    Episode 085- Last Kiss

    Episode 085- Last Kiss

     

    Nothing marks the end of an era more potently than when the icons of that era pass away.

    The cold reality is that when horror icons pass away, they rarely get memorialized in mainstream arenas.

    So, I wanted to give an "Irish Wake", a happy send-off for several of the people who passed away over the last few years. The people who gave horror fans their First Kiss.

    Consider this episode the Last Kiss, a retrospective of the careers of writers, directors, actors, and illustrators and a final recommendation of their work.

    Episode 083- We Need to Talk About Guillermo

    (Photo credit: CHRISTOPHER WAHL/CONTOUR BY GETTY IMAGES)

    If director Guillermo del Toro didn't exist, we horror fans would have had to invent him. 

    He's a true lifelong fan himself, who brought his unique style and passion to horror films, and his love for monsters paid off when The Shape of Water won Best Picture in 2017. 

    So...why is there so little conversation about Guillermo del Toro in the horror community?

    Has the man who makes horror films as love letters to the Outsider been branded an outsider because of mainstream success?

    Join me and my guest, John Arminio, as we look at some of del Toro's films to remind ourselves of the genre-bending richness and the pure, joyous fun of them.

    All hail hybrid vigor!

    I hope you enjoy the show!

    Episode 081- Hellbent for HORROR NOIRE

    The excellent new documentary, HORROR NOIRE: A HISTORY OF BLACK HORROR, is a love letter to the rich, powerful history of Black American artists in horror cinema.

    The story is told by the artists who made the movies, and they give their unflinching perspectives on the past, present, and future of black horror.

    Join me as I speak with Executive Producers Dr. Robin Means Coleman and Tananarive Due about their documentary, Black horror, and their "First Kisses" with horror!

    Dr. Coleman is currently the Vice President and Associate Provost for Diversity, and a Professor in the Department of Communication at Texas A&M University. She has also written many books about media and the cultural politics of Blackness, including the book that is the source material for this documentary.

    Tananarive Due is a filmmaker, author of 12 novels and educator steeped in black horror and Afrofuturism.

    Since 2017, she has been teaching a class at UCLA called “The Sunken Place.” Inspired by the movie Get Out, the class delves into the century-spanning history of black horror.

    Episode 080- Violent Femmes: Women in Horror Film Festival

    On October 4th, 2018, hundreds of figures dressed in black walked into the Wisdom Woods of Georgia to perform an unholy ceremony.

    And popcorn was eaten.

    I was a witness to the Women in Horror Film Festival, and I lived to tell the tale!

    I interview festival co-founder and film director Vanessa Ionta Wright as well as several of the talented filmmakers in attendance as we discuss film inspirations, real-life ghosts, nuns who perform street justice, and everyone's first kiss with horror!

    EPISODE 079- RANGER DANGER: AN INTERVIEW WITH JENN WEXLER

    So, what does “Punk Rock Attitude” mean, anyway?

    There are as many answers to this question as there are punk rockers. 

    Although the connection between heavy metal and horror is well documented, the connection between horror and punk rock isn’t discussed as much.

    Yet, movies like CLASS OF 1984, and LIQUID SKY, and RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, and even RE-ANIMATOR exude a punk rock attitude with a nihilistic brand of humor and irreverence.

    And now, there's a new punk rock kid in town! THE RANGER (2018) is an homage to slasher films and punk rock movies from the 1980s, and director/co-writer Jenn Wexler joins me to talk about horror, music, fake blood recipes, and becoming a surprise hit at SXSW!

    I hope you enjoy the show!

    “The only way of discovering the limits of the POSSIBLE is to venture a little way past them into the IMPOSSIBLE”. -Arthur C. Clarke

    When we watch a movie, or we listen to someone tell a story, we actively allow ourselves to believe in that level of magic.

    We want to believe there is still magic in the world.

    And, guess what?

    There still is.

    Join me as I speak with my special guest, Victoria Mavis. Victoria as an internationally renowned magician, author, podcaster and professional wizard who joins me to talk about the connections between horror movies, magic and science technology.

    Victoria even gives us a list of her favorite horror movies and how they delve into the world of magic!

    ROAD KILLS is a collection of short tales of dark comic horror from the mind of Isaac Thorne. These stories are all connected to travel, to the road. After all, it is always lurking there, quiet and dark, just waiting for you to come out for a drive or a walk or a jog. However you next confront it, the road is already there, plotting.

    About the Author:
    Isaac Thorne is a nice man who has, over the course of his life,
    developed a modest ability to spin a good yarn. Really. He promises.
    He also avoids public men’s restrooms at all costs. He considers
    himself a lover of books, music, movies, and other forms of pop
    culture phenomenon. His philosophy on his life is that it’s all one
    giant experiment.

    Episode 077- There is a Haunted House in Town

    Just because things might seem normal and ordinary…doesn’t mean they really ARE.

    Some places, no matter what your eyes tell you, just feel…weird…creepy…uncanny.

    Every culture has a haunted place…a haunted house.

    And Halloween is the night many of us go out to seek these haunted places!

    In this episode I visit some haunts in the San Francisco Bay Area, including Into the Dark’s Terror Vault, Mr. Nobody’s Mystic Midway, and one of the 10 Most Haunted Places in the World, the Winchester Mystery House!

    Happy Halloween!

    I hope you enjoy the show!

    Episode 076- We Lost It In the '80s: An Interview With the Creators of "In Search of Darkness"

    The '80s were horror movie heaven.

    A wild mixture of new technology, misfit filmmakers, obscure distributors, rich dentists trying to find tax shelters, buckets of blood and latex, and home video rental helped usher in one of the most prolific and influential eras in horror film history.

    A new documentary in the works, IN SEARCH OF DARKNESS: A JOURNEY INTO ICONIC '80s HORROR, that has the potential to become the definitive look at this wild decade of horror.

    Join my guests, Director David Weiner and Executive Producer Robin Block as they discuss their documentary, their passions and what movies they consider their "First Kiss"!

    Check out the trailer and more at the In Search of Darkness Kickstarter page: https://kck.st/2pSVNkW

    EPISODE 075- B@T$H1T CR@ZY HORROR MOV1E$

    Batshit Crazy horror movies are the messy upstarts that couldn’t blend into the crowd if they tried.

    They may not be for everyone, and they may be far from perfect, and they may never get critical praise, but they are not boring.

    They are so out of step with what is popular at the time that they have a timelessness to them.

    Because REAL CRAZY never ages.

    Episode 074- Bad Blood Relations

    Episode 074- Bad Blood Relations

    Madness! Murder! Possession! Vengeful Gods!
    With the Ancient Greeks, it was all in the family.
    Many Greek Tragedies dealt with anxiety around the fragility of families in a dangerous world.
    The most frightening theme was the families destroying themselves from the inside.


    What is it in our nature that drives some of us to madness, cruelty and self-destruction?
    Just like the Greek Tragedies, some modern horror films ask this question of the audience, and the results can be as upsetting as they can be terrifying.


    Join me as I look at horror movies that mix Ancient Greek nihilism and biblical retribution!

    I hope you enjoy the show!

    Episode 073- The Woods Outside and the Woods Within

    Back when the campfire was the center of the village, the woods were the dark home of dangerous creatures and magical beings. The woods were considered sinister places that epitomized the unknown.

    So, it's no surprise that horror films are right at home with the woods!

    My guests, Hope Madden and George Wolf from the Fright Club Podcast join me to talk about some of the most interesting horror films that use the woods to explore literal, symbolic and even psychological monsters!
