Episode 261: Mostly Horror Rewind — George Reinblatt & Evil Dead the Musical
Q: Can you describe for people that haven't heard of the musical, talk about the inception when it was created?
The show started as a Toronto project by a small team who wanted to turn Evil Dead 1 and 2 into a musical while keeping it true to the source rights; it expanded from a cheap, grassroots production to an Off-Broadway hit with a unique, party-like atmosphere and progressively larger productions.
Episode 260: Monsters, Movies, & KreatureKid's Adam Dougherty
Q: How did Adam get into the practical effects world and what shaped KreatureKid?

Q: Could you give us a little bit of a breakdown of what this book is and what readers can expect diving into it?
