Episode 172 of the Robcast sees Robs Daniel & Wallis peering back into the mists of cinematic time, and discovering a classic of British horror. There is a reason the pair chose to look back, and they reveal why in the ep. Said classic is of course Michael Reeves' Witchfinder General, but you knew that. Notorious and heavily cut in its day, this tale of corruption and madness set against the backdrop of the English Civil War has been restored to pretty much what Reeves intended, and retains its power to disturb.

The Robs discuss its brilliance, its talented, troubled director, the making of the movie, and the wonderful cast assembled. Including Vincent Price, magnificent in a career defining role. Even if Michael Reeves hated having to use him instead of his own choice, Donald Pleasance.
