Beetlejuice (and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice!)
Dark Natter
10/19/24 • 59 min
The first movie catapulted Michael Keaton and Tim Burton to Batman levels of fame (see our last episode, coincidentally!) Now, a mind-melting 36 YEARS LATER, the duo team up once again, along with loads of other returning cast members and some brilliantly-cast newbies, for a long long long long overdue sequel... it's showtime!!!
Mark Tilbury
Dark Natter
04/04/21 • 41 min
In today's episode, Jon welcomes book influencer, terrifying superfan and all-round ace human, Donna Morfett! In true Annie Wilkes style, Donna is pitching the books of the brilliant Mark Tilbury for a place in the hallowed halls of the Hall Of Pain, although she assures us this isn't purely because she wants to lock Mark in an inescapable dungeon forever...
Batman
Dark Natter
10/05/24 • 80 min
Given how much of a Bat-fan Jon is, this episode feels long overdue, not to mention both Jon and Liam's love of the Clown Prince of Crime and the rest of the caped crusader's rogues' gallery! Tune in to find out which other criminal masterminds are at the top of the boys' Bat-rankings, which movies they liked best (and least), which actors they reckon best filled out the cape and cowl... and (as usual) to hear some highly questionable Bat-impersonations.

MASSIVE SPOILER ALERT for The Prestige!!!
Seriously, if you haven’t seen the movie yet, do not listen to this. In fact, do not listen to this at all. It’s our notorious, infamous, legendary LOST EPISODE, considered too shambolic even for Dark Natter. But as the show’s on hiatus, and it’s Yuletide after all, we decided to finally release it as a bit of a festive treat.
Listen at your peril... and merry Christmas!!
10/31/21 • 76 min
It's the end of another sinister series of Dark Natter! And it's also Halloween... so what better way for us to bow out with a bang than by celebrating the Springwood Slasher himself, Freddy Krueger and his Nightmare On Elm Street movies??
Doom and Quake
Dark Natter
10/17/21 • 65 min
It's Jon's turn to pitch to Liam, and you know how Jon gets when he's 'into' something... his recent addiction to revolutionary 90s first person shooter Quake has led him to rediscover genre granddaddy Doom, as well as the host of other 'retro FPS' games now available as other 90s gamers get their nostalgic kicks (and shotgun blasts, and rocket-propelled grenade explosions)! But will these venerable games and their disturbing imagery still hold up well enough to earn a place in the Hall Of Pain, or are they doomed to rot in Hell...?
Jaws
Dark Natter
09/05/21 • 65 min
Join us and guest Rob Yates, long-time pal of Jon Richter and walking horror library, to discuss one of the greatest movies of all time: Jaws. Will the first film's brilliance secure it a place in our illustrious Hall Of Pain, or will the abject crapness of the sequels prove too much to overcome?? Join us for fun, fins and fishfood... we're gonna need a bigger podcast.
Lake Mungo
Dark Natter
08/22/21 • 80 min
After a couple of glowing recommendations, including from today's guest Mr James, host of the Right In The Schoolies Podcast and fellow dark fiction enthusiast, Jon embarked on a quest to get hold of this elusive movie... When he finally did, he found that its reputation and mysterious aura were thoroughly deserved, and that its ending was even darker than he expected. Tune in to find out why Lake Mungo is almost certainly the best horror movie you've never seen.
Tales Of The Unexpected
Dark Natter
08/08/21 • 51 min
Liam's back to pitch a classic British TV series, which started as a vehicle for Roald Dahl's sinister short stories... but are these tales twisted enough to secure a place in the Hall Of Pain?
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Dark Natter
12/29/24 • 56 min
It's another dark Christmas for the Dark Natter boys, and what better way to celebrate than with this classic Tim Burton festive fright-fest??
