Episode 7 - Fred Olen Ray - Filmmaker, Producer (Dire Wolf, Scalps) Mar 24, 2018

Show notes

From horror and sci-fi to family fare and beyond, director/producer Fred Olen Ray has done it all. Second only to the likes of Roger Corman, Fred’s roster of films and television programs numbers in the hundreds, including notables HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS, SCALPS, ARMED RESPONSE, JACK-O, ALIEN DEAD, DIREWOLF, and BIKINI DRIVE-IN. He has kick started, and given new life to, countless careers, has a diverse background outside of film that includes professional wrestling, and is one of the greatest storytellers in cinema. In this in-depth, fascinating conversation we get into his youth, earliest forays into cinema, a number of his key productions, and dig deep on the production process and film business. We touch on his time as tag team partner with hardcore wrestling icon Terry Funk, his mysterious partnering with Donald Jackson, and helping foster his son Chris Ray from tiny alien to SyFy channel monster movie mainstay.

Show notes

Andrew Divoff is one of the most diverse actors in entertainment, with over 100 film and television credits to his name, including LOST, THE STRAIN, TOY SOLDIERS, FAUST, AIR FORCE ONE, ANOTHER 48 HOURS, A-TEAM, and MATLOCK. Horror fans will undoubtedly know him from his iconic turn as the Djinn in WISHMASTER, and Danson in GRAVEYARD SHIFT.

In 2012 he narrated my HALLOWEEN documentary YOU CAN’T KILL THE BOGEYMAN, which had a nationwide theatrical run, and most recently he starred in BAD ASS 2: BAD ASSES. On top of all of that, Divoff is an avid animal lover, a philanthropist, and now has his own signature line of award winning beer. Our fascinating conversation is not to be missed.

Episode 4 - Irwin Yablans - Producer (Halloween) Aug 20, 2016

Show notes

Irwin Yablans produced the first three HALLOWEEN films as well as a number of notable genre titles including TOURIST TRAP and HELL NIGHT. The original concept for HALLOWEEN was his, and despite playing such a key role in the legacy of this durable series of films, he has largely existed in the shadows behind the scenes. Until now.

In our exhaustive conversation we cover it all, digging deep on HALLOWEEN and the diverse roll of pictures he has produced and/or contributed to with his writing. It is a fascinating conversation full of revelations. The first of many HALLOWEEN series guests.

Show notes

Trick or Treat Studios owns the Halloween mask market, and with the season creeping up on us the timing couldn’t be better to call in company president (and Macho Man impression maestro) Chris Zephro and master sculptor Justin Mabry to talk shop. Their lineup of licenses is mind boggling, including HALLOWEEN, GAME OF THRONES, WALKING DEAD, ALICE COOPER, ROB ZOMBIE, SAW, CHILD’S PLAY, JAWS, and BELA LUGOSI.

Chris and Justin make a MAJOR LICENSE ANNOUNCEMENT that will make HALLOWEEN fans swoon, and we’ve got the exclusive! We talk about the fascinating process of design and manufacturing, share October memories, get into their adventures working with celebrities and studios, and discuss products in queue for the future. It is a packed episode that will put you in an autumnal mood.
