Ep 195: Interview w/Jeff Wadlow, Director & Co-Writer of “Imaginary”
Jeff Wadlow’s latest horror film, “Imaginary,” was just released theatrically on March 8th, marking his 3rd collaboration with Blumhouse. Tune in to hear all about making this new supernatural flick and creating the “Never-Ever” imaginary world, the late addition to the film that came from the mind of James Wan, and the film festival win that led to making his first horror movie, “Cry Wolf.”

Ep 194: Do the Loco Motion
The recipe for “Stopmotion” goes a little something like this: Take two parts live action, one part stop motion animation, a dash of childlike storytelling, a pinch of losing your mind, and mix them all together. Tune in as we break down every creepy figurine, every “is this real” or “is this a hallucination” moment, and the scene that might cause even gorehounds to look away.

Ep 193: Interview w/William Butler from "F13 Pt 7," "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III," "NOTLD" (1990), and more
William Butler has quite the extensive horror résumé. He faced Jason Voorhees in “Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood,” the Sawyer clan in “Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III,” flesh-eating zombies in “Night of the Living Dead” (1990), and even appeared in 2 episodes of “Freddy’s Nightmares.” Tune in to hear all about his vast career in the genre, the many horror greats he’s worked with throughout the years, and some exciting updates on his latest projects.

Ep 192: Stay Awake or Die!
Here’s something we learned from watching “Double Blind” this week: If a pharmaceutical company’s willing to pay you 30,000 euro to participate in a drug trial, get as far away as possible! Tune in to hear us break down this new Irish thriller — from all that haunting imagery, to what “double blind” actually means, and how grateful we were for a good night’s sleep afterward.

Ep 191: Interview w/Joshua Tonks from “The Latent Image”
“The Latent Image” began as a short film and was adapted into a feature in 2022, with Joshua Tonks starring as a writer who is visited by a mysterious stranger while working on a story in a secluded cabin. Tune in to hear all about making this indie queer thriller, how Joshua felt about his character’s active imagination and motivations throughout the film, and his thoughts on a variety of famous horror movies.

Ep 190: An Evil Freaky Friday
Heather Graham, Barbara Crampton, and Judah Lewis (from “The Babysitter” movies) all switching bodies with a horny demon? How could we resist? Tune in to hear us break down “Suitable Flesh” (now available on Shudder) — from all those body-swapping seizures, to the sexy scenes that made Tim blush, and whether it succeeded in balancing all that camp, gore, and horror.
