Who's There? A Podcast About Horror Fans

Show Notes:
This week I also got to chat  with director Jeremiah Kipp. Jeremiah directed the film adaptation of The Mortuary Assistant which is in theatres as of this episode’s release date. Jeremiah was so much fun to talk to and we chatted for over an hour. He told me why he felt like horror movies were his friends growing up, what attracted him to direct The Mortuary Assistant, and how his cast came together. He also told me what determines whether or not he takes a project on, the video games he’d love to adapt, and a couple of the meaningful moments he had on the set of The Mortuary Assistant. The Mortuary Assistant will be on Shudder on March 27th.

Show Notes:
This week I had the opportunity to chat with horror writer Haley Newlin on the show. Her latest book The Film You Are About To See was released last October on Max Axe Media and it was inspired by her love for William Castle movies and drive-in movies. She revealed her writing process and the theory she uses when she sketches out her story beats. She also told me why she is so drawn to oldies horror, why she is critical of horror movies that include twins in the plot, and so much more!

Show Notes:
I had the incredible opportunity to speak with director Darren Lynn Bousman and star Lauren LaVera about their new movie Twisted and it was such a fun conversation. Twisted is a messed up movie that is now available on VOD and I got some insider information on how they both got involved with the project, the one movie Darren always watches before working on a new project, what Lauren got to do on set that she hadn’t done before, how often Darren watches Shudder, what scares them both in horror movies today, and so much more. Check out Twisted everywhere now on VOD.

Show Notes:
This week I had a conversation with the writers behind the short called Hystericus about a giant vulva monster, Jessica Lauren Richmond and Peyton Blackmer. Men, if you’re unsure of what that is, go google it. They told me where the idea for the short came from, how they found their cast, and what it’s been like taking it on the festival circuit. Jessica, who also directed the short, revealed her favorite horror directors that inspired her on the set, and they reveal their future plans for Hystericus after their festival run is finished. We also get into a pretty rad discussion about The Blair Witch Project towards the end! Apologies up front for my mic being pretty low but you’re not here to hear me speak so hopefully it’s OK.
