2023/10/04

This year for Halloween I decided to have friends over to tell real ghost stories that have happened to them (as well as myself). I asked my friend Kamilla about any paranormal experiences she had and she told me about The Read House in her hometown of Chattanooga, TN. Although beautiful in every sense of the word, the hotel is known for the haunted room 311 where a woman had either killed herself or was killed while staying in the room in the early 1920’s. Guests have reported strange noises,

Mike Pecci has been writing and directing movies for years; his podcast “In Love with the Process” is arguably one of the best podcasts about filmmaking out there. However, much like all of us, it all began when we were kids in awe of what we were watching. While watching “Blade Runner”, a teacher asked him what his thoughts were on the wardrobe and the rest of his life went from there. His short film “12KM” has been rocking the horror market, and the only way to see it is to send him your Three

Ep. 40 - Truth or Consequences, N.M.

2023/09/19

More Quentin Tarantino inspired films! “Truth or Consequences, NM” was one of those movies that flew under the radar due to a lot of 90’s classics being released at the same time. Critics really didn't like it, but audiences were split. At the time, "Austin Powers" was rocking the theatrical circuit (I still have my original ticket to when my mom took me) and TOCNM had a very limited release (reportedly, around seven theaters in America showed this for two weeks).Did this flick stand the test of

Atlanta filmmaker Greg Foxx Jr. has made a big impact with his proof of concept film “The Duppy Man’s Walk,” exploring a carribean-spirit horror theme.

2023/08/28

Josh Bennett is back to talk about another 90’s (in this case, early 2000’s) Tarantino-inspired film. “Poolhall Junkies” was written by two real pool hustlers who were trying to hustle each other, then decided to write a script based on thier personal experiences. Although never directly stated, this film was one of many that was heavily inspired by Quentin Tarantino after his massive success in the 90's. The film was set up for a sequel involving card sharks, but life happens, and the idea was

Coming from a family of artists, Canadian filmmaker Elza Kephart always knew she wanted to create art in some way. When she repeatedly watched “Back to the Future” as a child, it was then, she knew she wanted to make movies. Over the years she made some great and memorable flicks like the fun and campy “Graveyard Alive,” to the serious “Go in the Wilderness” and most recently “Slaxx,” which is a fun and violent flick while being a serious look at corporations.

“The Collingswood Story” is the movie that tons of filmmakers should thank for being made. In the late 90’s/early 00’s, due to the massive success of “The Blair Witch Project”, there was a scramble to make found footage horror. With laptops and webcams and a world wide reach, Mike Costanza saw a movie to be made that no one else saw: Screen Life Horror. The film would marry home webcams with horror elements to create a wonderful and scary film like the world had never seen. Mike and I chat about

Man, oh man do I love this flick! It's one of those ultra-low budget movies from the 80's that you can feel an entire city (Akron, OH, to be exact) helping out to make a filmmaker's dream come true. It was secretly financed by Sam Raimi with his pay for "The Evil Dead II" and voice over's were all done by Bruce Campbell (who voices several people), Ted Raimi and other shemps.I love showing this movie to folks, and my good friend Clay Chamberlin joins the pod to discover this classic slice of zombie

n the late 90’s James Merendino crafted one of the most iconic comedy dramas of all time, “SLC Punk!” The film is a love letter (many of the characters were based on people he had known) to the punk scene of the mid 80’s, starring up and coming actor Matthew Lillard. However, James had been making movies and working in the business for a few years prior to that.
