The camera doesn't lie! Or does it? This week, Bri and guest filmmaker Michelle Iannantuono (director of Livescream and Fame Fatale) go through their reasons why Cozi needs to see the 2018 independent found-footage horror/mystery film Butterfly Kisses. Written, directed, and edited by filmmaker Erik Kristopher Myers, this well-crafted film takes a deep dive into the legend of Peeping Tom, the found footage genre, and the mind of Gavin York, a filmmaker willing to do whatever it takes to prove that Peeping Tom is real. Recommendations: Cozi - The Finnish body-horror film Hatching (2022) Bri - Southern Utah's slot canyons (Buckskin Gulch) Michelle - The feature-length anime Pompo: The Cinephile (2021) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/youneedtoseethis/support

We begin on somber note, with the passing of friend and contributor Erik Kristopher Myers, who will be greatly missed. Then we take a close look at cards, and how they have been used to foretell, trick, amaze, deceive, and swindle. Learn how racism was "in the cards" for fortune tellers in the early 20th century, and how Tarot seems to be ancient and exotic but really isn't. We discuss the rise and fall of Zener cards to "prove" ESP, and how quickly people adapted playing cards to be instruments of trickery. Plus, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle makes multiple appearances as we weave our way through card history!

Have you heard of Peeping Tom? Or maybe the Blink Man? Legend has it that once you make "eye" contact and he appears, you can never blink again. Or your last touch will be the itch of his butterfly kisses before you die! Or maybe not. The movie based on the "legend", Butterfly Kisses, is a found footage movie gem that completely wraps you up in the plot. The camera doesn't lie... but does it? Listen as we interview the writer/director of this feature, as well as his either film Roulette, Erik Kristopher Myers!! We again appreciate him so much for coming on the show!!

Special guest Erik Kristopher Myers joins the Skeptical Help Bar this week. We dive into some well-known horror movie "curses" and myths, separating the rumors from what really went on. Erik Kristopher Myers (ekm) is a writer and filmmaker, whose 2013 movie Roulette took home numerous festival trophies and received praise from critics. His latest feature, Butterfly Kisses, brings his interest in folklore, urban legends, and skeptical inquiry to the screen. Released in October 2018, Butterfly Kisses shot to the top of the Amazon.com charts for New Release Fantasy, and was featured on both CBS and Fox News, while scoring rave reviews from high-profile Horror websites. Myers has also won numerous awards for screenwriting and editing for his collaboration with other independent filmmakers. He has been a producer for XM Satellite Radio and a reporter for WTOP News; he's written film criticism for The Dagger and Ain’t it Cool News, chiefly on the subjects of genre theory and franchise history; he is a contributor to the Squaring the Strange podcast; and he sits on the Board of Directors for the Howard County Autism Society. Plus, he has a rockin' Dad Bod.

This week we get together again with Erik Kristopher Myers, and William Hopkins to talk about Hammer Horror films.   Here is a right up with some links provided by William Hopkins.   Best of Hammer Horror and related films...   Despite their lavish look and many positive qualities, Hammer's horror films were made as "programmers" – quickly and cheaply made entertainment product that was almost always released as part of a double bill. So the films should be viewed and judged in that light.   The Curse of Frankenstein (1957): The first in Hammer's Frankenstein series. An enormously successful (and controversial) film in its day – and it still holds up very well even now. You can buy or rent the film on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/FCNrxjaVf2M The Horror of Dracula (1958): The first in Hammer's Dracula series. Inventive script by Jimmy Sangster; clever direction by Hammer's best director, Terence Fisher; beautiful cinematography, sets, costumes. And a rousing, memorable climax that Hammer never topped. One of the top five Dracula adaptations. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/atQr_Eac11k The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958): The second in Hammer's Frankenstein series. A smart, well-crafted follow-up to the first film. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/IkXx3MeZNvU Brides of Dracula (1960): The second in Hammer's Dracula series. A lavish, colorful, fast-paced gothic melodrama that doesn't suffer at all from the absence of Dracula himself. A favorite of mine; I think it's one of Hammer's best. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/NEQHTxU63ls The Evil of Frankenstein: (1964): The first of the Hammer Frankenstein films to be produced in cooperation with Universal (who made the original Frankenstein in 1931). With an infusion of cash from Universal, this is one of most visually impressive of Hammer's Frankenstein films, with great sets that recall the Universal original. But the monster is one of the weakest of the Hammer series and the script is not up to par. Not one of Hammer's best but still enjoyable. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/cTyJWBF22zA Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966): Christopher Lee returns to the role of Dracula - though he has no lines and is only briefly onscreen - in the third film in Hammer's series. Very well produced, and for once a genuinely suspenseful and even scary Dracula film.  Frankenstein Created Woman (1967): An off-beat entry in Hammer's Frankenstein series. Not the best of the series, but surprisingly well-done and enjoyable.      Dracula Has Risen From the Grave (1968): Fourth in the Hammer Dracula series, with Christopher Lee returning in the role of the Count. Entertaining, smart, fast-paced. Lee is only on screen briefly and has little dialog, but his snarling, red-eyed, demonic appearance in this film (and it's follow-up) are probably the reason he came to be thought of, by a generation of film fans, as the ultimate screen Dracula. Apparently, at the time this was Hammer's highest grossing film. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/s9gGa4t4sHc Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970): Christopher Lee had determined not to play Dracula again, so Hammer cast Ralph Bates as his replacement for this film. (Also in 1970, Bates briefly replaced Peter Cushing in Hammer's Frankenstein series.) But at the last minute Hammer managed to change Lee's mind, so here he is again - with Bates shifted over to the role of Dracula's would-be acolyte. Beautifully shot, fun, solid Hammer entertainment, though not the best of the Dracula films. One of two (!) Dracula films Hammer released in 1970. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/VjoPIXZW09Q Scars of Dracula (1970): Christopher Lee is back again in one of the weaker entries in the Dracula series. Handsomely produced and not devoid of entertainment value, but it often feels tired and tedious, with occasional bursts of unnecessarily brutal violence. Lee, though, has more screen time and dialog in this entry than any of the other Dracula films he did for Hammer. After this one, Warner Brothers, which was financing and distributing Hammer's films in the US, insisted they bring the Dracula character into the modern world, so this is the last "period piece" Hammer Dracula film in which Lee played the Count. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ZMbH-KyHsXs Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1970): One of the best of the Hammer Frankenstein series. Fast-paced, beautifully shot and performed, with a smart, inventive script. A favorite of mine. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/cI-fG0Ov2Pc The Horror of Frankenstein (1970): Widely viewed as a misstep when it was released, this is Hammer's attempt at a parody of their own films. (Possibly, a reaction to the popularity of Andy Warhol's Frankenstein and Roman Polanski's Fearless Vampire Killers, which were both open and unabashed homage/parodies of the Hammer films.)  I think Ralph Bates is a worthy stand-in for Peter Cushing and I think the film is smart and funny,  though it clearly is not the best of the Hammer Frankensteins. Incidentally, that's David Prowse as the monster. He would go on to play Darth Vadar in Star Wars. He's wearing a significantly skimpier costume here. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/yU_D11OlNSs Dracula A.D. 1972 (1972): First of two Hammer Dracula films set in the 1970s. This is the film Marvel comics appears to be imitating with its Tombs of Dracula books. The first fifteen minutes of the film, which appear to be more inspired by A Clockwork Orange than anything else, are idiotic and annoying, but the film as a whole is an example of the kind of colorful, dynamic genre storytelling that Hammer excelled at. (Even at this late stage.) Peter Cushing gives a master class in the use of cigarettes and other props in screen acting. Sexy, beautiful, Caroline Munro also makes an appearance here. She would go on to appear in Hammer's Captain Kronos, Vampire Hunter, as well as the Bond film, The Spy Who Loved Me, and Ray Harryhausen's Sinbad film, The Golden Voyage of Sinbad. Dracula A.D. 1972 is apparently a favorite of Tim Burton. The musical score, which was derided as being wildly inappropriate for a Dracula film when the film was first released, has now developed a cult following, as has the film itself. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/AUu7bUIUGNU The Satanic Rites of Dracula (1974): The last appearance of Christopher Lee as Dracula in a Hammer film. And the last time Lee would play Dracula to Cushing's Van Helsing. (Cushing would go on to play Van Helsing in one more Hammer Dracula film, Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires.) This film's story follows directly from the story of the previous film, which is unusual for Hammer. (They usually didn't stress perfect continuity in their Dracula or Frankenstein series. ) I think I prefer this one to Dracula A.D. 1972, but both are fun, colorful and reasonably fast-paced, though the stories in both films are illogical and border on the silly. One aspect of The Satanic Rites of Dracula inspired a key plot point in my film, Sleepless Nights. Joanna Lumley, who would go on to achieve fame in the popular Brit comedy show, Absolutely Fabulous, plays Van Helsing's daughter here. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/J2H1ZO0gups Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell (1974): A return to form for the final entry in the Hammer Frankenstein series. After the commercial and critical failure of the series' attempted reboot, Horror of Frankenstein, Ralph Bates is out and Peter Cushing is back as Baron Frankenstein. This is a smart, well-crafted finale for the series, though it's an unusually grim and bleak film for the series, and the monster (once again played by David Prowse) is one of the more absurd iterations of the monster. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/_Lb4nFlf2Rw The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires (1974): The last of the Hammer Dracula series, with Peter Cushing back for a final turn as Van Helsing. This unusual mash-up of two exploitation film genres (decades before From Dusk Till Dawn) was the result of a co-producing deal between Hammer and Sir Run Run Shaw, the legendary Hong Kong film producer. Surprisingly well-done and entertaining, especially if you're a kung fu film fan. The appearance of John Forbes-Robinson as Dracula at the film's climax is its most disappointing moment. Heavily made up and speaking in a ridiculously ominous voice, he looks less like Christopher Lee's Dracula and more like someone made up for Halloween trick-or-treating. The film struggled to find distribution in the US, as was the case with Satanic Rites of Dracula. Both were eventually re-cut, retitled and dumped on the market by "Dynamite Films," an exploitation film distributor. After Dynamite Films went out of business, both Satanic Rites and 7 Golden Vampires entered into the public domain, a status they have been rescued from by Warner, which has asserted its copyright and recently released Blu-ray editions of the films. Years later, Sir Run Run Shaw would also co-produce Blade Runner. Hammer would make just two more films after Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires: To the Devil, A Daughter, with Christopher Lee and Richard Widmark, and a remake of Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes, with Elliot Gould and Cybil Shepard. Watch FOR FREE on YouTube: https://youtu.be/eA_L4L0qrAs Captain Kronos, Vampire Hunter (1974): This quirky, off-beat Hammer vampire film was directed by Brian Clemens, who wrote and produced The Avengers, for British TV. (He's responsible for casting Diana Rigg as Mrs. Peel.) The film shows the influence of the Sergio Leone spaghetti western films and may itself have served as an influence on Marvel's comic and film series character, Blade. Interesting and memorable.  Watch FOR FREE on Hammer's Official YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/RsWAVsRefSg Quatermass & the Pit (1967): One of Hammer's best, based on Nigel Kneale's groundbreaking British TV serial. Science fiction with supernatural horror overtones. Loaded with great ideas. Echoes of this film can be seen in The X-Files among other TV series and films. Well performed and shot.  A favorite of mine.  The Mummy (1959): While Hammer's first two big hits, Curse of Frankenstein and Horror of Dracula, were ostensibly adaptations of novels in the public domain and not sequels or remakes of Universal's classic horror films from the 30s, the studio's great success led to collaborations with Universal, such as Evil of Frankenstein, and licensing arrangements that allowed them to remake Universal's copyrighted material. Universal's 1932 film, The Mummy, was not based on a novel in the public domain, it was an original screenplay that led to a franchise that has so far resulted in ten movies from 1932 to 2017, so Universal unquestionably owned the copyright to the story and characters, and when Hammer decided to add The Mummy to their roster of monsters, they needed a licensing arrangement with Universal. They got one, which allowed them to use characters and plot points not just from Universal's first Mummy film, but from several of its sequels. In return Universal got the distribution rights to the film, which was so successful in its original release that Hammer ended up cranking out three sequels, the last one hitting the screens in 1971. I have to admit that while I revere the 1932 Universal original, I was never a fan of any of the Universal Mummy sequels, which I considered tedious, and so the 1959 production of The Mummy was one Hammer film I avoided, never seeing it as a child, teenager or young adult. In fact, I only saw it for the first time about two years ago. I sought it out, finally, because I had begun to develop a special appreciation for the work of director Terence Fisher. I'm glad I did, because it's definitely in the front rank of Hammer films. It has the lavish, richly colorful look that was by then a hallmark of Hammer productions; it's smart, well-paced, tightly scripted and has a surprisingly nuanced performance, by Christopher Lee, of the title character. In his portrayal of the creature in Curse of Frankenstein and the Count in Horror of Dracula, Lee showed that even when he had little or no dialog, he could bring a degree of depth to monster characters through physicality alone, and he does the same here. He's very much the rampaging monster at times, but his eyes and his body language create an impression of a mummy that has thoughts, emotions and dimensions to its personality that aren't even hinted at in the Universal sequels or in Hammer's own sequels. (In two of Hammer's Mummy movies, the mummy's face is hidden behind bandages, so no emoting is necessary.) Buy or rent The Mummy (1959) on YouTube: https://youtu.be/uojNB-SbDEo The Devil Rides Out (1968): This may be my favorite Hammer film. It's another Terence Fisher film, and another with Christopher Lee in the lead. It's based on a terrible novel by a terrible writer, Dennis Wheatley, but the screenwriter, Richard Matheson (of I Am Legend, Duel, Hell House and Twilight Zone fame) does a terrific job of finding all that is exciting, suspenseful and entertaining in the novel, while weeding out most of the dumb, racist, reactionary stuff Wheatley was famous for. (While he's almost entirely forgotten today, and his books are largely out of print, he was, for a time, one of the best selling authors in the English language.) Some of the story ideas in The Devil Rides Out made their way into my story for Demon Resurrection. My villain, Toth, is essentially Mocata, the villainous cult leader played with such elan by the great Charles Gray. In fact, Demon Resurrection could be seen as one half The Devil Rides Out, and one half Night of the Living Dead. For once, Lee has an enormous amount of dialog, and he delivers it with speed and style, punctuating each line with flourishes of his hands and eyebrows. One could say this is "hand and eyebrow acting" at its most entertaining. The rest of the cast is equally good, with Grey giving the screen one of its most urbane villains. (He would later bring his wit and style to the role of Blofeld in the Bond film, Diamonds are Forever.) The film was not a big hit for Hammer when it came out. 1968 was the year of Rosemary's Baby and perhaps critics and audiences found The Devil Rides Out a bit too old-fashioned. But I love it, for all its absurdities and melodramatic excesses. The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959): The same year Hammer's first Mummy movie came out, Hammer released its one and only Sherlock Holmes adaptation. Seeking to capitalize on their newfound fame as purveyors of horror product, they naturally turned to the Holmes adventure that had the most pronounced supernatural overtones, The Hound of the Baskervilles. Their biggest star, Peter Cushing was a natural choice to play Holmes, and he does so with great wit, style and energy. (He would go on to play Holmes in a BBC series in 1965.) Their other biggest star, Christopher Lee got a lesser role in the film, not as Watson but instead as Sir Henry Baskerville, the film's romantic lead. (He'd go on to play Holmes in a 1962 German film, with Terence Fisher directing, and in two leaden American TV movies in the early 90s.) I've always thought of the Universal 1939 version of this story, with Basil Rathbone, as the definitive film version, but I've always enjoyed this one as well. Cushing is in the upper tier of actors who have played the character, and the film itself, like most of the best Hammer films, is colorful, fast moving and stylish. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/wMwMGhZBAJU The Lost Continent (1968): The same year Hammer released The Devil Rides Out, it also released this film adaptation of another Dennis Wheatley novel. This one is more adventure than horror, and it has what must be the wackiest plot of any Hammer film, involving the crew and passengers of a tramp steamer loaded with explosive cargo, getting lost in the Sargasso Sea and discovering a secret civilization made up of pirates and the descendents of Spanish Conquistadors. Oh, and there's giant lobsters and killer seaweed to deal with as well. It's a blast. There are several more interesting and entertaining Hammer films that are worth catching, but if you see only those I've mentioned in this email, you'll have a pretty good overview of the company's output. For what it's worth, my favorites are: 1.) The Devil Rides Out 2.) Quatermass and the Pit 3.) Brides of Dracula 4.) Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed 5.) Horror of Dracula 6.) Curse of Frankenstein Lee and Cushing also appeared in a number of films for Hammer's chief competitor during the 50s, 60s & 70s: Amicus Films. Amicus is probably best known for producing the first film adaptations of the EC horror comics, Tales from the Crypt and The Vault of Horror. Their specialty was the portmanteau or anthology film – collections of several short horror stories, often by writers like Robert Bloch, with a wrap-around story holding it all together. Their EC adaptations are great fun (and were big hits in their day) and the company turned out a number of other entertaining productions including three Edgar Rice Burroughs adaptations in the 70s, The Land that Time Forgot, The People That Time Forgot and At the Earth's Core. One has to have a pretty high tolerance for men in rubber dinosaur suits to enjoy these films, but I have fond memories of them from seeing them in local theaters when they were first released. (Hammer also made a couple of dinosaur films, one of which, One Million Years, BC, was among their biggest hits in the 1960s, and made a star of Raquel Welch. The dinosaurs in that film, however, are the work of the great Ray Harryhausen, so they're of a higher order of quality than the Amicus efforts, which are perhaps superior to the Japanese monster films, but probably look pretty silly to modern, post-Jurassic Park audiences.) If, after sampling Hammer's offerings, you'd like to venture into Amicus territory, let me know and I'll send you a list of links to their best films. For now though, I'll just leave you with one Amicus title, their first film, produced before they'd even settled on their company name: Horror Hotel, aka The City of the Dead (1960), is a wonderfully atmospheric and effective tale of witches and occultism starring Christopher Lee. It's well worth checking out. It can be viewed FREE on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/W7As-qun8MI   And finally, there's Horror Express (1972), one of the great pairings of Hammer stars Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, but ironically not a Hammer film. It's a beautifully produced science-fiction/horror piece that gives us an idea of what Murder on the Orient Express might've been like if it had been written by Lovecraft. I saw this in the theater when it first came out and it's been a favorite of mine ever since, although I've had to settle for grainy washed-out prints in recent years. (Such is the fate of many films that fall into the public domain.)

In this episode they discuss some of their favorite horror movies to watch around Halloween ranging from American Werewolf in London to Suspiria.Make sure to also check out the movies by Erik Kristopher Myers - Butterfly Kisses and Roulette.Happy Halloween!

In this very special bonus episode of The Plotaholics Podcast, we sit down with writer/director/actor Erik Kristopher Myers to discuss his film, Butterfly Kisses.Butterfly Kisses is a high-concept found footage horror film that serves as much as a deconstruction of that genre as it does an example of the genre. Butterfly Kisses tells the story of Gavin Yorke, an aspiring filmmaker who finds a box of tapes containing the raw footage of a student film from years ago. The footage attempts to prove/ disprove the existence of local urban legend, Peeping Tom. Yorke becomes fixated on proving that the contents of the tape are legitimate, and he hires a documentary crew to follow his pursuits. What follows is a joy to watch--especially for fans of the slow-burn, found footage genre. Other random topics of discussion:Genre theory!The slow but undeniable death march of the cinematic experience through a wasteland rendered theater-less by a global pandemic.What the hell is Disney doing with Star Wars?Can anyone save us from a Mandalorian finale that includes a de-aged Mark Hamill?How will the death of the cinematic experience change our expectations for big brands like Marvel?How is being in a band like being the director of a film?Did you know that chick in Blair Witch almost ruined the whole thing because she was in national commercials for Steak 'n Shake?Sit back, relax, and let The Plotaholics introduce you to the Internet's angry step-grand-uncle who, as it turns out, is a very pleasant guy. Support the show (https://plotaholics.com)

BUTTERFLY KISSES by Erik Kristopher Myers 

Tonight's episode focuses on Butterfly Kisses (2018), a mockumentary/found footage mashup about a filmmaker's journey attempting to prove the authenticity of evidence of an urban legend, caught on the tapes of a couple of film students for their final project.  While most found footage films rely too much on the "found footage" gimmick as an attempt to draw the audience more into the story (without actually focusing on a story into which the audience wants to be drawn), director Erik Kristopher Myers wraps a mockumentary around the found footage to bring a lot more depth to the story, as well as play with (and poke holes in) the tropes of found footage films.  The deconstruction of the genre, as well as having most of the urban legend and found footage experts portrayed by real people actually in the field, results in a much more authentic feel that helps Butterfly Kisses be a truly entertaining film!

We are joined today by filmmaker and encyclopedia of weird film knowledge Erik Kristopher Myers. The notion of a "snuff film" is a strange convergence of conspiracy thinking, urban legend, moral panic, and actual film trivia, and we tour the genre--or, rather, things that have been assumed part of this elusive genre--from the Manson family to Faces of Death to an early found-footage gore fest called Cannibal Holocaust. Have any real snuff films ever been uncovered, or any black market snuff rings investigated? What are the factors that play into our belief in, and fear of, these monstrous commodifications of our mortality? And how have moviemakers and underground video producers capitalized on the idea?

Erik Kristopher Myers discusses the found footage sub-genre of horror films, and how his feature film, Butterfly Kisses, is different. His films, Roulette and Butterfly Kisses, are available on Amazon Prime and other streaming platforms as well as on DVD and Blu-Ray.

This week Ben and Celestia are joined by Erik Kristopher Myers to discuss a short history of a particular sort of easter egg: the dreaded "hidden subversive element" stuck into a kids' show or game, either by a perverse animator or a much more sinister coalition bent on corrupting the youth of America. Disney has made a cottage industry of hiding adult content in cartoons--whether real or simply rumored. And the rumors of subversive dangers in D&D both plagued and popularized the once-obscure RPG. From pareidolia to pranks to the people who wring hands over such dangers, we break down a long list of memorable legends.

The ever-busy Ilan Sheady (Uncle Frank Productions) and Mariam Draeger (Headcinema Productions)call in this week to talk about all the projects that they are working on, including the nearly monthly events with the rest of the Liverpool Horror Club and just wrapping up The Dead of Night Festival. They also talk about collaborating with Erik Kristopher Myers and team on the book based on the Blink Man from “Butterfly Kisses”. In the intro, Clark talks about his night with Marty Scorsese (and Randy). Russ handles all the recording duties in lieu of Randy’s absence and tells us about “Dead Don’t Die in Dallas” and his very lukewarm on the new Terminator.

This episode is a deep dive into some popular movies of the past few decades and their associated curses . . . some that are due to genuinely tragic or strangely coincidental circumstances, others that have been a bit cultivated by those wishing to market the movie or just tell a good yarn years after its release.

We take a long walk through a dozen or so arguments put forth by cryptid advocates, and see which ones (if any) make reasonable points. If you want a primer on how squatchers and lake-monster-hunters think, this is the episode. But beyond that, these ideas can be a jumping point into many other realms where skepticism should be applied, as we look at how eye-witness reliability, false dichotomies, cherry-picking, and other logic traps come into play. Special guests Sharon Hill and Erik Kristopher Myers.

This week we take a quick look at the Momo challenge's resurgence and surprisingly mainstream fall; then for our main segment we dive back into the strange, sketchy world of Ed & Lorraine Warren. These opportunistic and not-exactly-truthful storytellers are a big reason the modern horror genre looks the way it does. Erik Kristopher Myers joins us once more to go through some of their biggest "cases": The Demon Murder Case, Amityville, and the hauntings behind the more recent Conjuring movies. We look at what writers and other investigators who have worked with the Warrens had to say, and we examine the fallout that real-life people end up having to deal with as a result of the sensationalized tales of hauntings.

First we chat with Susan Gerbic about the recent buzz surrounding her soon-to-be published expose in the New York Times Magazine, describing the undercover stings she and Mark Edwards have pulled on several prominent psychics, cleverly showing their use of social media in hot readings. Then for our main topic we are joined by filmmaker Erik Kristopher Myers to discuss those original gangsters of ghosthunting, Ed and Lorraine Warren. In this first part (1 of 2), we talk about several of their prominent cases and discuss some background info and their modus operandi. 

Hi guys and welcome to a very special and bonus episode for FOUND FOOTAGE FEBRUARY with me, Crystal! I will be discussing BUTTERFLY KISSES written and directed by Erik Kristopher Myers. Twitter - @horrordaddysRUs Instagram - @HorrorNightsInPodcast YouTube - @HorrorNightInPodcast

Erik Kristopher Myers joins me on "Whatcha Playing" to talk about old school Sierra point and click adventure games! From King's Quest to Space Quest, Police Quest and the Holy Grail that is Leisure Suit Larry, we have fun reminiscing about these classics and how they capitvated so many of us.

Pascual is back, and we discuss a free-roaming placenta found in the Canadian woods last week. Then we bring in award-winning filmmaker Erik Kristopher Myers to discuss one of his favorite doom-sayers, Harold Camping. What convinced so many followers that End Times were upon us back in 2011? Erik discusses Camping's similarities to a cult leader as well as his business model, both of which contributed to his surprising reach. Ben entertains us with a few other apocalyptic prophesies from earlier days, and we examine the psychology of what happens to believers and prophets alike after these predictions fail.   

Nearly a year ago, we began talking about an unreleased gem of a film called "Butterfly Kisses". Get ready for this giant episode where we talk to all three stars of the film, and have them walks us through why Butterfly Kisses was shrouded in secrecy for so long and originally titled The Bigfoot of Baltimore.

Garrett and Dan are joined by director Erik Kristopher Myers to talk about his latest film, BUTTERFLY KISSES. In this spoiler-heavy discussion, Erik explains how creating his movie, which is equal parts faux-documentary, found footage horror, and metatextual narrative, required him to essentially make three different movies and find the real narrative within them. They dig deep on the behind the scenes creation of one of 2018's most inventive horror movies and then get Erik to use his scholarly love of horror to dissect the continuity of the FRIDAY THE 13th franchise. Garrett and Dan also discuss their Top 5 "movies within movies". You can find BUTTERFLY KISSES on Blu-Ray and streaming services now. twitter | Facebook | tumblr | iTunes

Award-winning filmmaker Erik Kristopher Myers joins Ben and Celestia to discuss Bigfoot on film. Starting with a quick analysis of the famous and most influential Bigfoot film, the Patterson-Gimlin footage, we tour the offerings since then, looking both at pop culture and the more serious efforts of a particularly litigious present-day Canadian Squatcher. Various Bigfoot and Yeti have flourished in all genres, popping up in horror films as well as children's entertainment. From the pendulous, hairy Bigfoot breasts seen in the grainy 1967 footage to the pendulous, hairy Bigfoot breasts drawn by R. Crumb a decade later, the creature has captured imaginations and resulted in some twisted depictions over the years.

This week, Ben and Celestia chat with Erik Kristopher Myers, writer, director, and actor in the new found-footage horror movie "Butterfly Kisses", featuring Ben and Pascual on the Blu-Ray audio commentary! 

This unlocked episode features my full conversation with Erik Kristopher Myers! Erik, in my opinion, is changing the game in the found footage horror genre with his new film “Butterfly Kisses”. It’s currently on the Film Festival circuit and has been doing well with audiences. I honestly feel like if you haven’t seen the film, you should hold off on this episode until you have because we do discuss spoilers after the first portion that aired for radio. I only say this, because it’s best to see this film with fresh eyes. So I’m giving fair warning. However, for those of us who have seen it, this interview will be a real treat as you’ll get to hear from the man himself about the things that went into creating this film. Don't forget the 2018 DC Black Film Festival call for entries is now open! The festival will be held August 16-18 at the Miracle Theatre in Southeast Washington, DC.

Happy Friday people! I've got an episode that's going to keep on giving this week. I have writer/director of The Rape of Recy Taylor, Nancy Buirski; John “Dr. Teeth” Tucker, Director of Pas Honteaux, and Erik Kristopher Myers, director of Butterfly Kisses. You can catch Butterfly Kisses tonight (as this releases March 23) at the Annapolis Film Festival, so pay attention to those details. These were great interviews from directors of fantastic films. But wait, there's more!  As podcast subscribers (thank you!) I'll be releasing the full unlocked versions of my interview with John and Erik as we spoke for longer than the radio would allow! So be sure to look out for those. Don't forget the 2018 DC Black Film Festival call for entries is now open! The festival will be held August 16-18 at the Miracle Theatre in Southeast Washington, DC.

This week we track down the last of the elusive Found Footage February guests and have a long chat with Butterfly Kisses (2017) writer/director Erik Kristopher Myers! But before Erik shares his Don Cheadle story, uncovers an Exorcist sequel, and we change the podcast name to the Bennigan's Boys, Clark tries to decide how he feels about the ending to Netflix's The Push, Randy shares Pavillion, an overlooked film by one of the show's favorite directors, and Lord Battle (Russell) quickly recaps the final Bigfoot Bonanza before wading into The Strangers: Prey at Night.
