    Macabre Daily Podcast #121 - Rebecca Roberts & Kurt Szarka of ReadyMade Productions (May 2026)

    It’s not easy to make a film, and much like a child, it can take a village to do so without driving oneself mad. The good news is that the broader film community, and notably the horror genre, has continued to embrace the works of independent creators both as a rejection of the mainstream and as a sign of hope for the future of the creative medium of film. While big studio productions are amazing feats of coordination and collaboration, independent films are much more like miracles in that they have so much working against them; it’s miraculous when things fall into place. Rebecca Roberts and Kurt Szarka of ReadyMade Productions know that all too well, and it’s part of what makes their supernatural thriller, “Brother,” so effective. Rebecca and Kurt spent some time speaking with Matt from the Macabre Daily podcast about their passion for filmmaking and how that inspired them to start a production company that works on elevating everyone who works on a film equally. Their debut feature, “Brother,” is a tense and intimate story about a family that is left in disarray after their brother is presumed dead, or is he? It was a lovely discussion about not just the genre, but filmmaking as a whole, and we can’t thank Rebecca and Kurt enough for their time. Their debut feature, “Brother,” is available to rent or buy now, and you can follow ReadyMade’s work on their website!

    Macabre Daily Podcast #120 - The Debra Hill Podcast with Jordan Gass-Porre'

    We cover a variety of topics on the Macabre Daily podcast, but one we’ve never really tackled before was podcasting itself.  Today we’re lucky to be joined by Jordan Gass-Poore', podcast producer and investigative journalist who’s currently working on the latest season of Tales From Beyond the Pale. Gass-Poore' talks about her transition from covering climate change to, well, fictional horror and the folks who made it.  She’s currently crowdfunding a podcast about the life of the late, great Debra Hill.  You may know her credits as producer (“Halloween,” “Escape From New York,” “The Dead Zone,” and “Clue” to scratch the surface), but Gass-Poore' is ready to show the world Hill was a pioneer for women in the horror space.  We can’t wait! For more on Jordan, check out @jgasspoore and @debrahillpodcast on Instagram. The Debra Hill podcast is seeking funding through Givebutter.

    Macabre Daily Podcast #119 - "The Trouble With Tessa" with Bethany Watson & Dennis Cahlo (April 2026)

    One of the best things about being a horror fan these days is that we have not one, but multiple streaming services that cater to our darkest desires, and one of our favorites is Screambox. They have been curating some great originals yanked from some of the best genre festivals, and even released some series, like "The Trouble with Tessa" (read our review). And if you aren't familiar with the show, then you may not be familiar with the power couple behind if of Bethany Watson and Dennis Cahlo! Lowell and Matt are delighted to spend some time with the two filmmakers as they discuss what they've been watching, some behind-the-scenes tid bits about filming "The Trouble with Tessa," and a whole lot of laughter as we explore tangents upon tangents of digressing discussion. We had so much fun, we didn't even have time to get to our main topic, so stay tuned for a Part 2 coming soon!   Finally, happy belated birthday to Dennis, who celebrated another trip around the sun the day before this posts!

    Macabre Daily Podcast #118 - Talking Physical Media with Chris MacGibbon of Red Shirt Pictures (March 2026)

    We love our physical media over here at Macabre Daily.  Aside from the satisfaction of having our favorite discs on our shelves, we’re big fans of the commentaries, supplements, and even the bloopers that show up alongside the updated resolutions of some of our favorite horror films.  Today on the podcast, we’re lucky enough to speak to Chris MacGibbon, Production Coordinator at Red Shirt Pictures, a company that works tirelessly to make the classics of yesterday look and sound incredible in our disc drives. Chris is no exception.  We go over his work on Scream Factory’s retrospectives on “Night of the Demons,” as well as his current projects for Synapse like the jam-packed 4K of 1986’s “Trick or Treat.” He also updated us on the long-awaited (even that feels like an understatement) “Fright Night part 2” 4K, which comes out later this year!  This is a look behind the curtain that collectors and film fans alike won’t want to miss.

    Macabre Daily Podcast #117 - THE DAEMON with David Yohe & Matt Devino (March 2026)

    One of our favorite films from 2024 was “The Daemon,” which premiered at the UK’s FrightFest. Like so many genre films, the process of even making a film can be a miracle in itself, but to get it shown at film festivals is a whole other level of accolade that many aspiring filmmakers can only dream of. The thing is, that’s only half the proverbial battle. As any filmmaker who made it past the festival phase will tell you, finding distribution for your film is as difficult as getting it made in the first place. Navigating this landscape can be challenging, and filmmakers David Yohe and Matt Devino know what this is like firsthand. After rave reviews for their film, they would spend the next 18 months working to find a distributor to bring it to the masses. Luckily, the fine folks at Screambox know what good horror looks like and were able to snag “The Daemon” as a Screambox Exclusive! When we spoke with the duo in September 2024, we spent the time talking about the themes of grief and cosmic horror, this time we talked about the journey from film festival favorite to finding the right distribution partner. Check out the conversation below, and you can catch “The Daemon” on Screambox March 24, 2026!
