Welcome to episode 32 of The Horror Double Bill, the podcast where each week we pair two movies to create something greater than the sum of their parts.

First up is Blood on Satan’s Claw (1971) directed by Piers Haggard and starring Linda Hayden, Michele Dotrice, Wendy Padbury, and Patrick Wymark. Then we have John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness (1994) starring Sam Neill, Julie Carmen, Jürgen Prochnow, and David Warner.
