  • 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!

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.

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.
