They say that everybody has two professions: whatever they do for a living, plus being a film critic. For sixty years, Leonard Maltin has happily combined both. Starting when he was 13, Maltin turned a childhood love of movies into a career as a film historian, writer, interviewer, teacher, and one of the country's most visible and beloved movie reviewers. For thirty years he was the film expert on TV's long-running Entertainment Tonight. He has written, edited, or contributed to scores of books and videos including the seminal histories The Little Rascals: The Life and Times of Our Gang, The Great Movie Shorts, The Disney Films, The Art of the Cinematographer, and the highly collectible Walt Disney Treasures DVD series. Most visibly, from 1969 to 2015 he published the essential Leonard Maltin's Movie and Video Guide Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Today, Sean and Sarah welcome Author, YouTuber, Journalist, Speaker, Podcaster, Film Critic and Baptist Minister, Peter Laws to discuss his upcoming book 'The Frighteners: Why We Love Monsters, Ghosts, Death and Gore'. The book will be published on 9th October 2025. 'The Frighteners' finds Peter on a paranormal pilgrimage to seek out what is it that draws people to both the dark and macabre, but also to the light and faith.With a healthy dose of dark-humour including threatening a zombie in a wheelchair with a shotgun, enticing a werewolf with peppered steaks from a Sainsbury's Local, to a festival which Peter described as a sort-of meta-physical Come Dine With Me, this thought-provoking book is one not to be missed. When I say thought-provoking, mainly death if we're honest but we'll get into that.As the book blurb proclaims: 'Grab your crucifixes, pack the silver bullets, and join the Sinister Minister on his romp into our morbid curiosities!'Sean, Sarah and Peter share their own ghost 'experiences'.Guest Links:-Peter Laws Website: https://www.peterlaws.co.uk/-Into The Fog with Peter Laws: https://www.youtube.com/@IntoTheFog-Creepy Cove Community Church Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/3238cjOfCXGgXHI3SKI4ka-Uncanny: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0010x7cAcknowledgments: Thank You To Peter, Elle-Jay from Icon Books and Paul Bavill from the 'History Rage' podcast.Chapters:0:08 Welcome to Review It Yourself1:06 Literary Exploration of the Macabre2:25 Introducing Pleasure a.k.a.
