FROM THE CORONER’S OFFICE: Autopsy of a Horror Movie Examines ‘Here Comes Hell’ (2019)
Check out the recent episode of the podcast Autopsy of a Horror Movie as it examines Here Comes Hell’ (2019).
Hey, folks! It’s Brucker from Autopsy of a Horror Movie, and this week on the table is the British indie horror-comedy Here Comes Hell (2019). I don’t know about you, but I love a good ole what-the-hell-movie that provides good laughs and fun nods to the classics. Here Comes Hell delivers a delightful experience that is a unique blend of an Agatha Christie dinner party, The Evil Dead, and The Old Dark House. That’s probably one of the best pitches I can give for a movie!
I had the pleasure of sitting down with actor and painter Charlie Robb to discuss his role as Victor in the film and the filmmaking experience. I was interested in interviewing Charlie because of his incredible performance. Charlie played Victor, the movie’s source of comedic relief, and he had me laughing with his incredible timing and line deliveries. While his character did bring the chuckles, he also conveyed a person with depth who struggled with the very relatable fear of parental disappointment. He is the heir to his father’s wealth and lives a lavish, spoiled life. While he now carries a heavy wallet, he also carries the guilt of not using what his father left him to make something of himself.
The script from Jack McHenry (Writer/Director) and Alice Sidgwick (Writer) plays off many deep universal fears people hide in their psyche and does not simply rely on the visual shock of pseudo-deadites chasing down the cast. Each character gets isolated to face their worst fears, and for Victor, he’s visited by the apparition of his late father to tell him the worst…
“You have disappointed me, my son. All of my fortune, I have worked for my entire life. You are throwing my life’s work into the wind.”
Outside of what we see on screen, Charlie shared some details of being on set. The house they filmed in was not a typical stage set, but a R.A.F. (Royal Air Force) base from WWII that was falling apart. Pieces of the ceiling were falling and there were critters living in the rafters. Charlie also shared that he and other cast members did some ghost hunting there. Sounds like a perfect place to film a spooky comedy!
Be sure to catch Here Comes Hell on Shudder and if you’re curious to hear the full interview with Charlie Robb, head over to your favorite podcasting app to tune in or click the links below. Also, be sure to give Charlie a follow to see his art pieces!

In Episode 61 of The Horror Press Podcast, Eli, James-Michael and Brendan talk about what they’ve been watching, what they are working on, and horror movie news.
Leave a comment on Apple or Spotify, and Brendan has promised to get a special tattoo.
What We’ve Been Up To
Eli is hockey crazed because the Canadians made the Eastern Conference Finals (they’ve since lost 4-1) and James-Michael is experimenting with shorter shorts. Everyone has seen Hokum (great fun!), Eli has been busy seeing I Love Boosters (a gorgeous mess!), Obsession (twice!), Lee Cronin’s The Mummy (it was gross and goofy!) and Blue Heron (not a horror movie, just a very good film!). James-Michael is on book 4 of Dungeon Crawler Carl (he’s loving it!), saw The Mandalorian and Grogu (it was cute!), and is playing the new Resident Evil game (fun, but Grace is a problem). Brendan is all in on Eddie Falco (he’s watching Nurse Jackie) and James Spader (he’s also watching The Black List), and is excited for Jackass: Best and Last!
Horror Press got an interesting email from a journalist asking if publications can be bribed with prediction market payouts to give a movie a specific Rotten Tomato score, and we are all curious to know if that’s actually a thing! We are excited for Disclosure Day, but Brendan is the most excited (but nothing can top Fire in the Sky). Will Spielberg’s latest marketing cook people’s brains? Sam Raimi is rebooting Magic, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is officially releasing August 7th, and Ginger Snaps is possibly getting a TV series (also check out My Animal if you love werewolf movies).
The Horror Press Podcast Discusses the Curry Barker and Kane Parsons Drama
Everyone discusses the latest film conspiracy, which is that Obsession and Backrooms was secretly directed by someone else. Both films are financial blockbusters made by young first time directors (Curry Barker and Kane Parsons) who grew up on the internet. Is this fueled by jealousy, a sense of competition between internet talent vs mainstream talent, or just rage baiting for clout? Nicolas Refn Winding is back (from the dead??) with Her Private Hell, and is rumoured to be behind the Maniac Cop reboot. Hideo Kojima disappointed us all by taking an AI check. Jason will be added to the video game Dead By Daylight (as The Slasher).

In Episode 60 of The Horror Press Podcast, James-Michael and Brendan talk about what they’ve been watching, what they are working on, and horror movie news.

What We’ve Been Up To
Eli is absent from the episode but she ran a cursed poll on the podcast instagram account asking listeners if they’d rather be the middle or the end of the human centipede, so Brendan and James-Michael discuss the results in horrifying details! James-Michael is watching Tales from the Crypt and Brendan has watched Sorority Row 10 times recently for a mysterious reason!
Brendan got his hands on a copy of the Spanish sci-fi film The Antares Paradox, as well as a box set of the Filipino Blood Island films! Also, everyone is scared of the Hantavirus!
Horror News: Hocus Pocus 3, and Trailers
Hocus Pocus 3 is in the works, and will star Kathy Najimy, Sarah Jessica Parker and Bette Midler again. It’s the 21st anniversary of House of Wax, Brendan’s favorite! The Faces of Death remake is already on VOD, and will be on Shudder soon. Ready or Not 2 is also available on VOD, and will be getting a physical release in June.
Netflix is depriving us all from more seasons of Skinwalker Ranch (only season 4 is available). Evil Dead Burn dropped both a Red Band and Green Band trailer and the boys wonder whether the trailers are still giving away too much! Are we all just living in a Deadite hellscape?
Brendan then SLANDERS ELI BY SAYING SHE LOVES AND ENDORSES SPIDER MOVIES. A teaser trailer has dropped for Poultrygiest 2: Dawn of the Chicken Dead, someone made a SAW pop-up book, and Resident Evil fans are mad at the new trailer!
Brendan and James-Michael wonder what fans actually want, and Joe Bob Briggs fans catch a stray. Blair Witch is being rebooted (no one knows how to feel about it) and a massive re-release of Adam Green’s Hatchet and all kinds of supplementary material is coming your way (it’s expensive).
