The Ghost Gig

GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY - Whether you know this song from Johnny Cash, the Blues Brothers or Me First and the Gimme Gimmes you probably don't know the surprisingly rich history of this absolute classic by Stan Jones. 

Saddle up with us and learn all about the torture, Norse gods and demonic goats in this songs storied past

We take on a listener suggested film with 2017's Veronica before hearing about the true story that inspired it in Madrid, 1990. 

Christmas comes but once a year, so it's about time we feature your favourite Alpine winter-y monster! 

A Mexican possession story and a Muller Rice; neither of which are as messy as they could have been! We also learn something more about some sinister Mexican horror stories.

We've heard of the tortured artist working away at their masterpiece; but a haunted artist? In a church? Ok, but after we talk about Wendell & Wild!

Alice's mum joins us once again for a ghost walk, a murdered Japanese boy and a big ol' Smile

Stories of Orphans and asylums! We saw the recent Orphan: First Kill - so you know what we do about horror films by now, don't you? 

Alice graces us with another solo episode all about the infamous 27 club! Want to know some of the sinister and frankly bizarre theories behind it? Have no clue what we're on about? Then listen now!!!

Creepy orphans, mysterious deaths and whistling along to the TV? Yep, it's all in a days work for some...

We review Coraline, we sing about Coraline but Alice tells us about the historical story of Coraline

Why would watching The Conjuring (2013) illicit talk of demons, Daft Punk and mashed potato? 

Washing ashore after watching and singing about The Lure (2015) - otherwise known as Córki dancingu - wets our appetites for more stories of watery creatures from across the oceans. 

Back by popular demand; Alice's' mum joins us again to share her thoughts on The Innocents (1961) and we get so into it our recorder gives up. Alice then continues with the next part Nandor Fodor's investigation into Alma Fielding and the Poltergeist of Thornton Heath

We never do find out who was touching Elenore's hand in The Haunting, but we tried to find out twice! We then delve into the story behind the story to learn how one of the most famous ghost stories in America came to be, and how eggs are involved...

Last Night In Soho graced out eyes, minds and ears - so we must sing about it! After Edgar Wright gets us pacing these alluring but notorious rhythmic streets we take you elsewhere in London to hear other tales of ghoulish woe...

After a couple of missed attempts and intrusive illness, we finally got to re-watch and sing our thoughts on The Woman In Black at the theatre! In the spirit (ha!0 of things, we then listen to some other ghostly tales from around the same time period.

We decide to knock on the door of His House, unprepared for what awaited us. Hear our thoughts and also hear about some monsters you may not be familiar with.

Just a note here; this episode was recorded shortly before the developing invasion and resultant refugee situation in Ukraine.

Changing things up, we have our first ever guest on with us! This time around we review Danny Robins' play 2:22 A Ghost Story before we hear more from the creepiest baby monitors...

A special isolation episode: Alice has (mostly) lost her voice and it's up to Vince to read things to her... 

Is there anything more scary than being back in school? OK, there probably is, but after watching Carrie (1976) we might need to think about it a little first...

As 2021 lays gasping for breath we serve up a double helping of musical reviews! Santa Sleighs (2005) and Mercy Christmas (2018) get crammed in and we see if we're in for a Mr Creosote moment. Then, we hear about some terrifying toys

Plunged into the icy coldness of The Curse of La Llorona for a fresh review before we look into some of the stories surrounding the history of this (to us) mysterious soggy ghost.

For those in the know; the Instagram saga continues as we remain locked out of our own account with no explanation, but our shiny NEW Instagram account is @theghostgiguk!

Halloween on Hallowe'en and also a little (less scary) fan-girling. We also open up the spooky mailbag for the first time and share some of your personal tales...

Apparently the Hills Have Eyes, but also so do some beaches, caves and cliffs... Who'd have thought it?

It's our Hallowe'en Spooktacular, so it's high time we tackle a heavyweight of the genre! We spent time with some of the many entities that make up the classic 1973 film, The Exorcist. 

We sink our fangs into Hugh Jackma- I mean Van Helsing! Then we see what we can dig up about the history of the legendary vampire (the one that doesn't frickin' sparkle)...

Alice and Vince sit through some supposedly teenage tits in Friday the 13th (2009) then explore some spooky in's and out's of their hometown.

Sharing our brutally honest thoughts on 2005's The Boogeyman and Alice takes us on a haunted trip up Bluebell Hill in Kent.

We sing our thoughts on the 2009 film Drag Me To Hell and Alice continues to drag up her own tales from her experiences.

We dig into Pet Sematary - not the 1989 one, the 2019 one... and Vince follows up the creepy tales from the dusty recesses of his memory.

In this very first episode we review the cult Netflix series "Dark Tourist" and Alice kicks off our creepy tales with some of her own spine-tingling experiences.
