We're going a bit dark this week on BEHIND THE LENS thanks to writer/director JEREMY RUDD and his directorial feature debut with DIE'CED: RELOADED, and the fabulous veteran director CHUCK RUSSELL and his latest dive back into the darkness with WITCHBOARD. Let's kick things off with JEREMY RUDD and his feature debut, DIE'CED: RELOADED, which follows the story of Benny, an infamous serial killer who escapes a high-security asylum on Halloween night, turning 1980s/90s Seattle into a blood-soaked nightmare. Reborn behind a twisted scarecrow mask, he leaves a trail of carnage across the suburbs, as whispers of his gruesome past resurface, fueling panic in a city soaked in neon and fear. But Benny isn't just killing for pleasure – he's hunting someone. A young woman unknowingly tied to the darkest chapter of his madness becomes his fixation, and the closer he gets, the bloodier it gets. The result is a brutal, synth-drenched scarecrow slasher soaked in nostalgia, where Benny carves his place in horror history – one body at a time. Then we shift gears with the wonderful director, writer, and producer CHUCK RUSSELL. Resurrecting the '80's horror classic with a chilling new vision, WITCHBOARD takes place in present-day New Orleans, where a cursed artifact unleashes a vengeful witch, drawing a young couple into a deadly spiral of possession, temptation, and occult terror. Directed by Chuck Russell and co-written by Chuck and Greg McKay, WITCHBOARD stars Madison Iseman, Aaron Dominguez, Melanie Jarnson, Charlie Tahan, Antonia Desplat, and, one of my favorites, Jamie Campbell Bower. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

Show Notes:In this episode, Aaron told me how he watched certain horror movies at far too young an age and why horror has always called to him from an acting perspective. Then we get into talking about Witchboard, including how he got the role, what it was like to work with director Chuck Russell, and how it was to work with a cat onset. Something spooky and unexpected happened during our conversation too and he has a light bulb moment where he realizes everything has come full circle for him.

Horror master Chuck Russell — the director behind A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, The Blob, The Mask, Eraser, and The Scorpion King — returns to the genre with Witchboard (2025). In this Talking Strange interview, Russell opens up to host Aaron Sagers about his own beliefs in the supernatural, his hands-on research into pendulum boards, and his personal paranormal experiences. He also discusses bringing Witchboard's story of possession, deception, and dark forces in New Orleans to life, and what it means to step back into horror after decades of iconic filmmaking — and doing so in a whole new entertainment landscape. Whether you're a fan of his cult classics or curious about real-life ghost stories, this conversation dives into the fascinating overlap between Russell's filmmaking and the paranormal.Have you ever used a Ouija Board?

An impromptu decision to do something "Halloween-y" led us to 1994 meta-slasher Wes Craven's New Nightmare, the seventh installment in the long-running A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, which sees Craven returning to the director's chair for the first time since the original installment and OG Nightmare final girl Heather Langenkamp returning, playing a semi-fictionalized version of herself. Several layers more complex than the premise initially suggests, New Nightmare brings the franchise back to its roots, examining childhood trauma and ideation and offering thoughtful considerations about Craven's legacy as a storyteller and how his films have affected those who participate in bringing his nightmarish visions to life - a full two years before Craven's smash hit Scream would go on to mine similar thematic territory with its meta explorations of genre. We discuss the film's self-reflexive look at the Nightmare franchise, and how Craven attempts to ellicit new fears from purposefully identifiable rehashes of his work. Then, we discuss the film's surprisingly intricate exploration of Langenkamp as performer and icon - how the film reckons with audience expectations and seeks atonement for turning its star into curio for our own catharsis. Finally, we discuss reference, reflexivity, and homage and consider why Craven's self-quoting offers more than the empty nostaligia-laden iconography of so many current films.

Dave Dreher talks with iconic director Chuck Russell and the cast of WITCHBOARD: Madison Iseman, Aaron Domingues, and Charlie Tahan. Emily, her fiancé Christian, and a group of their friends are opening a café in New Orleans French Quarter, by refurbishing an old carriage house. But a darkness descends over Emily when she discovers the Witchboard, an ancient Wiccan pendulum board once used to summon spirits. Christen seeks help for Emily from occult expert Alexander Baptiste. But Baptiste has secrets of his own. A modern coven of White Witches, a masked ball at Baptiste's mansion, and the legacy of Naga Soth, the Queen of Witches are all part of a dangerous game that puts Emily's very soul at risk. Based on the 1987 VHS video store staple by Kevin Tenney, Russell and his team bring a new spin on the classic tale of why some things found in the woods should just be left there.

Do we have access to a catalogue of distinct identities or a single self that evolves over time?

Have you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Communist Party? This month, we're joined by director Jeremiah Kipp (Slapface, The Geechee Witch), to discuss the great red menace which must be extinguished by any means necessary! 1950s Americana is met with an existential threat in the form of shapeshifting aliens which mean to replace our way of life, our entire way of thinking, in the original INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1956), directed by Don Siegel. But is this threat really a metaphor for Communism, or is it meant to represent Senator Joseph McCarthy and the Red Scare? Perhaps the only thing we have to fear is fear itself, or at least that's somewhat the stance of our second film, THE BLOB (1988), directed by Chuck Russell, itself a remake of another 1950s Cold War metaphor. Of course, this is the 80s, and so Reagan is bound to come up a few times. From the early days of the Cold War to the final days, how has America's shifting views of the Soviet Union affected the media we create? Is the greater threat an invading force, or is the call coming from inside the house?

It's an Oscar-nominated kid-friendly comic book movie, but a couple of those moments weren't for kids! And speaking of comic books, did you know the source material is much darker and more violent? Stay tuned for Part 3 coming soon.
In this episode, “The Invisible Dan” and “Monster Mike” go WAY BACK to about 3,000 B.C. to witness the rise of the legendary Scorpion King! Join them as they discuss the first Universal Monster spin-off, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson's debut as a leading man, the terrific practical effects, the horror roots of director Chuck Russell and co-star Kelly Hu, and why, despite leaving the monsters behind, The Scorpion King still succeeds as a pulpy, throwback, Conan the Barbarian rip-off by playing to everyone's strengths and not taking itself too seriously.

In today's episode, “one, two, Freddy's coming for you” in Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) and Chuck Russell's A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987). In the original 1984 release, a group of teens attempt to outsmart Freddy Krueger, a supernatural killer who stalks them in their dreams. In the 1987 sequel, a band of institutionalized teens attempt to defeat Krueger and save the life of an innocent by intentionally entering Dreamland together to dire consequences. Aided by one of the most famous monsters in horror film canon, the films are considered essential viewing for fans of the slasher film, but is there more to this franchise than gore and Freddy's razor sharp wit? We're breaking it all down today with spoilers so stay tuned. Recommended Reading Christensen, Kyle.

Time for a bit of a hawt take, as we take a look at the single most popular installment of the 'Nightmare' franchise and suggest that maybe, just maybe, taking the single bleakest script Wes Craven ever wrote and crashing it straight into Chuck Russell's "spooky carnival ride" aesthetic - then adding a helping of sexual assault - might have produced something that's a little bit of a trainwreck. Agree? Disagree? Listen to the podcast and find out where we're getting it from!

Or, the Death of Cinema podcast Nicole Veneto joins from Boston to discuss Alex Winter and Tom Stern's irreverent, gag-filled 1993 monster comedy 'Freaked'. The film is a genuine cult classic that was greelit, following the success of the Bill & Ted films and Winter and Stern's short-lived MTV program 'Idiot Box', with an impressive $12 million budget and then quickly killed by 20th Century Fox after a change in management. We discuss the film's unique cacophony of styles, taking inspiration from a number of cultural objects including Zucker Brothers comedies, punk rock legends Butthole Surfers, classic beach party films, and The Evil Dead movies. Then we praise the legendary team of practical special effects and makeup artists (including veterans of John Carpenter films like 'Big Trouble in Little China' and Chuck Russell's classic 1988 remake of 'The Blob') who brought the hilarious cast of freaks to life. Finally, we detail the executive decisions that very nearly railroaded 'Freaked' out of existence, and eulogize the brief moment in time when big studio money was willing to gamble on spectacular, impractical filmmaking and craft.

Staring Heather Langenkamp, Patricia Arquette, Craig Wasson, and Robert Englund.
On this S&A Halloween Episode Lindsay is joined by Podcaster Andrew Shaw for a Gate Way Horror Double of sorts. Though this may give your kids trauma down the line. It's a Double of Dan Attais' Silver Bullet (1985) & Chuck Russell's The Bob - Blub (1988). This is a Double of that special kind of Stephen King Small Town that we all wanted to go to as kids, so we could fight, or hang with the Monsters. Depending on your preference. Even as adults we still want to go to these towns. Listen to Schlock & Awe on your favourite Podcast App
