    ICONS OF FRIGHT EPISODE 5 – A NEW BEGINNING

    Join your hosts Rob Galluzzo, Mike Cucinotta, Jason Alvino, and Adam Barnick as they wrap up their look back on the first 5-6 years of Icons of Fright, all of which is in the new Harker Press book, Icons Of Fright: 100 Interviews With Legendary Horror Filmmakers. We talk about how Icons led to spin-off sites such as Massive Hysteria and Icons Of Punk, the evolution of the horror website cycle as the turn of 2010. We contextualize the “lost interviews” featured in the book and how the brand new ones with Parker Finn, Jon Watts, and Danny Philippou came about. Each host shares their personal favorite interview in the book, and what the future may hold. Because let’s face it, these days, ya gotta have a sequel, right? Opening theme song is “I Came To Kill” by Late Night Horror Show, written and performed by Clint Carney. BUY THE BOOK!
