Amy speaks with the Executive Director & Co-Founder of Midsummer Scream David Markland about the upcoming Halloween & Horror Convention at the Marriott Long Beach Downtown.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Tony zoomed with legendary filmmaker Brian Yuzna—the mind behind Re‑Animator, Society, and some of the wildest practical‑effects nightmares ever put on screen. Now he's turning his attention to a new project: Tales of Blood Island, a tropical fever dream blending zombies, voodoo, and the vibrant, uncanny world of Tiki Horror. From pulp comics to Polynesian mythology to mid‑century Tiki culture, Yuzna breaks down how this new anthology taps into a corner of horror that's rarely explored but instantly evocative. Brian Yuzna's Vision — Building a New Island of Horror Yuzna shares how Tales of Blood Island draws from: Classic zombie cinema and Caribbean voodoo folklore Tiki‑bar aesthetics, from carved idols to neon‑lit escapism 1960s tropical horror films, including The Brides of Blood Island The pulpy, transgressive tone of EC Comics and drive‑in creature features He talks about why the Tiki aesthetic—bright, playful, and nostalgic—becomes even more unsettling when corrupted by ritual, rot, and the supernatural. Tiki Horror — A Genre Mashup with Teeth We explore how “Tiki Horror” functions as a hybrid genre, mixing: Tropical island settings with lurking supernatural forces Tiki monster culture, from Kaiju‑adjacent beasts to cursed island guardians Haunted Tiki bars, echoing real‑world attractions like Black Lagoon or Midsummer Scream's island‑themed haunts Beach‑party innocence twisted into ritualistic dread Yuzna explains why this blend works: the clash between paradise and terror creates instant tension. Zombies & Voodoo — Returning to the Roots Yuzna digs into the cultural and cinematic history behind the project's undead elements: The difference between voodoo‑driven zombies and modern infection‑based ones How ritual, belief, and folklore shape the tone of the anthology Why the island setting allows for both intimate horror and large‑scale spectacle Crafting the Anthology — Tales Told in Blood and Bamboo He breaks down the structure of Tales of Blood Island: Standalone stories unified by the island's mythology A rotating cast of characters encountering curses, creatures, and colonial ghosts Practical effects, stylized visuals, and a comic‑book sensibility The tonal balance between camp, terror, and tropical surrealism SAVE 17% ON PLUS

The promos for Terrifier 3 claim that Art the Clown is "practically as much of a horror icon as Michael, Jason, and Freddy," and based on what Monica and Sydney saw at Midsummer Scream, that just might be true. We had to check it out for ourselves — which is why we're kicking off Sydneypalooza by throwing it back to Terrifier (2016). This movie may not have marked Art's original debut (that honor goes to All Hallows' Eve), but it was his first solo flick and David Howard Thornton's first turn in the role. It's also batshit crazy, and we're breaking it all down on Sydney's birthday episode of Spooky Tuesday.References:https://youtu.be/QIprVbrIwKk?si=AmhFPUVW7TZTJQ5zhttps://www.thedailybeast.com/terrifier-actress-on-the-nude-death-scene-that-made-horror-movie-history
