Chronicle Season Two: Episode 3 – The Devils

Welcome back to another season of Chronicle Podcast (An Almanac of Old World Horrors), this is season 2 episode 3.

This is a podcast dedicated to discussing European Horror Cinema only and is the brainchild of podcaster Duncan McLeish (The Podcast Under the Stairs). Each season will run for 6 episodes and drop every two weeks with season 2 looking exclusively at European Horror Cinema through its Witches.

With an emphasis on giving you an insight into some of the weird and wonderful stories behind the movies, we continue this new seasons journey with The Devils (1971). Widely considered the most controversial, one critic going so far as to call it “grand fiesta for sadists and perverts”, The Devils has never been released uncut and thats unlikely to change.

Chronicle Podcast was researched, written, recorded and produced by me for you!!

Join me next time to look at Suspiria (1977).
