Horrors from the Vault – Confession

Horrifying Hunter, Devilish Dan and Appalling Ash open Confession (season 7, episode 11, aired July 5, 1996). Three headless bodies turn up in London, and Eddie Izzard plays a horror screenwriter whose research habits make him the prime suspect, opposite Ciarán Hinds as England's top homicide detective. The hosts split on whether the episode tips its hand too early. They also cover Halloween physical media picks, the 1952 comic behind the story and an unexpectedly long detour into Thunderpants. Final score: 3.5, 3.5 and 4 severed thumbs.

Horrors from the Vault – About Face

Horrifying Hunter, Devilish Dan and Appalling Ash reach About Face (season 7, episode 10, aired June 28, 1996). In it, a hypocritical reverend's long-lost daughter turns up on his doorstep, claiming to be one of twins. Imelda Staunton, better known as Dolores Umbridge, plays his wife, which sets off plenty of Harry Potter talk. The hosts also dig into the comic source, the Crypt Keeper's turn as a blues guitarist and some truly unfortunate makeup. Final score: 1.5, 1 and 1.5 severed thumbs.
