Author Dylan James Quarles returns this week as we rustle up a sequel to 1994's OBLIVION, Sam Irvin's BACKLASH: OBLIVION 2! Shot simultaneously with the original but released more than 2 years later, this follow up maintains the fun, goofy tone of the original and allows supporting characters, like Julie Newmar's Miss Kitty, to really shine.  Hosted by Jarrod Hornbeck and Steve Guntli  Theme song by Kyle Hornbeck  Logo by Doug McCambridge  Email: puppetmasterscastlefreaks@gmail.com Instagram/Threads: @puppetmasters_castlefreaks  YouTube: @PuppetMastersCastleFreaks  Next week's episode: Horrorvision

"Lucky for you I come with my own airbags." We watched "Elvira's Haunted Hills" and she really is going to put someone eye out with those things.  We already been knew that in this house we will throw down for "Elvira Mistress of the Dark" - the movie and the person. But does the long awaited sequel hold up? It took 13 years to write, finance and produce this homage to the Roger Corman produced, Vincent Price starring, Edgar Allan Poe movies of the 1960's and you can feel the inspiration all over the place. The spooky sets, the baroque (by way of the swinging '60s) costumes and of course Elvira herself, all give this movie the authenticity of those camp classics. Written by Cassandra Peterson and her longtime writing partner John Paragon (Jambi the Genie himself) the script is full of campy one liners, bawdy jokes and cheap visual gags - you know... classic Elvira. We may go Hard for the original movie, but this one really grows on you... kinda like a fungus - and that's why we love it! We've logged it 4 times on Letterboxd this year and it keeps getting funnier, EVERY SINGLE TIME WE SEE IT!

Lobbyist Mike Carpenter is a fixture at the General Assembly in his role as General Counsel at the NC Home Builders Association.  However, many don't realize that it was Mike who started the government relations program at NCHBA in 1989 after a career prosecuting drug dealers in the NC Attorney General's Office.   Mike takes listeners all the way to 1971, when he was a college intern in the Lt. Governor's Office (one of the most powerful legislative offices in state government at the time), his stint a few years later working for U.S. Sen. Sam Irvin on the Watergate Committee, and surviving a plane crash in western NC in 1984.  This week's #TOTW also sets Skye and Brian up to discuss the bombshell news still rocking #NCPOL.   The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame, the NC Travel Industry Association, the NC Beer & Wine Wholesalers Association, the NC Pork Council, and the NC Healthcare Association.

I am excited today to bring back to the show, the amazing Producer, Director and Author, Sam Irvin is joining me again. We talked in Sam's last interview about his friendship and working with the lovely Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, Cassandra Peterson. He directed her campy movie, “Elvira's Haunted Hills” and he has directed so many fun and spooky horror projects on both Television and the Silver Screen. Last time he was on we also talked about his book, a memoir, “I Was A Teenage Monster Hunter.” The book talked all about his growing up and interviewing a virtual who's who in the horror industry. Now, he has a new book, a behind the scenes of “Frankenstein A True Story,” that was a two part miniseries on television with some of the most queer infused content produced at the time. So much so, the behind the scenes team called themselves the Lavender Mob. Sam also gives us the name of an up and coming filmmaker to be on the watch for.

Dennis is joined via Zoom by filmmaker Sam Irvin. Sam is the author of the memoir I Was a Teenage Monster Hunter, which is about his childhood obsession with horror movies and the interviews he conducted with horror personalities for his fanzine Bizarre. Sam talks about his Cinema Paradiso-esque childhood; working at his family-owned movie theater, having to change the marquee when he was afraid of heights, getting to take home the posters after a film's run and cleaning up vomit after screenings of The Exorcist. He also talks about his creative and personal relationship with Cassandra Peterson AKA Elvira Mistress of the Dark. He recalls how he got the job directing Elvira's Haunted Hills, bonding over sad Joni Mitchell music and how just this year, he and Cassandra took a tour group of 30 Elvira super fans to visit the Haunted Hills locations in Romania and Transylvania. Sam also talks about being more in demand as a director at 67 than ever before. He's directed seven Hallmark and Lifetime films in the past 12 months, including this month's Love In Zion National: A National Park Romance and the holiday film Check Inn to Christmas. Other topics include: cold-calling his way into becoming Brian DePalma's assistant, Ian McKellan's naked prank on the set of Gods and Monsters, directing three seasons of the gay vampire series Dante's Cove and getting to visit the set of the James Bond film The Man With the Golden Gun when he was 18 and hearing sex stories from a drunk Herve Villechaize in the back of a Rolls Royce afterwards. 

The next sequel we are covering is "Oblivion 2: Backlash" which is cowboys vs aliens with a legendary cast. For it chatted with Director Sam Irvin. Sam talked about growing up with access to the movie theater his father owned, interviewing legends for his fanzine he did as a kid, working with Elvira, his friendship with Vincent Price, his new book "I Was a Teenage Monster Hunter" (link below to buy), his new movie Love in Zion National on Hallmark which premiers May 20th, 2023 at 8 PM EST, and lots more.

Happy Halloween, ghouls! We are officially at the end of the 13 Weeks of Halloween, and we at My Spooky Gay Family thought that the only way to celebrate was with a HUGE episode... so we are happy to share a very special interview with the Queen of Halloween, the star, heart, and legs behind Elvira, the Mistress of the Dark herself, Cassandra Peterson! In this episode, we chat with Cassandra about her new memoir, "Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark". We chat about everything from coming out as queer, to living in a haunted house, to sharing a treehouse with a gun fanatic. It was a joy to chat with this amazing horror icon, and an interview you won't want to miss. And as a very special added bonus, we went a step further and invited Sam Irvin, the director of Elvira's sophomore film, "Elvira's Haunted Hills", to stop by and chat about his career, his experience working with two of the biggest names in horror musical comedy, and what makes this movie the perfect cult classic to catch this Halloween as it's re-released on blu-ray! Enjoy this Halloween episode, kids! These conversations were so much fun, and definitely two for the books.

After a teenage publishing career of film fandom and criticism, Sam Irvin's first professional job came on the set of Brian De Palma's The Fury. Quickly, and for the next few years, he would become De Palma's assistant and a jack of all trades on movies from Fury to Dressed to Kill, before starting his own directing career and eventually coming back to film writing. On today's episode, joined once again by Ted Haycraft, we discuss:- Irvin's early career writing about Hammer films and interviewing actors like Vincent Price and Emma Peel;- his first contact with De Palma, then casting Carrie alongside George Lucas (who was then casting Star Wars) by inviting him to a film festival at his college;- and how that led to Irvin braving a phone call asking to work on The Fury.Also:- Interacting with the established crew for The Fury's Chicago crew;- why it's difficult to see the first film one worked on objectively;- his work with a young filmmakers Mark Romanek and Keith Gordon on Fury, Home Movies, and Dressed to Kill;- how Irvin progressed this to his first short and feature films.Sam Irvin is a veteran director, producer and screenwriter for movies and television who began his career as the assistant to Brian De Palma. His directing credits include Guilty as Charged (Rod Steiger, Lauren Hutton, and Heather Graham), Out There (Bill Campbell and Billy Bob Thornton), Elvira's Haunted Hills (Elvira, Mistress of the Dark), and Fat Rose and Squeaky (Louise Fletcher and Cicely Tyson). Irvin also co-executive produced Bill Condon's Academy Award-winning motion picture, Gods and Monsters, and wrote the book, Kay Thompson: From Funny Face to Eloise. Irvin also teaches graduate courses on directing at the University of Southern California School of Cinematic arts and resides in Los Angeles.The Fury is currently streaming on Starz and available on VOD and Blu-ray.

After doing an episode on Hallmark Christmas Movies I had a lot of questions on my mind, so I was really excited to talk to one of the experts on the Christmas directing scene: Sam Irvin. Sam has worked as Brian De Palma's assistant, made films for Full Moon, and has had a prolific career as director of TV Movies of all sorts - and that includes 8 Christmas movies! He was nice enough to have a chat with me about his experiences with gruelling schedules, shooting a Gay Christmas Movie (that can pass as straight), and the limits of Christmas cheer.

Whether working with Christopher Lee, Brian DePalma, or Ian McKellan, Sam is an endless source of amazing stories, and I'm so glad to bring them to you on this episode.First, a reminder that The Sewers of Paris is on Twitter and Facebook, where I post clips of the stuff that we talk about on each episode.

Every now and then you meet a true raconteur. Someone who not only has the ability to tell tales in an amusing way but who has enough life experiences accumulated to have stories that seem to be inexhaustible. Sam Irvin is such a person! Sam is a filmmaker who got his start in the industry working with Brian De Palma in the 1970's on THE FURY (1978), HOME MOVIES (1979) and DRESSED TO KILL (1980) but his journey began as a movie obsessed young man in North Carolina. While just a grade school kid, he started his own movie fanzine in which he reviewed horror, science fiction and fantasy films as well as conducting interviews with his horror film idols. Over his high school years he interviewed Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Vincent Price, Freddie Francis, Terence Fisher and even managed to travel to England to speak with them in person. The story of his visit to the set of THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN (1974) is incredible! In the 1980's he shifted to being a producer, directed a short film and worked as the Vice President of Marketing for several film distribution companies before finally getting to fulfill his dream of becoming a director. And then there's the little story of making the amazing ELVIRA'S HAUNTED HILLS (2001) with the great Cassandra Peterson. But I should just let Sam tell you his story as he does a much better job than I ever could. Among all his other projects Sam is also an author and our current pandemic Hell has fueled his creativity in an odd way. Along with artist Dan Gallagher he has produced the book Sam's Toilet Paper Caper! Styled as a parody of the classic children's series of Little Golden Books it relates the mostly true adventures of Sam as he attempts to replenish his supply of white gold – rolls of TP. It's available in both ebook and print editions with links done below. All profits from the sales of this book go to the World Health Organization's COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.
