    Episode 233: Writer Chad Collins and Darkness Falls (2003)

    Episode 233: Writer Chad Collins and Darkness Falls (2003)

    This week we chat with writer Chad Collins! You've seen his writing in places like Slash Film, Gayly Dreadful and as a staff writer at Dread Central. We chat about how he got into writing, his relationship to horror growing up and then we find out why Darkness Falls terrified him (and Mary Beth, vicariously) growing up. Set pieces, confusing backstories, obvious meddling with the script and we try to get to the bottom of Darkness Falls' electricity bills...

    Read Paul Lê's article about revisiting Darkness Falls and its novelization here. We discuss it in the episode.

    Episode 232: Haunted Ulster Live Filmmaker Dominic O'Neill and Psycho 2 (1983)

    Episode 232: Haunted Ulster Live Filmmaker Dominic O'Neill and Psycho 2 (1983)

    This week we chat with writer/director Dominic O'Neill, the filmmaker behind Haunted Ulster Live. Mary Beth and Terry saw Haunted Ulster Live at Unnamed Footage Festival and it recently played at Panic Fest and we both fell in love with it. We chat about making the film, working with the fantastic leads, the incredibly quick shooting timeline and its inspirations before diving into Dominic's horror history. And then it all leads to Psycho 2, a sequel that freaking rocks. We talk gender identity, knives to mouths, Anthony Perkins' life and ultimately why this movie traumatized Dominic growing up.

    If you haven't seen Psycho 2, please watch it. It's a gem of a film and we, of course, spoil everything.

    You can follow Haunted Ulster Live on Twitter and Instagram. It'll be getting a release later this year, so make sure you're following so you can keep track of its release plans.

💜💜💜

Scarred for Life never fails to remind me of many a childhood movie that terrified me, and lets me know that I’m not alone thanks to all of the crazy awesome guests that talk about that one movie that messed them up. Hosts, Mary Beth and Terry, create an environment with each guest that makes you feel like you’re listening to a group of friends just hanging out and talking kindertrauma. Lots of laughs, lots of heart, and lots of cinematic knowledge are always on the menu. Also, spiders for Terry.

SPIDERS FOR TERRY

I love this podcast.
I’m always learning about some weird new movie to check out and it feels like hanging out with your horror nerd besties.
But most importantly - Terry needs to watch INFESTED. 🕷️

(I actually cant believe I haven’t left a rating for this show yet !)

Amazing Horror Podcast!

This is my favorite horror podcast! The hosts are interesting, knowledgeable, funny, and have great chemistry. I feel like I’m chatting with friends when I listen. The guests they have on are always great as well. I’ve learned about so many movies to watch (new and old) through this, it’s a great resource for horror movie fiends like me. I greatly appreciate the diverse thoughts and opinions presented here. Keep it up Mary Beth and Terry!
