Brian Little, a lifelong resident of eastern Ohio, found his passion to write only a few years ago. While being a small business man, a musician, and an amateur artist he turned his talents to writing and incorporated his love for horror, the supernatural, and history. He drew his inspiration from authors like Robert McCammon, Brian Lumley, and Clive Barker.Desiring to share local history and legends he decided to write a book and have something original with a story and events that the reader would find refreshing. Turning his new found love into the successful selling of over 2000 copies of his first book locally, he also sold many more on Amazon. With the success of his first title and 2 sequels, he has been invited to speak at many area functions and was able to put together the first ever Gretchenfest, in celebration of the almost 200 year old local ghost tale

I know it's the middle of winter but this week the book in question is taking us back to summer. And not our current plague-summer – but the halcyon days of 1989. Think kids on bikes, running wild, fights and first loves, demonic deer gods … wait … what?Our guest, Wendy N. Wagner is the editor-in-chief of the prestigious Nightmare Magazine, and the author of epic coming-of-age horror The Deer Kings, as well as the ‘Sawmill Gothic', The Secret Skin. We talk about both books and how Wendy has transposed both the classic British Gothic and the traditional New England small-town horror story to a Pacific Northwest setting.Bigfoot doesn't even show his face.We talk about the fervid popularity of coming-of-age horror right now, we plumb the dark, seamy underbelly of rural Oregon, we compare notes on the small towns of our childhoods, and I have the temerity to ask Wendy the best way to get published in Nightmare. There is even doughnut chat. Enjoy!Books discussed in this episode include: The Shadow Year (2008), by Jeffrey FordIT, by Stephen King (1986)Boy's Life, by Robert McCammon (1991)Summer of Night, by Dan Simmons (1991)Harvest Home (1973), by Thomas TryonFriday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream (1990), by H.G.

In this episode I welcome filmmaker Robert Tinnell and film historian Anthony Taylor to the podcast for a discussion of the 1996 movie FRANKENSTEIN AND ME, which was conceived and directed by Mr. Tinnell. The film is a funny, touching tale of a young monster obsessed kid with an active imagination and what happens when he accidentally gets his hands on the real Frankenstein Monster! Having the movie's writer/director along makes for a different kind of show! We dig into Bob's inspiration for the film's story including his childhood monster fandom and his dreams as a young director. The production of FRANKENSTEIN AND ME is examined as well as the original version of the story and the freewheeling times in which an independent Canadian film like this could come together. We talk about the great cast that includes Burt Reynolds, Louise Fletcher and the first film role for a teenaged Ryan Gosling. The conversation turns into what you might find after hours in the bar at a monster movie convention with topics such as Robert McCammon's novel ‘Boy's Life', the writing skill of Peter Straub and the joys of comic books as a medium. We dart off onto several barely related tangents with one of the most satisfying being our mutual love of the DVD of Monster Kid Home Movies put together by the great Joe Busam. That collection of Super 8 homemade films of Monster Kids showcasing the mad energy of the childhood creative impulse shows the clear beginnings of Bob Tinnell's path to this film. And finally, we discuss the fact that the film has never been released on DVD or Blu-Ray and the possibilities of that happening one day soon. If you have any questions or comments thebloodypit@gmail.com is the place to send them. We'll be thrilled to hear from you. Thanks for listening to the show!

It's time for round 2 with Chance Shirley (Episode 8 - Interplanetary), and this time we're also joined by his partner-in-crime Chuck Hartsell to talk about their first feature length film, the 2004 redneck zom-com Hide and Creep! I realize that a lot of folks are "over" zombie movies, but if you think you've seen everything, think again. This film is chock full of Chance's dry humor and Chuck's deadpan comedy, and perfectly encapsulates what it's like to grow up in a small southern town. We had an absolute blast recording this episode, and went on plenty of side tangents about their experiences both in making the film, and trying to market and sell this and subsequent films. I really hope you enjoy the conversation and give the movie a watch. All of Chuck and Chance's films can be seen for free with an Amazon Prime account. Links can be tracked down through the website http://crewless.com/ (which also includes links to purchase physical copies as well). The short Chuck mentions towards the end of the episode is available here: https://youtu.be/CB0ClsVQZVc He also recently directed a music video for a song written by best selling author Robert McCammon, which is available here: https://youtu.be/KK-S2c-vdyQ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nsfapod/message
Bueno, antes que nada; perdón por el retraso. Éste episodio de Hollyweird se grabó a principios del mes pasado y queríamos que fuera el último de 2020, pero al final entre las fiestas y la desidia vital provocada por el encierro pandémico la cosa no se ha materializado hasta hoy. Y aunque hayamos tardado casi medio año, esperamos que 2021 traiga más episodios en los que nos damos una vuelta por el lado satírico, extraño y terrorífico del ecosistema angelino. Hoy, servidor de ustedes -Víctor Castillo- y el siempre fiable Javier J. Valencia hablamos de cuatro nuevos artefactos culturales; Sed de sangre, la épica novela de terror de Robert McCammon en la que un ejército secreto de vampiros invade L.A, la simpática sátira screwball de Paul Bartel y Bruce Wagner, Escenas de la lucha de sexos en Beverly Hills, la gran aventura mística de los working class heroes de la serie Logia 49 y el inquietante buceo anónimo en el creepypasta de una de las revelaciones del año pasado: Murder.Death.Koreatown. Y finalizamos con las clásicas recomendaciones, Esperamos volver más pronto que tarde, disfruten de estas dos horitas de charla.
Episode 2 finds me rambling very broadly on the topic of censorship, where I try to put into context the recent actions of social media companies deleting accounts in the wake of the January 6th Storming of the Capitol event in Washington DC. I speak about how such purges are aimed at outsiders, not just people on one side of the political spectrum or the other, and why this concerns me. While I recognize there are limits to free speech, I'm ultimately someone who feels we must err on the side of free speech and this episode explains why. In addition, you'll get my usual silly digressions because season 2 of the podcast is, after all, all about me rambling next to a river Links to media mentioned: Bob and Paul doing "Sound of Silence" (maybe not as bad as I remembered?), Jon Meacham being a douchebag without integrity, Robert McCammon's awesome Matthew Corbett Series Book 1 (read by the great Edoardo Ballerini), "Jesus Christ and the Curveball," Phish performing "Camel Walk" Rebel Wisdom episode, "Now WTF is Going On? American Meltdown Edition." (where you can see me listening in!).
On this episode, we interview author Ronald Kelly, the man behind the Silver Shamrock release, THE ESSENTIAL SICK STUFF, on September 28th, 2020, and the short story contribution to Silver Shamrock's debut in the MIDNIGHT anthology series, "Sawmill Road. We dive in the deep end with both feet as we explore his storied career in horror that spans over three decades. Find out how started his career as a featured author on Zebra Horror in the late 1980s and 1990s, hobnobbing with industry pioneers Robert McCammon, Joe Lansdale, and Charles L. Grant, and what tricks he has up his sleeve for 2020 and beyond. Hold on tight, kiddies. This is going to be a wild ride!
This week we get visceral – with the extreme body horror of Robert Jeremy Johnson and his new novel THE LOOP. Jeremy speaks to us from Portland, Oregon, where he’s busy watching the forest fires and working on ways to weaponise his words for good. THE LOOP is a novel all about conspiracy theory, medical mishap, and a class war raging through a small town. Think your favourite 80s teen comedy (with its guts spilling out) mixed with a little bit of 50s pulp Americana and smeared with 2020s political frenzy. That’s THE LOOP and man, it’s a trip!!Oh, and we hear some VERY alarming claims about the octopus!The books we discuss in this episode include: The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton (1967) Survivor Song, by Paul Tremblay (2020)IT, by Stephen King (1986)Boy’s Life, by Robert McCammon (1991)Summer of Night, by Dan Simmons (1991)A Collapse of Horses, by Brian Evenson (2016)Come talk books with us on Twitter @talkscaredpod or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com.Thanks To Terry Smith Audio for sound editing.
Der Titel dieser Folge ist schon lang genug, aber eigentlich müssten wir noch "Band 1" ergänzen, denn wir sprechen nur über die erste Hälfte des Gesamtwerks. Für die deutsche Ausgabe hat der Luzifer-Verlag beschlossen, sich für den George-Martin-Wanderpokal zu bewerben und das (zugegeben verflucht dicke) Gesamtwerk auf zwei Bücher zu verteilen. Vorteil für uns: Wir können gar nicht spoilern, weil wir nicht wissen, wie alles ausgeht. Robert McCammon entführt seine Leserschaft ins späte 17. Jahrhundert in eine aufstrebende, neu gegründete Stadt namens Fount Royal. Dort treibt angeblich eine Hexe ihr Unwesen, die nun von einem Richter und seinem jungen Gehilfen - Matthew Corbett eben - dem Recht zugeführt werden soll. Was für die Bewohner der Siedlung nichts anders heißen kann als: Scheiterhaufen. Überzeugt uns Band 1, dass wir weiterlesen wollen? Viel Spaß mit der neuen Folge!

This week, we're excited to have the opportunity to chat with Ken McKinley, the owner, and Editor-in-Chief of Silver Shamrock Publishing. Silver Shamrock is approaching its one year anniversary and has quickly become one of the Horror genre's premier independent presses, putting out high-quality releases from both veterans of the genre and authors who are publishing their first book. We are huge fans of Silver Shamrock books and were excited to get a chance to talk to Ken and pick his brain about Silver Shamrock and publishing in general. During the episode, we talked about how he founded Silver Shamrock, the role of social media, James Newman's role in Silver Shamrock's origins, Midnight in the Graveyard, how he avoided the pitfalls of other indie presses, his long-running open call policy, taking care of authors, info on the Gord Rollo releases, IPAs, a story about how he got to work with his favorite author Robert McCammon, and so much more. Check out our conversation with Ken McKinley now right here on Ink Heist or on your favorite streaming service.

Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys. On this episode we’re discussing Canadian horror films with Deathdream and Curtains. First and foremost we want to give a shoutout to our sponsors over at Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, the premiere screen-printing company of the Lehigh Valley. Chris Reject and his merry band of miscreants are ready to work with you to bring to life your vision of a t-shirt for your business, band, project, or whatever else it is you need represented by a shirt, sweater, pin, or coozy. Head on over to www.xlvacx.com to check them out. Also, thank you to our Patreon subscribers. Your support means the world to us and we are eternally grateful for that support. Thanks! We start by talking about what we’ve seen or done lately in the field of horror. We discuss seeing Panos Cosmatos’ new film Mandy. We discuss the paradox of Nicholas Cage being both a very talented actor and a very weird person given his choice in the films he makes, as well as some of the problematic elements of the film, including the idea of a film focusing on a female character whose only purpose is to die and send the male character on some kind of quest. Justin talks about attending the Monster Mania and New Jersey Horror conventions and his semi-annual rereading of Robert McCammon’s Usher’s Passing. Up first is 1974’s Deathdream aka Dead Of Night. We give a brief summation of the film. Liam points out that it’s the “weirdest version of a lot of things: a zombie film, a Canadian film about America, and a Canadian film about the Vietnam War.” The film as a metaphor for PTSD is discussed at length, as is the similarity of Andy’s experience coming home to veterans coming home. The “fish out of water” scenario that Andy experiences is compared to going from homelessness to not being homeless. The scene where Andy kills a dog is discussed, in that it’s one of the few scenes in a movie where a dog is killed for a valid reason; in this case it is to show how “non-conscience” Andy is and how is this is a reflection of soldiers are often thrust back into civilian society without being properly “deprogrammed” from military life. The intensity and darkness of the climax and ending of the film is discussed, especially the scene where Andy’s father takes his own life and the very end where Andy, decayed and decrepit, attempts to bury himself in a shallow grave he has dug for himself. Justin makes the comparison to the ending of An American Werewolf In London in how it’s the furthest possible thing from a happy ending. Up next we talk about 1983’s Curtains. We give a brief summation of the film. We discuss the disjointed nature of the film, in that it feels as there are numerous films occurring once and none of them are connected. The film struggling to be a giallo or a traditional slasher or a made for TV drama is discussed. We attempt to understand the various plot holes of the film, the technical discrepancies, and the failed “red herrings”. We discuss the “wasted talent” of the film, in that several accomplished actors are in this movie for nothing.

Thirty-one years later, Predator has another sequel out, THE PREDATOR. Ignoring The Aliens vs. Predator movies, The Predator follows Predator and Predator. But is it good enough to round out the trilogy or is it yet another turd in the Predator punch bowl? Our weekly staff picks consists of Mandy, Bride of Re-Animator, Terrifier, The Pool, Bobcat Goldthwait's Misfits & Monsters, The Darkest, Fallen, Pacific Rim: Uprising, and I Travel by Night by Robert McCammon.
We wanted to dive into a classic this week, so we went with the Clive Barker insanity that is HELLRAISER. Gory, intense, and completely original, HELLRAISER is one of the best horror movies of the 80s. Our weekly horror curation consists of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Living Among Us, The Making of the Bad Ben Trilogy, Rampage, When a Stranger Calls Back, Anonymous 616, and The Border by Robert McCammon.
After an absence last week, we are back! This week, we're talking with Brian Parker, author of several books, both traditionally as well as self-published. His Path of Ashes series has hints of the classic Swan Song by Robert McCammon and is definitely worth checking out.
In this episode, we wandered into the wasteland and played the Fallout video game series. What does this particularly popular post-apocalypse tell us about life after nuclear war? Is the video game series realistic in how it portrays nuclear devastation? How much can you mix together comedy and utter bleakness before you go a little insane? Tim and special guest Lucy Steigerwald answer these questions and more. Follow Lucy on Twitter at @LucyStag and her Apocalypse Project at www.TheStagBlog.com. Before our Rad count gets too high, we recommend checking out: -Metro 2033 video game series -Lovely Umayam, “Why the Excitement Over Post-Nuclear-War Game Fallout 4?” The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, November 4, 2015 -Eileen Welsome, The Plutonium Files: America’s Secret Medical Experiments in the Cold War, 1999 -Walter M.
