GYS Classic #1 (Reyna Young, "Miss Misery", Horror Host) (03-12-2009)

GYS Classic #1 (Reyna Young, "Miss Misery", Horror Host) (03-12-2009)

Welcome...to the Graveyard Show Classic.  This is a look-back at my interview with Reyna Young, horror host Miss Misery, and creator of the Last Doorway Productions, which was originally published on 03-12-2009. This was Reyna's first time on my show, and the topic on the table was women in horror, and the tough road she (and others) had faced trying to get ahead in the horror genre that was being run by men. This interview will open your eyes as to the sexism that existed even in 2009.  A good interview to follow this with was my 2009 interview with Shannon Lark (Tombstone 16). The Graveyard Show Podcast can be found on Apple Podcast, Anchor, Spotify, Google Play, and wherever podcasts are available. And as you exit the graveyard I would like to remind you to please…lock the gate behind you…we wouldn’t want anyone to get out. Until next time...

Welcome...to the graveyard. It's my pleasure to welcome Jeremy King ("Chad") and Zoe Graham ("Jessie") from the horror anthology film Scare Package. They will discuss the film, their experience working with writer/director Aaron Koontz, and a few other things that I won't print for those that haven't seen the film yet. Scare Package is currently streaming on Shudder, but on October 20th the film will be available on Digital, VOD, and Blu-Ray.  ____________________________________________ Now, the disclaimer- if you haven’t seen Scare Package, and you don’t want to know anything about the film you should turn back now and come back after you’ve seen the film. While we did our best not to ruin anything for those who haven’t seen the film, there are some things that we do discuss. There are a few surprises we talk about and some moments from the film, but that couldn’t be helped. After all, it is an interview, and if I avoided everything about the movie there wouldn't be anything to talk about.   So again. You have been warned….you have been warned…you have been warned! I don’t want any angry emails because I gave something away in the film before you saw it. _____________________________________________ The Graveyard Show Podcast can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Stitcher, and wherever podcasts exist.

Welcome....to the graveyard. If you've listened to my previous podcasts you've heard my next guests' name mentioned several times. Michael Monahan (aka Doktor Goulfinger) will be joining me to continue my discussion on horror hosts. He is considered the foremost authority on horror hosts, and in this first part of two shows we will discuss his love of horror and horror hosts, and answer some questions such as: * Did Night of the Living Dead (uncut) make it's television debut on Creature Features? * Which Hammer horror film saw it's viewership continue to rise when it aired on late night? * Which famous filmmaker sent Bob Wilkins a note thanking him for hosting Creature Features and how much it was an influence? * Which horror host was so popular that the crime rate went down when their show aired? * Who does Michael consider "horror host royalty"? * Which classic Universal horror film is Michael's favorite, and why does it hold such a special place in his heart? You can find the Graveyard Show Podcast on YouTube, iTunes, Spotify, and wherever podcasts are streaming. And as you exit the graveyard I would like to remind you to please...lock the gate behind you...we wouldn't want anyone to get out. Until next time...

Tombstone 6 (Sandy Clark, director, American Scary)

Tombstone 6 (Sandy Clark, director, American Scary)

Welcome....to the graveyard. As I begin "Phase Two" of my interviews I decided to shift my focus on the topic of Horror Hosts, and I thought what better way to introduce that topic than by revisiting my interview with Sandy Clark, the producer/co-writer of the film American Scary. The film is a documentary about the history and legacy of horror hosts, and it should be seen and supported by everyone in the horror community. The movie is currently streaming on Amazon Prime.

Welcome....to the graveyard. Hello, and welcome to the fifth of my Tombstone Editions of the Graveyard Show Podcast. This interview is with the director of Saw VI, Kevin Gruetert. Kevin had worked as the series editor since Saw, and we'll talk about his transition from editor to director for this film, his on-set experiences working with the torture devices, and trying to make the best film in the series. He'll also discuss how real some of the devices used in the films really were.

Tombstone 4 (Ari Lehman, actor, Friday the 13th [1980])

Welcome....to the graveyard. Hello, and welcome to the forth of my Tombstone Editions of the Graveyard Show Podcast. This interview is with actor and musician Ari Lehman, who played Jason in the original Friday the 13th; he was the boy who jumped out of the lake at the end of the film. We discuss what it was like shooting that scene, how he got the part, and life as a frontman for his band First Jason. He will also give his thoughts on how Jason went from the boy in the original film to the unstopable killing machine in the sequels. I also have some thoughts after the interview on the ending of the original film and how it stacks-up to the ending of one of it's sequels. I would love to hear your thoughts so please feel free to leave comments, or email me at gyspodcast@gmail.com.

Welcome....to the graveyard. Hello, and welcome to the third of my Tombstone Editions of the Graveyard Show Podcast. This interview is with director Adam Gierasch and we talked about his film Autopsy, which was in the After Dark Horrorfest, 8 Films to Die For. It was his directorial debut, and Adam was very honest and open about what it was like helming his first film. I think this is a great interview for anyone learning about films, wanting to get into the entertainment industry, or just a fan of horror.

Tombstone 1 (Patrick Lussier, director, My Bloody Valentine 3-D)

Welcome....to the graveyard. The gates to the Graveyard Show Podcast (2009-2010) have reopened, and I thought (a decade later) it was time to start revisiting many of my interviews from that time with an updated introduction and close to each of these new "Tombstone Editions".  My first tombstone being placed in my newly renovated graveyard is with director Patrick Lussier, and he came on my show to discuss his film My Bloody Valentine 3-D. We talked about what it was like shooting in the 3-D process, the making of the film, and working as Wes Craven's editor among other things. There will be many more of these Tombstone Editions to come, including an interview with someone from a famous horror film that has never been heard since the show went away in 2010.
