Who's There? A Podcast About Horror Fans

Show Notes:
This week I have an awesome conversation with British horror writer David Moody on the podcast. He revealed how he got into horror writing and self-publishing e-books in the early 90’s, what does and doesn’t scare him in horror movies,  and how he sold the movie rights to his first movie to Guillermo del Toro without an agent. He also told me what his favorite horror novels are, where he gets recommendations for what to read, and what movie he’d love to see remade.

A few weeks ago, I sat down with one of the co-owners of the Twisted Spine, Jason Mellow. Twisted Spine is New York City’s first book store for exclusively horror and dark literature. Jason told me about his first experience seeing a horror movie in theatres when he was 7 years old and how it scared him. He then ended up first getting into horror literature and realized that he was a horror fan. Later on we get into how he and his partner Lauren got the idea to open The Twisted Spine, how they designed the store, and how they went about deciding what authors to stock on the shelves and so much more.

On this week’s episode of Who’s There, I had the privilege of speaking with the writer and director behind a new movie called HOKUM, Damien McCarthy. HOKUM is out in theatres everywhere on May 1st and I can’t recommend it enough.Damien told me what it was like growing up with a horror loving father who owned a video rental store in Ireland, the horror directors he looks to for inspiration while on set, and what he includes and what he leaves out when he’s writing a new script. He then went on to tell me where the idea for the story in Hokum came from, including how he landed on the title, and how Adam Scott was cast, and so much more!

In this week’s episode, I got to chat with Toby Poser and John Adams about how they each fell in love with horror, why they decided to start making movies as a family, and how they fell into the horror genre along the way. They told me about their process of writing scripts as a family, what they do when they have a disagreement on set, and what it’s like to film movies in their hometown in the Catskills. We also talk about the story for The Glorious Dead and its structure, as well as its future.
