway, after that, we did this, which was fucking brilliant.

Yeah, I love slugs.

You've seen slugs?

Yeah, I love slugs.

Loads of gore.

That was really good.

We did do that, Emanuel and The Last Cannibals.

Which I, off count, off hour, I told you that I really, for the first time ever, watched myself about three or four weeks ago.

Loads of sex, loads of cannibals.

It's just bonking, bonking, bonking.

Then there's just loads of gore.

What more do you want?

I know, I know.

Did also did, that one I told you I was watching as well, New York Ripper.

I started watching that again with the Donald Duck quacking away killer.

Did do this.

Isn't that Tom Savini?

Is he something to do with that?
