The Parallax Views spooky season series continues with a brand-new Halloween treat! Host J.G. Michael unearths a never-before-released conversation with Jason Nunes — a behind-the-scenes veteran of ’90s horror and B-movie filmmaking whose art department credits include NECRONOMICON: BOOK OF THE DEAD, LEPRECHAUN 2, PUMPKINHEAD II: BLOOD WINGS, RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD III, and GHOULIES IV.
Nunes shares fascinating stories about the challenges and creativity of bringing low-budget horror films to life — from improvised effects and set design ingenuity to the unpredictable energy of 1990s horror production. He also offers firsthand memories of working with Warwick Davis, Brian Yuzna, Melinda Clarke, Richard Lynch, Screaming Mad George, Mickey Rooney, Bruce Payne, David Warner, and others, plus surprising anecdotes involving Corey Haim, Matt Damon, and Tobey Maguire. Oh, and we talk about the craziness of working with Jim Wynorski on Ghoulies IV!
Perfect for Halloween, this episode dives deep into the world of cult horror, practical effects, and the art department magic that defined a generation of B-movie filmmaking.
