Bad Cheese orientiert sich an dem 20er-Jahre “Steamboat Willie” Zeichentrickfilm und mischt diesen mit einem eher psychologischen Horrortrip. Wir spielen eine Maus, die Mutter weg, müssen wir verschiedene Hausaufgaben erledigen. Während das Gameplay technisch absolut nicht überzeugt, da die Aufgaben aus nicht mehr als Schlagen und Schießen bestehen, überzeugt zumindest etwas der verstörende Horror. Ein Gefühl von Unbehagen kommt auf, wenn man sich durch das Haus schlägt und die Sounds, die ebenso passend zum Stil sind, auf einen einprasseln. Prinzipiell ist es eine kurze einmalige Erfahrung, die man als Horror-Fan zumindest machen kann, wer hier aber interessantes Gameplay erwartet, wird massiv enttäuscht sein.

As cloaked, cult-like figures surround the building, the patients and staff inside start to turn ravenously insane. Trying to protect the survivors, Carter leads them into the depths of the hospital where they discover a gateway to immense evil.Let's open up the Horrorbox and find out what's inside!  Time Stamps:Intro - 01:29There is a Hell.

As most of us are preparing for the most wonderful time of the year (the Jack-o'-lantern one…not the Bells and Holly one), Spill Your Guts is taking this episode to the day of romance and cupid and dead flowers wrapped up nicely. And there is no horror film more associated with Valentine's Day than “My Bloody Valentine”. This 1981 classic has become seminal title in the pantheon of horror and did for Valentine's Day what John Carpenter's enduring masterpiece “Halloween” and “Friday the 13th” did for the respective dates. My Bloody Valentine has endured the test of time and become regular viewing every Valentine's Day for horror fans. It's also Quentin Tarantino's favorite slasher film. High praise…and well deserved. However, the film faced more than its share of challenges in both production and release and was considered a flop (if it was considered at all). There's a long and compelling story to how “My Bloody Valentine” became the classic it is today with action figures, comics, a novel adaptation and even a board game. Joining me to delve into the film as well as his career as a real journeyman filmmaker is My Bloody Valentine's masterful director, George Mihalka. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

From slashers to creature features, Chris Leto's work proves that indie cinema is alive, bloody, and thriving. If you're a fan of slasher movies, indie horror, grindhouse films, or cult cinema, this interview is packed with insights you won't want to miss.

Things didn't go quite as planned this week on Mostly Horror, but sometimes that makes for the most interesting conversations. With our guest lineup shifting last minute, we start by unpacking the shocking news of Charlie Kirk's assassination, reflecting on his controversial career, the polarizing reactions online, and the bigger cultural questions moments like this stir up. From there, we rewind to one of our earliest interviews with Goosebumps illustrator Tim Jacobus, a creative influence who shaped our love of horror from the start. It's an unusual mix of current events and horror nostalgia, but it all comes together as a reminder of why we explore the dark, the strange, and the unforgettable in every episode.

Welcome back to Spill Your Guts! I'm your host, Kevin Lane. We took some time over the summer to recalibrate and get ahead of creating a hell of a lineup for all our listeners. We've been doing Spill Your Guts for over 80 episodes now, and I can safely say that this is going to be some of our best. We are also doing a literary series with the biggest authors in horror fiction. It's a very exciting time for horror readers, as there are so many brilliant and diverse authors out there, creating stories that are reshaping the genre and what we've come to expect.This episode features one such author. Christopher Golden is a New York Times bestselling author and Bram Stoker Award winner, and he's become a household name in horror fiction with masterfully written novels such as "Snowblind", "Ararat", "Road of Bones", "All Hallows", and "The Nightbirds", to name a few.His work moves like a runaway train of terror and atmosphere that has caused me to read most of them in one sitting. There are few authors working that can compete with Christopher in creating the pace and atmosphere that he does. We also discuss his new anthology book, which he co-edited with Brian Keene, based in the world of Stephen King's iconic "The Stand", of which King himself gave the book his blessing. It's a must-have book for King fans, and really anyone who loves horror. It features stories from a long list of the greatest writers working in the genre today. The book is called "The End of the World as we know it", and is available now. So let's explore the worlds of frosty ghosts, spectral savage wolves, the true darkness of Halloween, and the scariest witches I have ever encountered in the history of horror.

Daniel Gonzalez wanted fame — but not on stage or screen. Obsessed with horror films like Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street, Gonzalez spiralled into drug abuse, mental illness, and violent fantasies that turned him into one of Britain's most notorious killers. In this episode of Blood Ties, Geoffrey and Molly Wansell explore the troubled childhood, psychiatric struggles, and chilling crimes of the so-called 'Freddy Krueger Killer'.We examine how failures in the mental health system allowed his descent into violence — and what his case reveals about obsession, untreated psychosis, and the making of a murderer.CREDITS: Presenters: Geoffrey and Molly WansellProducer: Peter Shevlin https://pod60.com/Artwork: George LeighMusic: Dan WansellCONTACT: Twitter: @BloodTies_PodInstagram: bloodties_podEmail: bloodties.podcast@gmail.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bloodtiespodcast247Support: patreon.com/bloodtiespodcast Hosted on Acast.

Joshua Lastine is an entertainment attorney and the founder of Lastine Entertainment Law, representing actors, directors, writers, producers and more. A former in-house lawyer at Lionsgate and ViacomCBS, he has worked on high-profile projects such as Halloween (2018) and The Blackening, as well as massive Netflix productions, indie films, and everything in between.Recognized by Variety as a Hollywood Deal Maker, Joshua also serves as an adjunct lecturer in Entertainment Business Law at The Los Angeles Film School.A lifelong horror fan with a collection of VHS, DVDs, and Blu-rays, Josh brings deep genre knowledge to his legal practice, helping creators navigate contract pitfalls, IP disputes, distribution hurdles, and budget constraints. Since founding Lastine Entertainment Law in 2021, he has been dedicated to empowering artists and safeguarding their creative rights while bridging the worlds of horror fandom and Hollywood deal-making.In this conversation, Josh breaks down the legal and contractual realities that every filmmaker needs to understand, from optioning IP and attaching talent to navigating distribution deals and protecting your rights. He also shares practical advice on unions, strikes, and why legal literacy is one of the most empowering tools a creative can have.On today's episode of The Nick Taylor Horror Show, here, without further ado, is Joshua Lastine.Key TakeawaysBuild your legal relationship early.Joshua's first counsel is simple. Do not wait for a contract to land in your inbox. Grab coffee with an entertainment lawyer, establish rapport, and get them looped in before deals apply pressure. He even outlines a smart starter plan for indies: raise an initial 25K for a line producer, budget, legal, and accounting, so chain of title and financing agreements are set before momentum stalls.Know your money lanes.He breaks down the big buckets: equity, debt, tax credits, and crowdfunding. Debt requires careful counsel. Equity means real finance docs and a clean LLC structure. Crowdfunding can be powerful when paired with creative perks, like the Eli Roth “we will kill you on screen” idea that trades access for cash.Investors buy more than ROI.For many backers, the value is experience and access: a set visit, a cameo for a family member, festival credentials. Pitch decks and sizzles matter, but so do relationships, attachments, and a clear sense of your project's look and tone in seconds. Package visually and socially, not just financially.Product placement is real money.Joshua points to Smile weaving Voss Water into its story as a character beat, likely putting real cash onto the screen. He and Nick also cite Weapons using Liquid Death cans in a 7-Eleven fight scene. The takeaway: brands can offset costs or boost perceived scale if you integrate them thoughtfully and on-brand.Keep chain of title airtight.Lawyers can't help if ownership is murky. Joshua stresses that rights must flow cleanly from screenplay to delivery, or distributors and E&O carriers will balk. This is the “heavy lifting” that protects your sale, your investors, and your future library value.Use AI and templates with judgment.For tiny, low-risk projects, basic templates or AI can help you start. The moment budgets rise, name talent appears, or you touch debt and distribution, you need a lawyer shepherding the paperwork and negotiating terms. That is the difference between scrappy and exposed.Understand franchise rights before you touch legacy IP.He...
