Episode 89: Merry Podmas 2022 #5 - Bloody New Year

Episode 89 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! We hope you had a good Christmas and now it's time to raid what remains of the booze cabinet at HDMP HQ as your hosts Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell see out 2022 with a New Year-themed movie!

And it's not just a New Year, it's a BLOODY NEW YEAR! Hayley and Darren get to grips with this rarely seen 1987 horror flick from British horror icon Norman J. Warren, featuring fun fair frights, hotel hauntings and repetitive running.

Hayley and Darren talk about growing up in different eras of horror film production, the limitations of low budgets, how Bloody New Year is influenced by various iconic genre titles, the problems caused by changing its script on an almost daily basis and more besides. Your hosts also pick their own Top Five HDMP episodes of 2022. 

It's time to wish a Happy New Year to our composer Mitch Bain, whose tunes you've been able to hear on the podcast over the previous months. He can be found on social media: @whoelsebutmitch on Twitter, evertheoptimitch on Instagram.
