Author Sam Rebelein returns to the podcast, this time to talk to Scotty about his upcoming collection of interlinked stories, "The Poorly Made and Other Things" (February 11, William Morrow Paperbacks), which are all set in the same fictional upstate New York county as his debut novel "Edenville" (2023, William Morrow). Sam and Scotty discuss his process in creating the ever-expanding "Rebel-verse," his influences from R.L. Stine to HBO's "The Leftovers," the horrific possibilities of "illogic" in fiction, what it means to tap into elemental fears as a horror writer, and more. Sam and Scotty also talk about the surprisingly nasty (and diabolically fun) 2019 anthology horror film ""The Mortuary Collection" (Shudder).

Today, we welcome Josh Forbes to the podcast, director of Destroy All Neighbors. This is a gleefully fun movie that feels as inventive as it is unhinged. It's the kind of movie that I'm feeling really good about seeing more of because it's completely original. This is Josh's second feature after his debut Contracted Phase 2 and I think he's really made a serious statement; the energy, attitude, fun and bonkers practical effects make this a very fun movie. The movie starred Jonah Ray with a very hilarious performance by Alex Winter and special effects by Bill Corso and Gabe Bartalos of Basket Case Fame. In this interview Josh gets into the making of Destroy All Neighbors from the conception of the idea, to his attachment as director, raising funds and more as well as the current state of cinema that enabled something this original to get made. Don't forget to check out Destroy all Neighbors, now streaming on Shudder, and in the meantime, please enjoy this conversation with Director, Josh Forbes. Take inventory of awesome things you have access to.This is a common one, take inventory of everything you have access to and fashion your movie out of that. Production value is so critical, and often so expensive. Maximize your movie by taking an inventory of what you have access to and writing your script around it. If you have a friend with a boat, that boat should be in your movie. A friend who owns a pig, in the case of Josh, a pig should be in the movie. This is exactly what Robert Rodriguez did with El Mariachi and Kevin Smith with Clerks.Use practical effects.Practical effects, never went away, but still somehow feel like they're having a second heyday which is awesome. The thing about practical effects is that the community is very very passionate and despite having a low budget, Josh was able to get some very heavy hitters like Bill Corso and Gabe Bartolos on board simply because the project looked fun. Similarly when he did Mortuary Collection, Ryan Spindell was able to get Tom Woodruff Jr. and Alec Gillis from ADI on board despite a relatively low budget because these guys wanted to be involved for the fun of it. The level of passion present in the practical effects community is something very awesome to tap into and it adds a level of production value to your movie that goes a long way in the horror community. Always pay as much as you can though.Push for your original singular vision.Destroy all Neighbors could not have been made by anybody else because it's so specific and singular to Josh, his sensibility, and the things he likes. Directors are supposed to direct movies that only they would be able to do. As a director, you need to understand own and articulate your own sensibility - yes, be open to feedback and collaboration, but your movies should feel specifically uniquely yours. These are the types of projects that inspire others and are worth getting excited about.SHOW NOTESMovies and TV ShowsOnyx the FortuitousFried BarryIdle HandsWhat We Do in the Shadows (both movie and TV show)Sin City (referenced for character design)Buffalo 66" (referenced for trailer music)MusicKing Crimson ("In the Court of the Crimson King")Gentle Giant ("Octopus" album)Straubs (band)Yes (band)Follow Josh Forbes at:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bestjoshforbes/IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1141362/?ref_=tt_ov_drThanks as always...

First of all, it is October... so Happy Halloween everyone! For last year's Halloween, we reviewed a movie that we think captures the Halloween spirit rather perfectly: THE MORTUARY COLLECTION. So this year, we're reviewing the cinematic adaptation of a book that does the same for the whole autumn season: SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES (1983)! Since this is an adaptation of material we've all read and loved here at the pod, we're doing this review a little differently: we'll discuss the original novel a bit (and Ray Bradbury as a whole) before moving onto the movie. For a work that has influenced the lives of so many readers, it's so appropriate that we're joined by a special guest whose work has shaped the lives of our hosts: J.M. DeMatteis (Moonshadow, Justice League International, Kraven's Last Hunt and much much more)! We've mentioned his work on the pod before, but today Mr. DeMatteis is here to tell us about his new supernatural novella (THE EXCAVATOR) and the Kickstarter for THE DEMULTIVERSE, which will launch with four new first issues! We can't overstate how delightful it was to chat Ray Bradbury with Mr. DeMatteis, and we really hope everyone enjoys the episode. After you've listened to the episode, check out these links for more details on THE DEMULTIVERSE: https://spellboundcomics.com/ https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/spellboundcomics/surprise-four-secret-comics-by-jm-dematteis-demultiverse The novella THE EXCAVATOR is currently available in both paperback and ebook formats courtesy of NeoText.

Guys, we got ADAM FUCKIN' GREEN ON THE SHOW TODAY!! Adam is a guy who needs no introduction; the man behind Holliston, Frozen, Spiral, Digging up the Marrow, and the beloved Hatchet series, Adam is a household name in annals of horror history and a downright awesome human being. I'm sure you already listen to his podcast The Movie Crypt, but if you don't, I highly recommend you do. Ok, this episode is amazing and clearly one of the best we've ever done. Adam slayed this interview and went above and beyond and completely over-delivered on the advice front. He is brutally honest about this industry and tells a bunch of wonderful and insightful stories about how he got started, pushing through hard times as a director, and Dee Snider. This episode is a little longer than most, but I promise you'll walk away smiling, inspired, and very informed. I loved this interview, and it's definitely one of the ones that I will listen to regularly. So, without further ado, here is the incredible Adam Green! Flex every opportunity. This goes out to those filmmakers out there who are not full-time yet. One of Adam's first jobs was editing videos for local businesses, videos that are typically pretty lame. But, he found an opportunity to use his directorial sensibility to make the videos great instead of shrugging the work off as part of his temporary day job. Instead, he channeled his passion into the work that was right in front of him, and as a result, that ad he edited was extremely popular and allowed Adam to hone his skills in what would have otherwise been a bland opportunity. Regardless of wherever you are in your filmmaking journey, find ways to flex your skills and passions with what you do instead of shrugging it off as unimportant. Ignorance is bliss. One of the things Adam really made an effort to convey is that throughout the course of his directorial journey, he knew very little about filmmaking but picked it all up as he went. Regardless of the fact that he didn't know what a feature or a reel was in the beginning, the consistent element of his origin story is that he constantly put one foot in front of the other, built momentum, and learned everything by doing. This is huge, as a lot of filmmakers feel intimidated and think they either need to go to film school or read dozens of books about filmmaking to get started. No. The best way to learn is to take consistent action, not by researching or feeling intimidated by your lack of knowledge. You don't have to know everything, or anything actually, but you do need to get moving. Giving others huge opportunities can be a huge opportunity for you. When Adam was selecting his production designer, he picked a greensman, someone who'd never done the job before. But since Adam's movie represented an enormous opportunity for him to excel and show what he's capable of, this guy over-delivered, and as a result, the production value of Hatchet was very high. This is what you want when you're working with low budgets; you want people who aren't in it for the money but for the opportunity to make something great with you. Your film could be a jumping-off point for someone's career, so don't always feel the need to crew your movie based on someone's IMDB credits. Observe their attitudes, your gut feeling about them, and really think about what your movie represents to them in terms of opportunity. Find people who have as much to prove as you do and it will not only save you money and boost your production value, but it'll create a wonderful adventurous spirit on set. Be cautious of favors. This is a complimentary point to the previous one. What you do not want on set is people who will begrudgingly do you favors and then constantly remind you of how much they usually get paid throughout the course of production. This is very toxic. Don't get me wrong, though; sometimes it's worth it to reach out to collaborators who are way out of your league, which was the case with both Ryan Spindell on Mortuary Collection and Ryuhei Kitamura with his first film Versus. But in any case, when selecting people to work with, it's critical to find that spirit of passion instead of people who are just in it for the money, which brings me to my next point. Create your own sandbox. Let's face it, anyone who's been in the Hollywood system will tell you it's infested with sharks, liars, assholes, and a lot of sociopathic personality types. It just is, but you shouldn't be daunted by this; instead, you should be vigilant about who you work with. Toxic personalities on set are awful and can ruin your set. Hollywood is a boulevard of broken dreams, and you're likely to come across a lot of people who are very bitter and envious and if you discover this, replace them immediately because they not only harm morale, they can actually try to sabotage your movie. Yes, that happens, multiple directors have mentioned it, and it's very insidious but true. What Adam does is he hyper-curates his production circles and tries to only work with people he knows & trusts or has great chemistry with. As a result, his sets are fun and harmonious, which significantly helps him get through more difficult productions. This is a key lesson so take note. Stop pirating movies! This doesn't apply to everyone but, some of you know who you are. If you like horror movies, support them by not pirating them. Illegally downloading movies is stealing, plain and simple, and no, it's not a victimless crime. The true victims aren't just the producers, writers, directors who bust their asses for years to make these movies, but it's us fans who ultimately suffer because there will be fewer horror movies because it drains money out of the industry. I'm going to go ahead and say it, if you steal horror movies, you can't call yourself a real horror fan. Real fans support the industry, so if this is you, knock that shit off and just pony up the money to watch the movies you love. Anyway, I don't want to end on a negative note, so I'll say, guys, this is my 80th episode and the end of Season 2 of the Nick Taylor Horror Show. I cannot thank you all enough for listening and for your support, and for sharing the show with your friends and filmmaking colleagues. Seriously, thank you guys so so much. We're going to take a brief hiatus before returning with Season 3 but in the meantime, be well, stay safe, and thank you as always for listening.  ----- Produced by Simpler Media

The horror anthology film has been a mixed bag throughout the years.  Many times with all the different artists and different tonal shifts, they usually land up being okay here, awesome there, and terrible over there.  And as a result many folks either avoid them like the plague or already know going in that they like some of the film but dislike other parts of the film.  Appearing on Shudder in 2020, was the film THE MORTUARY COLLECTION that got some buzz as many critics and horror fans alike took a look at it. In the small college town of Raven's End, the local mortuary and funeral parlor is run by the aptly named Montgomery Dark (Clancy Brown).  When a young woman visits, her interest in a coffin of a toddler attracts Montgomery's attention.  Soon Montgomery takes an interest her very odd and inquisitive ways and begins to discuss various instances of the showings and burials of the dead. Originally written as a short entitled The Babysitter Murders, writer and director Ryan Spindell expanded the fourth story of the anthology to include three more, and a wrap around tale.  The movie stars Clancy Brown in the pivotal role of the establishment's owner.  Dark Discussions on the recommendation of co-host Abe takes a look at this well received anthology film and give their thoughts.

Ryan Spindell is a writer-director who recently made his feature debut with the fantastic horror anthology, The Mortuary Collection, now streaming on Shudder. Mortuary Collection blends all of the nostalgic elements of anthologies like Tales from the Crypt, Bodybags & Creepshow with spooky atmospheric nods to vintage horror, all while packing a serious punch with its comedy, storytelling, and overall dedication. Sam Raimi has been a very outspoken fan of Mortuary Collection which currently holds a 96% percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Beyond that, this is without a doubt one of my favorite movies of 2020. It's a must-see.  Ryan and I discussed the long 7-year journey for getting this movie made and did a fair amount of geeking out along the way. There are some killer lessons here and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. Here are some key takeaways from this conversation with Ryan Spindell.  Choose where to invest wisely. Ryan spent a substantial portion of Mortuary Collection's budget on production design and you can very clearly see this as money well spent on the screen as the movie has a very detailed and beautifully designed handcrafted look to it. In order to make this investment, Ryan did have to take money away from some other parts of the movie's budget. Ryan shot less coverage and had to do fewer takes, but as a result of the investment, the movie has a killer look to it and nobody noticed the lack of coverage or fewer takes. So take note of the fact that there are parts of your budget that you can cut without the audience noticing it. If you want one part of your movie to stand out, figure out where you can cut the budget and invest in it.    It never hurts to ask. Mortuary Collection had some pretty great centerpiece practical effects in it which were done by Amalgamated Dynamics. Amalgamated Dynamics, also known as Studio ADI, is a legendary effects company that does hundred million dollar movies like Jurassic World, IT, The Predator, and other enormous blockbusters. They were clearly an effects studio that was well outside of Ryan's budget but, he cold emailed them and in the end, they agreed to do the movie, despite the lack of budget.  This is a big testament to the fact that so many movies, particularly low budget movies, come together because of a bunch of mini-miracles. I've heard many stories about indie filmmakers with a no-budget movie who approach someone well above their budget and somehow persuade them to get involved. When it comes to making this happen, it's important to remember that the real currency here is passion.  To get someone out of your league to do your movie, they have to be passionate about your project, and they have to see your passion. A lot of people in Hollywood, particularly established players, are tired of working within the studio system and hunger for something new, fun, and different that reminds them why they got in the business in the first place. If your project can give them this opportunity, you might have a shot of getting someone on board who can boost the quality of your project by a quantum leap. This is why it never hurts to ask. So aim for the fences and make those big unreasonable pie in the sky requests, the worst people can do is say no but the best that can happen is they say yes.   You need an asset.  Getting Mortuary Collection made was a very long road. One of the keys that opened doors to Ryan was the short that he shot for The Babysitter Murders. Ryan Kickstarted the short which acted as a critical asset for him when he was pitching the movie because he had a tangible sample of what the rest of the movie would look and feel like. If you pitch your movie to people by sending them a script, I hate to say it but there's a good chance they will not read it. But when you have something that somebody can watch that demonstrates your voice, your vision, and your ability to execute, it can be pretty helpful.  This is yet another case for shorts as well as a case for just getting started. Have something in the can that shows that you're the real deal because collaborators and investors want to know that they're working with somebody who can finish the project. So figure out what your asset for your project is and make it. There's a good chance it will open doors for you.    Don't listen to the masses. When Ryan first set out to make the Mortuary Collection he was told by his reps that nobody likes anthology movies, they don't make money, and that he should abandon the project. First of all, this hatred for sub-genres seems to happen more in horror than any other genre. First people were shitting on found footage, then horror comedies and now horror anthologies - don't listen to any of it. Yes, it's important to consider the marketability of your movie, but most of this thinking is short-sighted. As we all know, horror anthologies are making a huge comeback now, and there was even an article in the times about how it's the heyday for horror anthologies. Had Ryan listened to the naysayers, he'd missed out on this golden era for horror anthologies and we would have been cheated out of Mortuary Collection. So let the haters hate, and make your movie anyway.  Thanks again for listening!   ----- Produced by Simpler Media
