Horror 101 – Episode 130: Horror Express (1972)

A nightmare of terror travelling aboard the Horror Express!

Welcome back to the Horror 101 Podcast! On our 130th episode we go back to the early 70s and feature a Spanish film which brings Hammer favourites Lee and Cushing together as allies against an ancient evil loose on the famous Trans-Siberian train in the early 20th century.. Horror Express is very much a reverse murder mystery combined with elements of The Thing. It is now within the public domain and can be enjoyed by everyone at anytime. We hope you enjoy our Horror 101 treatment of this classic!
