📄 Episode Description:

n this episode of The Night Crew Podcast, host Brad Ricks sits down with horror author and screenwriter BD Prince, whose darkly twisted imagination takes center stage. From writing humorous greeting cards and jokes for Joan Rivers to creating gut-wrenching horror fiction, BD Prince shares his unique journey from comedy to the macabre.

We dive deep into his creative process, his award-winning screenplay Boondocks, and how he juggles a day job with his passion for storytelling. BD opens up about the careful balance between scares and laughs, the haunting inspiration behind his stories, and what makes clowns the most terrifying monster of all (yes, he even drops the actual name for the fear of clowns!).

If you’re a fan of psychological horror, creepy circus lore, or just want to hear how a worm farm can scar a child for life and become a great horror story, this one’s for you.

Oh—and his short story collection drops in September, so don’t miss that teaser.
