I got a chance to interview Gene Dolders, director of the indie horror film The Blade Cuts Deeper.The Blade Cuts Deeper is a Giallo-inspired, slasher movie set in Liverpool, UK. Content has consequences...Many people want their five minutes of fame but for some, it comes at the ultimate price - their life!' Meet John Abbott, narcissistic host of infamous real-crime show Lights, Camera, KILL. Known for its lurid re-enactments of the darkest of trespasses, it has made him rich by exploiting pain and suffering. Yet while Abbott basks shamelessly in the limelight, one victim has seen enough. Broken by his loss, the man has a burning thirst for revenge - and now he wants to make Abbott bleed.

In this episode, I cover the horror film Jeepers Creepers, A brother and sister driving home through isolated countryside for spring break encounter a flesh-eating creature which is in the midst of its ritualistic eating spree. I talk horror with the scream queen from Trash Cat Productions and we play a little license plate game that will surely make you laugh. For the true horrors, I connect the opening scene of this movie to the case of Dennis DePue, a former Michigan Property Assessor who murdered his wife and was seen by witnesses near an old schoolhouse with a bloody sheet.

A leisurely Mexican holiday takes a turn for the worse when a group of friends and a fellow tourist embark on a remote archaeological dig in the jungle, where something evil lives among the ruins.

In this episode, I talk horror with my friend Sara Michelle Owner of @butcheredwaifuoddities. We discuss the horror comedy that crams the most references you will ever see on the horror genre in one film. A group of kids go to a remote cabin in the woods where their fate is unknowingly controlled by technicians as part of a world-wide conspiracy where all horror movie clichés are revealed to be part of an elaborate sacrifice ritual. For the true horrors, much of Drew Goddard's inspiration for this movie came from his own upbringing in Los Alamos, New Mexico, a place filled with scientists and co-workers all going about their business and living seemingly routine and ordinary lives even though they were building nuclear weapons that could potentially destroy the entire world. I get into the Manhattan Project Trinity Test. Sources: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1259521/ https://www.history.com/news/atomic-bomb-test-victims-new-mexico-downwinders
