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.

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 a local horror collector, and I make true horror connections between the flesh-eating vines in The Ruins and real carnivorous plants in nature.

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

In this episode, I have Lance from slashers podcast as my guest. We dive into the meta universe that is the horror genre in the late 90's. With influences from the Scream franchise, Chucky gets funny with horror references throughout the film. We also talk about the themes of toxic relationships and revenge. For my true horror's connection, I go over a condition called hybristophilia. A condition where people are attracted to criminals. I also draw comparisons between the fictional killer couple and a couple known as the Lonely Hearts Killers.
