  • Great

    This is such a good show. I love King, so it’s a given I love this podcast, but it’s not just all about King. There are varied topics, conversations and guests (special mention to the recent show with Willem Dafoe and Bill Skarsgard, they were such good guests, really cool guys!).

  • Meh

    Some of the interviews are great but multiple episodes have struck me as very unprofessional. There are plenty of horror podcasts for smaller networks that feel more polished than this.

284: An Interview with Jeff Fahey
Q: What do you think your character's motivations are in The Institute?
My character believes he's doing good for humanity, even if it means engaging in morally ambiguous actions.
284: An Interview with Jeff Fahey
Q: What made you attracted to the character in The Final Run?
It was fascinating that it's a story about a man who wants to do something for his ailing wife, and it's appealing to play someone who's a gentleman smuggler.
284: An Interview with Jeff Fahey
Q: What's your favorite role that you feel closest to in your heart?
I try not to deal in favorites, but I've been very lucky to have varied experiences in all different genres.
283: The Institute with Ben Barnes
Q: What's your Stephen King origin story?
I probably saw The Running Man and Shawshank Redemption around the same time and can chart the genesis of those to all the things I love about stories in general.
282: The Shawshank Redemption with Chuck Russell
Q: What are the differences and challenges between using practical effects versus CGI in horror films?
For me, it's almost always about when I can use practical effects since they create a different kind of suspense and fear, something visceral that CGI often can't replicate.
