Fox Dunham interviewed writer and director Ryan Spindell, the mad genius who wrote and directed Shudder’s new horror film, The Mortuary Collection.  This anthology movie tells the story of karmic punishment of evil and the nature of the storyteller. The story harks back to the days when horror had a bit of camp but was ultimately fun. After attending film school in Florida, Ryan relocated to California where he established <a href= "http://www.trapdoorpictures.com/about">Trapdoor Pictures</a> to produce the ‘fun genre’. He draws his influences from 80’s horror film and authors such as Ray Bradbury, Stephen King and Kurt Vonnegut. He chats with Fox about how horror films have evolved and what makes good horror. Horror is coming home! He also chats about the process of filming The Mortuary Collection and his collaborations with Evil Dead director, Sam Raimi. David Walton narrates a true ghost story that was written and researched by T. Fox Dunham. The Little Girl that Still Plays at Rockford House tells the story of a cursed family that bought land in Lancaster, Pennsylvania after the American Revolution to build a home. Ghosts still roam the house today. And T. Fox Dunham and Phil Thomas talk about their Halloween run of episodes, their favorite Halloween candy and what movies they’re going to enjoy this Halloweekend. The Mortuary Collection is number one on their list. Thanks for the exploding . . . organ, Ryan! Happy Halloween and a Happy Samhain to all.

Whether shambling, running, brain-eating or raging, authors T. Fox Dunham & Phil Thomas can’t get enough of the hungry dead, especially during the Halloween season. On episode 149, Fox & Phil chat with <a href="http://www.danielkraus.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daniel Kraus</a> about writing his new book, The Living Dead. Daniel had the honor of co-writing the book with the late George Romero, who created the zombie franchise with his movie, Night of the Living Dead. He explains how he went to great lengths to write it in Romero’s style and maintain his original theme: Zombies are the sympathetic good guys, a rising underclass, and humans are the villains. David Walton narrates an excerpt from the book. Also on this episode, Phil and Fox discuss zombie lore: the best movies, stories and the most effective method a zombie can use to hunt the living. Finishing the show, David also narrates a short story written by T. Fox Dunham called How my Battlecraft Guild Survived the Zombie Apocalypse. Fox got the idea while raiding on World of Warcraft, realizing that the teamwork required to defeat a raid boss would help any team survive a real invasion by the living dead. We’re counting down to Halloween 2020, so come and get some zombie love!

Through human history, people have sought to communicate with departed souls, and the evolution of that process has taken many forms. Finally in the mid-nineteenth century, the idea of the Séance developed. Supported by fringe science and the need to speak to dead loved ones, mediums became all the rage, especially during the shock of post-war periods. But were these mediums channeling the dead or just putting on a good show? Lisa shares her insights and answers the question why do we need séances? And she tells Phil and Fox a true ghost story that happened to her while she was part of a paranormal investigation at the infamous Stanley Hotel, the setting of Stephen King’s book, The Shining.
