BONUS: The Trouble With Tessa: Season Finale Q & A Aug 15, 2025

Show notes

We had the pleasure of sitting down with the cast and crew of The Trouble With Tessa one last time to discuss the season as a whole (we even got Tessa themself!). We learn a lot of fun behind the scenes stories, some extra lore about the mysterious town of Lowery, and what could be in store for a season 2!

A Conversation with the Minds Behind The Trouble with Tessa Jul 18, 2025

Show notes

As a bloody bonus, Shelby had the opportunity to sit down with some of the brilliant minds behind the latest Screambox original series THE TROUBLE WITH TESSA: Tony Walsh, Bethany Watson, and Dennis Cahlo! They discussed the ins and outs of creating great horror on a budget, and not falling into the trap of hand holding your audience through a story, plus so much more!

After Tessa Fowler’s skyrocketing career implodes overnight, the disgraced documentarian escapes to a small, idyllic mountain town called Lowery. It seems like the perfect place to hide: Lowery doesn’t allow cellphones, doesn’t have internet, and no one knows about Tessa’s past.

Tessa’s determination to leave their investigative days behind them disappears, however, when they find a mysterious box of recordings in their rental home’s dingy basement. At first, the recordings seem to be nothing more than security footage. However, when Tessa plays a tape that appears to catch a murder in progress, they can’t help but start digging into this seemingly perfect town’s disturbing past.
