Summary

Note: from Oct 2021-June 2022, the Scare U podcast was known as 21 Jump Scare and was organized in a slightly different fashion, with different awards. With a script by sci-fi/fantasy legend Richard Matheson (based on Dennis Wheatley's novel), and direction by journeyman Terence Fisher, THE DEVIL RIDES OUT is a Hammer horror classic. Dated by its early 20th century setting and late Sixties production, this tale of Satanic panic became infamous for earning an X rating from the British censors. Bradford makes the case that time has been kind to the film, and with a cast led by not one but two James Bond villains (Christopher Lee and Charles Gray), even Eric is convinced that this little DEVIL should take its rightful place in the horror pantheon. Background (spoiler-free)  0:00-15:40 Discussion (spoiler-heavy) 15:41-31:04 Awards (spoilers for days)  31:05 Our theme music is by Sir Cubworth, with selections from the "TDRO” soundtrack by Philip Martell.
