Send us a text The best horror conversations start with a prop on the table. Ours begins with a skull covered in signatures and spirals into a fast, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt ride through Abominable, Victor Crowley, and the moments that turn midnight movies into lifelong obsessions. With Tiffany Shepis at Round Con 2025, we unpack the creature‑feature charm of Abominable, why its stacked cameos keep blindsiding us, and how a “Friday night sci‑fi” label hid a sharp, crowd‑pleasing thri...
Send us a text The floor is loud, the badges are bent, and we’re already arguing. From the first hello, we jump straight into the hot coals of horror fandom: which sequels actually move the story forward, and which ones only replay the trailer in longer form. The Scream series takes center stage as we unpack the leaked script saga, rewrites that changed character arcs, and the emotional whiplash of loving a franchise that sometimes loses the thread. One of us left Scream 3 devastated—not by f...
Send us a text Ever wonder what it’s like to act when your costume is literally glued shut? We take you straight onto a cult-horror set, where latex suits creak, tiny motors hum inside masks, and the blood gag has to hit its mark on the first try. It’s sweaty, surreal, and oddly joyful—exactly the messy alchemy that turns a low-budget oddity into a lifelong favorite. We break down how performers adapt when they can’t hear live direction, why body language becomes the lead actor, and how prac...
Send us a text A seemingly “too weird to work” movie becomes a touchstone for generations—that’s the magic we tap into as we sit down with voices from Killer Klowns From Outer Space at Four Realms 2025. From the very first fangirl moment to a cascade of memories about rubbery practical effects, late‑night shoots, and a cotton‑candy sense of menace, we explore how a film that defied every box ended up building a box of its own: a beloved cult home where fans keep coming back. We revisit the o...
Send us a text Blood sprays, walls laugh, and somehow it’s beautiful—Evil Dead II still feels brand-new because the craft behind the chaos never ages. We sit down with Cassie DePaiva and Sarah Barry to pull back the cabin door and share how a tight script, fearless performances, and razor-sharp timing turned a low-budget experiment into a horror-comedy landmark. We dig into the set culture that made it work: Sam Raimi’s precise plan behind the camera, Rob Tapert’s ruthless schedule, and Bruc...
Send us a text A fake trailer doesn’t usually earn a second life, let alone a cult following—but Thanksgiving cut a clean path from Grindhouse gag to modern slasher icon. We pull back the curtain with the team who wore the mask and took the hits, tracing how a simple holiday hook became a full-feature blueprint: clear geography, practical gore, and a killer whose movement tells the story before any line does. From first day in costume to the moment the prosthetics clicked, you’ll hear how on-...
Send us a text Salt spray, shark lore, and the thin line between fear and fandom—this conversation dives straight into the craft that gives horror its bite. We open with Tom Morton’s vivid memories from Jaws second-unit work on Catalina: underwater setups, safety puzzles, and the gritty logistics that made the original feel so real you can taste the brine. Those details set the stage for a bigger question we keep returning to: why do some sequels become legends while others wash out? We expl...
Send us a text A cinematography book changed the way Michael Berryman acts—and it might change the way you watch movies. We sit down with the cult horror icon to unpack how learning the camera’s language during One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest helped him craft the precise, unsettling presence that made The Hills Have Eyes a classic. Wes Craven saw potential and built space for it, and Michael takes us behind the dust and danger of guerrilla filmmaking: tiny budgets, big tension, and choices t...
Send us a text Guitars that bite, hooks that stick, and a frontperson who treats the stage like a high-voltage ritual—this conversation with Jossie pulls back the curtain on how modern rock gets made and why it still matters. We start where the obsession began: Beatles on repeat, pots-and-pans drum kits, blues records on the family stereo. That early gravity toward rhythm and melody grew into a craft sharpened at Berklee, where songwriting, arranging, and gypsy jazz chops turned raw instincts...
Send us a text The storm outside was real, but the conversation turned into shelter. We sat down with John Treanor of Tombstones in Their Eyes to trace the long arc from childhood piano lessons and punk’s fearless ethic to the fully realized pulse of Asylum Harbor. What emerged is a candid look at how modern psychedelic rock, shoegaze, and dream pop can still feel dangerous, beautiful, and cohesive—an album you play all the way through, not a playlist fragment. John walks us through the band...
Send us a text The funniest part of chasing a dream isn’t the victory lap—it’s the miles you put in when nobody’s watching. We sit down with comedian Nathan Lund to talk about building a career that lasts, why “making it” doesn’t always mean going viral, and how to earn laughs fast without losing your voice. Nathan breaks down why open mics are still the best classroom, how one-minute sets can teach brutal lessons about pacing, and why patience beats panic when you’re new and hungry. We wand...
Send us a text Michael Ciravolo, President of Schecter Guitars and the creative force behind Beauty and Chaos, pulls back the curtain on his musical journey in this candid, free-flowing conversation about artistic integrity in the digital age. Beginning with his formative musical awakening—watching Mark Bolan of T-Rex perform on late-night television—Ciravolo reveals how his approach to guitar playing has always prioritized emotion and expression over technical showmanship. This philosophy c...
