RAMON FEAR'S TERROR TAPES@terrortapespod.bsky.social · 2w ago

THE CHEERFUL FEARFUL RETURN! 💀🎙 Join us for funny, frightening, fleshy Fear in October. www.tickettailor.com/events/cheer... I have been quiet on socials as my team are in the lab cooking up what could be my most ambitious Terror Tape yet... You'll be seeing more of me and my House very soon...

Playing 'Wonderwall' on guitar at a party once is lame and cliche but playing it twice at the same party should be an arrestable offence.

I went a little Mediterranean with my film choices lately - 2 Italian and 2 Spanish. Diverti E Disfruta!

10 Years ago on Wednesday 13th July, my first (and only) series 'Expenses Only' aired on BBC Radio 4. Since it is the 10th Anniversary of its broadcast, I have dug up and uploaded the original demo recordings made by a small team of us back in 2014. (1/2) soundcloud.com/hot-seat-pro...

So sad waking up to the news this morning about Sam Neill. 'Jurassic Park' and 'Hunt for the Wilderpeople' are obviously two absolute faves but it was only in the last few years I discovered how brilliantly he could do horror as well with 'Event Horizon' and 'In the Mouth of Madness'. (1/2)

Thanks Alex! Good luck at the Fringe :) Out of Character podcast is highly recommended, a great listen! shows.acast.com/out-of-chara...

I know they're not THE WORST people in the world but - people who film practically entire concerts or gigs on their phone, holding it right above their heads so it becomes a distraction for everyone behind them - I believe there is a special place in hell for those people.

I don't know how they've done it! Again!! A fifth time!!! How many franchises produce 5 excellent films in a row? It's hilarious, emotional, and had a truly great story for Jessie at the heart of it! I do hope it makes a difference to how children play. Go and see it!

PS: Apologies I look like a robot on camera. 'Hot one out there.'

Exciting news! 1. New outfit. 2. We are bringing Out Of Character up to Edinburgh Fringe this year. Alex will be broadcasting live from Fresh Air Radio from 4th-6th August, 10am-12pm. Short interviews with some of the best sketch and character acts playing at the Fringe this year. (1/2)

Just the one Isolation Cinema for June on both sides of my holiday. All definitely worth your time!

@countarthurstrong.bsky.social Hello! Please follow me back, I'd like to message you about something. Thanks! :)

Many Happy and Horrid Returns to this mad and marvellous bastard, @weirdwyrdweird.bsky.social, with whom I have had the displeasure of scribbling and Fear-mongering for almost 5 years! 👻🎂💜

Heartbreaking news! I was incredibly lucky enough to work with Penelope once. She was wonderful and incredibly kind and down to Earth. Let us all wear newspaper hats at our next dinner party in her honour - as long as its not The Daily Mirror. R.I.P. the unforgettable Dame Penelope Keith! 😭

Happy 100th Birthday to the legendary Mel Brooks. This is still his best film! 😁🎉 m.youtube.com/watch?v=bSUr...

Last night, The Cardigans played their first UK gig in 8 years. It was amazing!! I'm so glad I went. I was practically giddy when they played 'Erase/Rewind' and merged it into 'Burning Down The House'. Plus, the whole event was 5pm-9pm. Love it! More gigs with early finishes, please! 😂🎤🎸

He Terminado! Only took 2046 Days! 😂🇪🇸

Last night, I saw Lil Wenker 'Boyking' at Soho Theatre. What a show! Hysterical and accomplished character and clown narrative comedy from a massively talented and incredibly likeable performer. And this was just a work-in-progress! You have to see it!

Amongst his many comedy performances, one under-appreciated one is in FREE AGENTS. R.I.P to a remarkable actor. 💔

Not Anthony Head! This is devestating news. What an actor! I always wish I had seen him play Frank-N-Furter in Rocky Horror. Can you imagine how good that would have been?! He was so talented and apparently an absolute sweetheart. Let us all raise a mug of Nescafe Gold blend in his honour. R.I.P. 😭

To quote @weirdwyrdweird.bsky.social "Possibly the only librarian action hero". Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Anthony Head. He managed to tread comedy, horror, fantasy, and drama and naturally fit like a glove into every single one. Pour out a little Nescafe Gold Blend in tribute. R.I.P.

The last days of May in the Isolation Cinema. All flock to All4.

Thanks again so much to all my guests this series and to you for listening and following. I really do love making this show. Series 6 production already underway. Watch this space. In the meantime, I'm getting ready for my holiday! X

'Kids waiting to see Father Christmas.' Since it's not just the end of the series but also the end of the month, here is one final clip for you from our chat with Peter Serafinowicz. In this one, Peter talks about meeting his fans in character as Brian Butterfield. shows.acast.com/out-of-chara...

Isolation Cinema for most of May. It's too hot to think of a thematic link but they're all good and have top quality casts.
