In this rather unusual episode of Creepy Cove, Peter turns up at the church ready for another lovely horror themed church service, but is struck by the eerie atmosphere...OF AN EMPTY CHURCH. Where is the congregation? Thankfully, Peter is able to have a conversation with Church Administrator Rupert Donk, to learn that a terrible blight has reached even Creepy Cove...Yet the show must go on, in some way...and so after ten minutes of chat, Rupert dusts off an old cassette and plays it...what is on the tape, you ask? I shall tell you.For it is the Flicks That Church Forgot Horror Song Music Special from 2014. Previously thought lost (e.g. behind a Patreon Paywall) that special show, broadcast from The Overlook Hotel, is played in it's entirety for your pleasure. That music special features songs from horror films, METICULOUSLY recreated by Peter Laws with his keyboard, guitar and a Macbook. Music includes songs from THE WICKER MANCARRIEHOWLING II: YOUR SISTER IS A WEREWOLFTEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE IISILVER BULLETTHE LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEKKINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS &DEADTIME STORIES (aka Freaky Fairy Tales)So please sit back and enjoy this tale of two halfs, almost...a dip into Creepy Cove, and then a special night of entertainment from the vault...all in a bid to wish you, our loyal listener...a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!www.patreon.com/creepycoveSupport the show

Welcome to another episode of Creepy Cove Community Church! You will find herein, a recording of our most recent church service. Which we shall tell you about in words below...Please note that this is the SERMON ONLY version. If you'd like the full experience, complete with an interview with the killer doll Chucky from the film series Child's Play then please proceed with haste to the FULL SERVICE VERSION which should be sitting just next to this one. Tonight Peter  leads us in a 'sermon' on the topic 'What Is Love?' and at no point does he say, 'Baby, don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more.' What a missed opportunity, ey?Following this address, we have a time of prayer and meditation followed by the church band who leap to the stage to perform this week's Horror Hymn. This highly effecting electro track explores who the science fiction future we were all promised (glitter wigs, robots and people dressed in glass and metal) never materialised. And so the people of the modern age are wearing much more mundane attire...the title of this though provoking toe-tapper is 'THE FUTURE IS FLEECE'. This track uses an actual vocoder, so please be impressed. May this service please you, encourage you, amuse you or disgust you...but may it never make you feel unwelcome.

Welcome to another episode of Creepy Cove Community Church! You will find herein, a recording of our most recent church service. Which we shall tell you about in words below...The service opens with our church administrator Rupert Donk, who (after warning people to avoid a sleeping Mr Upson Pratt in the front row) proceeds to share some exciting news about our minister Peter Laws.

Tune in to that for free every Sunday, for scary but true tales of the paranormal, creepy crime, bizarre creatures, urban myths and much more! Just search 'FRIGHTFUL' in your podcast apps, or on Spotify.After that blatant, but well intentioned plug, Rupert has a most invigorating discussion with a local haunted doll. Chucky's the name, and murderin' and disrespectin' in his game. But will he behave himself now he's in a church? Let's hope so! After that, it's over to Peter who leads us in a 'sermon' on the topic 'What Is Love?' and at no point does he say, 'Baby, don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more.' What a missed opportunity, ey?Following this address, we have a time of prayer and meditation followed by the church band who leap to the stage to perform this week's Horror Hymn.

Welcome one and all to Creepy Cove Community Church, the only horror themed church on the planet (as far as we know). This is the FULL SERVICE...if you just want the 'sermon/ talk' then check out the SERMON ONLY version next to this one. Rupert Donk opens tonight's service with some words of extreme caution regarding the dangerous peak on which the church stands. Then we have a special impromptu guest called Ash Williams, who we saw running out of the forest, holding a chainsaw and a shotgun. What on earth could the young scamp have been up to? A party for the youth, we should imagine. Though one wonders if there might be a more sinister reason for the blood on his clothes and chin. Next, Annabelle, the little haunted doll, delivers our Bible Reading, then Peter hops up to the microphone to share some thoughts on 'Dealing with Rejection'.There's a vaguely 'Five Nights at Freddies' meditation after that and then a prayer. Until the service is closed with Ash himself, who offers to sing a smooth bossa nova called 'How Could I Have Known (A Love Song For Linda after I Chopped her Head Off by Ash from The Evil Dead). What a convoluted title, ey? Finally, Peter and Rupert talk about the humble Garibaldi biscuit brand...then it's the end of the service. Thanks for listening.

So be careful out there, Covers!We are then joined by a very special guest...the ghost of legendary oil painter Bob Ross. Yes, Spectral Bob will be chatting to us about painting and his love of nature...but does his love of the natural world go too far? Join us to see what you think.

Why 'Forgiving Your Enemies' Makes Weird Sense' - Part 1SERMON ONLY EDITION Season Three - Episode ThreePlease note that this is the SERMON ONLY edition. If you'd like to have the full experience...including an interview with Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees, then check out the FULL VERSION.Peter Laws talks about the topic: 'Why Forgiving Your Enemies Makes Sense'. To be honest, it doesn't make a lot of sense, so we will be intrigued to see where he goes with this particular homilie. After a moment of eerie prayer and meditation (based on the work of a writer called Corrie Ten Boom*), we hand over to a talented singer songwriter called Nathaniel Orr with his moving song: 'Have It Your Way'. “Nate is a singer-songwriter based in South Wales and is currently learning how best to serve career artists in their work. He trusts that God will teach and guide him to better understand the wounds in the art world and play a small part in helping to bring God’s healing.”Tonight's topic can be a challenging one for many of us, and for those of us who have been hurt deeply, the idea of loving our enemies can understandably feel foolish or even cruel. We hope that the service does not pressure you in any sort of naive way, but rather we hope it might give some pointers for how your life might be improved. And if it's not for you, ignore it at your leisure!Thank you for attending our windswept church on the peak!*Note: Corrie Ten Boom did not write the hit 90s song Boom, Boom, Shake, Shake the Room.

In this service we explore this topic with zest!Our Church Administrator Ruper Donk opens proceedings with a surprising (and shocking) new seating plan. Then, he shares some exciting news about Mrs. Kitner's filthy sink hole that she has filled with water to enable locals to swim. Mrs Kitner lost her son Alex in an INCREDIBLY BLOODY demon shark attack last year. So she's providing alternative swimming opps for those too frightened of a beach dip. Then it's over to an incredibly historic moment. For tonight, notorious, local mortality botherers, Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger have agreed to lay down their machete and knife glove - for they are coming together in a special 'Forgiveness & Reconciliation' Ceremony. It's a new day, and we are hopeful that it will all go as planned and the two rivals will be bowling together with laughter, soon. Then, after a Bible reading from little, haunted Annabelle it's over to our minister Peter Laws who will talk to us about the topic: 'Why Forgiving Your Enemies Makes Sense'. To be honest, it doesn't make a lot of sense, so we will be intrigued to see where he goes with this particular homilie. After a moment of eerie prayer and meditation (based on the work of a writer called Corrie Ten Boom*), we hand over to a talented singer songwriter called Nathaniel Orr with his moving song: 'Have It Your Way'. “Nate is a singer-songwriter based in South Wales and is currently learning how best to serve career artists in their work.
