Yes, THAT Grady Hendrix. New York Times Bestselling Horror Author Grady Hendrix. Writer of Horrorstor, My Best Friend's Exorcism, Paperbacks from Hell, We Sold Our Souls, Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, Final Girl Support Group, and most recently How to Sell a Haunted House Grady Hendrix!We sit down with Grady (over Google Meet) to discuss his books, all of which make us shrivel in fear, laugh, and cry (only because we finish them). Of course, his latest book, How to Sell a Haunted House, was a big topic of conversation, but we promise, no spoilers. But perhaps most importantly, we changed up our standard beer paradigm, this time eschewing local/high-quality/craft beers for some American college classics. Classics like Bud Light, Rolling Rock, Coors, PBR, and Heineken. Why? Because we can. That's why. Well actually, it was because Grady has a nostalgic soft spot for those beers and we thought it would be fun to drink them out of little beer tasters. Something that no one in the history of beer culture has probably ever done. So there's that.So sit back, relax, and enjoy the podcast with one of the best horror and horror/comedy writers of our day. I know we sure as hell did!Support the show

PUBLIC VERSION. Writer Grady Hendrix (SATANIC PANIC, MY BEST FRIEND'S EXORCISM, PAPERBACKS FROM HELL, THE SOUTHERN BOOK CLUB'S GUIDE TO SLAYING VAMPIRES, HORRORSTÖR, WE SOLD OUR SOULS) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to share his career journey as a journalist, novelist, and screenwriter. From originally wanting to be a director… to realizing that writing was the only outlet where he would only have to count on himself… to writing about Hong Kong cinema for fan magazines and websites… to learning from his freelance journalism career how to not be so precious about every word… to the benefits of attending writing workshops/seminars/conventions and how hearing the right words of encouragement from the right person at the right time can literally change someone's life… to terrific advice on co-writing with a partner and the precautions that you each should take in advance… to sharing extremely helpful insight on how to handle receiving and applying notes… to the writing of his latest book THE FINAL GIRL SUPPORT GROUP… Grady has a ton of invaluable insight to share for a writer that didn't sell a book until he was in his 40's!  (Living proof why you should never give up!) Dr. Arwen's office was closed for “Hollywood Therapy” this week in honor of National Leftover Pizza Crust Day but Adam and Joe discuss attending their first concert together since the pandemic began and Grady shares his love and admiration for TWISTED SISTER in this phenomenally comprehensive conversation about the craft of writing.

The Marvel saga has reached its zenith, for now, with Avengers: Endgame, the biggest budgeted movie ever with the largest box-office opening. But we've seen other Marvel movies open huge that weren't that great. Does Endgame live up to the hype? Our weekly horror reviews are Let's Scare Jessica to Death, Pet Sematary (1989), Diablero, Killer Klowns From Outer Space, Demon Wind, The Last Drive-In, and We Sold Our Souls by Grady Hendrix.

This week, things get heavy — heavy metal. Your hosts read Grady Hendrix's epic horror-ballad We Sold Our Souls, and honestly, it rocked. Featuring discussions of female anger, the power of music as an active influence, and the fact that Amelia had a crush on Durza from Eragon as a kid. You know, the evil ghost guy? Yeah, it was pretty niche.

Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys, and a very special guest! On this episode, in honor of February being Women In Horror Month, we’re discussing two films directed by women: 1986’s Sorority House Massacre and 2001’s Trouble Every Day. And, to make it even more special, we’re joined by Al White, co-host of the Geeks podcast on the We Are Tessellate network and the writer/director of a film we both enjoyed, 2018’s Starfish. 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. Al discusses being on a huge slasher kick and watching Student Bodies, The Funhouse, Bloody Birthday, and Mother’s Day, as well as playing the newly released Resident Evil 2. Liam talks about reading Grady Hendrix’s new book We Sold Our Souls. Justin talks about the TV series The Passage, as well as the series Project: Blue Book, and the YouTube documentary series Hellier. We also talk about the upcoming horror documentary Horror Noire, available on Shudder. We begin by talking about Sorority House Massacre. Al begins by talking about how he initially enjoyed the movie upon first seeing it, and that despite it being a technically bad movie, it still has a certain weird charm. We talk about the film heavily lifting plot elements from both Halloween and A Nightmare On Elm St. Liam talks about how the killer in the movie isn’t scary or engaging in the least, and this movie suffers from not only having an interesting killer but also lacking actual developed characters. We also talk about how the movies strongest element (the strange dream sequences) are the elements the film uses the least. Justin talks about how it was something of a disappointing movie because it becomes extremely predictable once the film starts to hit the same beats as Halloween. There’s more discussion on the weak portrayal of the killer, and Al talks about how at the very least the film avoids giving the female characters “cartoon” personalities and seemed like actual real people but nonetheless the lead is the only character who only really stands out. Some of the film’s lackluster attempts to recreate certain elements of Halloween and how they fall woefully short are dissected. The lack of “leering”/the male gaze and the strange contextual nudity in the movie is discussed. Next up is 2001’s Trouble Every Day. Al discusses his first experience of the movie being due to him being a fan of Tindersticks (who do the soundtrack) as well as Vincent Gallo’s Buffalo ’66 being his all time favorite film. Justin cops to not being a fan of Vincent Gallo, and we discuss the somewhat controversial nature of Gallo’s career. Al talks about how he enjoys the ambiguous nature of the film and how the wife in this film is the most fascinating character, as well as he personally enjoys movies that are “love stories that exist to the detriment of the characters.” We talk about how the movie avoids the beats and tropes of horror movies, and how aside from the cannibalistic element the movie is more of an art film than a “horror” film. Justin talks about how the attack scene in the movie was extremely graphic and unsettling, as well as comparing the film in a broad sense to Don’t Look Now. The nature of addiction and obsession is discussed, as well as the way loved ones of addicts often justify the addiction.
