All this year, the Horror Pod Class will be exploring a century of fright films with their Yearbook series, covering one movie from each decade from 1925 through 2015. For 1955, we've got it all: Rocket ships, grouchy scientists, and invisible, bodiless space vampire squid.

Before Quatermass and the Pit, before Horror of Dracula or Curse of Frankenstein, the soon-to-be-legendary Hammer Films dipped their toes in the icy waters of horror with some early sci-fi thrillers, including this absolute banger from the pen of podcast favorite Nigel Kneale. Join Orrin and Tyler for a FREE screening of this sci-fi classic, then stick around afterward as we discuss body horror, gross monsters, how much Nigel Kneale disliked this movie, and much more!

THE HORROR POD CLASS is a monthly free screening hosted by Orrin Grey and Tyler Unsell where they seek out horror films that could be useful in a school setting. Screenings start at 7pm with a live podcast recording taking place after.
