  • Great for extended road trip!

    I listened driving a long four hour drive this weekend. Jason, Jody, and Mando deliver an insightful dive into the old “Tales from the Crypt” in addition to cool fun trivia on the side. I was kept entertained and my mind was thankfully from the ride.

    Audio is 💯 I definitely recommend!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

LIVE SCREAM: Tales From the Crypt Season 2 w/ Rob Draper, Mathew Torres & Kristen Lopez
Q: Do you guys get to film the Crypt Keeper for your episode, or is there a cinematographer for that separate from your team?
Rob explains that the wraparounds used to be shot by the show's crew with a focus on the Crypt Keeper and that the primary photography for the episodes involved collaboration with the on-set team, including the puppeteering and creature effects, while the Crypt Keeper segments could be shot with dedicated wraparounds.
Aliens Expanded Interview w/ Ian Nathan | Alien Day Exclusive (Behind the Scenes of Aliens)
Q: What were your biggest challenges in making this documentary?
The biggest challenge was convincing talent to participate and coordinating schedules across busy projects, which influenced access and how deeply we could explore certain sequences.
Steven Weber Talks Horror: Tales from the Crypt, The Shining, Mel Brook's Dracula, Masters of Horror
Q: How did you approach Mel Brooks' Dracula and the collaborative atmosphere on that set?
Brooks created a playful yet demanding environment; actors were encouraged to bring their energy to the performance while the crew managed complex effects, with strong supportive direction from the team like Howard Berger and Carrie Ann Fleming's standout performance.
Steven Weber Talks Horror: Tales from the Crypt, The Shining, Mel Brook's Dracula, Masters of Horror
Q: What was it like working with Stephen King on The Shining adaptation?
King was very present and involved, but never imposed directions; Mick Garris handled the direction, and King's involvement added depth to the adaptation while allowing the actors to explore their own interpretation.

Q: Tell me about stepping into this role, the process of casting.
The team had someone in mind, another actor couldn't commit, and I auditioned late, but once they decided to pursue a faithful King adaptation, I felt free to approach the character without direct comparison to Jack Nicholson.
