Satan’s Slave (1976), Prey (1977), and Terror (1978)
There are a lot of directors out there that might not have a huge filmography, or even be that well known to the general population of film fans, even in the horror genre. So, there is always room to discover them! In this episode, we take a look at three films by British independent director Norman J. Warren, who didn’t make a lot of films, but we feel the ones he did make, make him a worthy subject for us to discuss. Honestly, it might make sense to read a little about him before diving into the films, or at least, do it afterwards but I think he is a good example of knowing what he had to make what he did, for us, makes them a little more impressive. You’ll get blood, you’ll get nudity, and a lot more than you’d expect in these three very British tales of horror.
Films mentioned in this episode:
Batman (1989), Bloody New Year (1987), Curse of the Crimson Alter (1968), The Devil Rides Out (1968), Dr. Phibes Rises Again (1972), Dr. Terror’s House of Horror (1965), Flesh and Blood Show (1972), The Godsend (1980), Horror Hospital (1973), Horror Planet aka Inseminoid (1981), House by the Cemetery (1981), Night Creatures (1962), Prey (1977), Satan’s Slave (1976), Shiver of the Vampire (1971), Suspiria (1977), Thriller: A Cruel Picture (1973), Terror (1978), Tower of Evil (1972), Vampyres (1974)

Another great episode. As someone who was born and raised in the UK, I really like it when you cover classic British horror.
I like “Satan’s Slave” and “Terror,” but I haven’t seen “Prey” yet, although I fully intend to, so I really appreciated your spoiler warning during the discussion—I hit my pause button and skipped forward just in time!
I recently watched 1969’s “The House That Screamed,” which was excellent, but just before I watched it, I unfortunately happened to watch the bonus features on the Arrow Video release of a certain 80s slasher film, and one of the commentators mentioned that the ending was 100% identical to the final plot twist of “The House That Screamed”—ruining it for me!
I realize that if I’m going to listen to podcasts, watch documentary features, etc., then the occasional spoiler is unavoidable, but I really appreciate that you guys somehow manage to have in-depth discussions about movies without too many spoilers. Especially important when one of your main goals is to introduce people to new movies.
By the way, on the general theme of “people living under the same roof treating each other terribly” that you touched on in the podcast, I wonder if you guys are familiar with the very strange and darkly humorous British movie “Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny and Girly” from 1970? (Released in the US as just “Girly”). It’s so off the wall that I have no idea what you would think of it, but I watched it recently and I can’t really think of another film that is quite like it. Definitely one of the weirdest British horror movies I have ever seen!

Wow! That is one hell of a comment there and was very much appreciated by Damien, Aaron, and me, so THANK YOU!
I have seen Girly but it has been sometime. Time for a rewatch!
And definitely stay tuned for more British horror coming this year!
