Charles Band's Full Moon Freakshow

In this latest episode, Charlie welcomes real deal Full Moon royalty to the show: the great Tim Thomerson! Tim started his career in show business as a character actor and standup comedian doing the club circuit in LA, before being scouted by director Robert Altman to star in his 1978 comedy A WEDDING. That same year he would be cast as the gender bent Gene in the cult TV series Quark and then star in other films and television like the meta slasher classic FADE TO BLACK, at least one episode of FANTASY ISLAND and Charlie's 3D action film METALSTORM. But it was with his role as the no nonsense "future cop" in the 1985 sci-fi thriller TRANCERS that Tim would become an instant fan favorite. Later, he would reprise his role as Deth in further TRANCERS films as well as becoming DOLLMAN in the equally beloved Full Moon franchise. Of course, you've also seen him do his thing in other classic pictures like Kathryn Bigelow's NEAR DARK, the weird Sylvester Stallone/Dolly Parton comedy RHINESTONE, Sondra Locke's RATBOY and dozens upon dozens of other great entertainments.

Join Charlie on the road at Horror Hound weekend in Cincinnati, Ohio as he sits down with Musician/Actor William Katt [The Greatest American Hero, Carrie, House].

Dee Wallace joins Charlie on the Freakshow this week! From her first major role in Wes Craven's 1977 classic THE HILLS HAVE EYES, followed by a startling lead performance in Joe Dante's werewolf masterpiece THE HOWLING, Dee found superstardom starring as the mom in Steven Spielberg's juggernaut sci-fi family hit ET and soon afterwards, as yet more mom's encountering the unknown in the 1983 adaptation of Stephen King's CUJO and the cult creature feature CRITTERS. Since then, Dee has worked for greats like Peter Jackson and Rob Zombie, has appeared at least once in almost every TV series of the past 50 years and has also found herself a second career as a self help guru. Don't miss this episode!

Charlie welcomes veteran actor William Forsythe who you know from his work in the Cohen Brothers/Nicolas Cage comedy RAISING ARIZONA, his role as Flat Top in Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy, his appearances in Rob Zombie shockers like HALLOWEEN and THE DEVIL'S REJECTS, his role as the brutal butcher Manny Horowitz in HBO's BOARDWALK EMPIRE and many, many more. He's truly one of the great performers and we are honored to have him here, on the Freakshow!

This week, Charlie welcomes LA based filmmaker Joe Lynch to the show! Lynch started his career in rock videos, before making his directorial debut in 2007's WRONG TURN 2, the direct to video sequel to the Stan Winston horror classic. Among his storied credits are serving as co-creator (with fellow horror director Adam Green) of the TV show HOLLISTON, the horror/comedy omnibus CHILLERAMA, the Peter Dinklage/Steve Zahn film KNIGHTS OF BADASSDOM and most recently, the acclaimed MAYHEM starring Steven Yuen from THE WALKING DEAD and TVs CREEPSHOW. Lynch is also a podcaster and esteemed horror culture personality and we're excited to have him on the show!

The conversation continues with Mick Garris, the man behind such genre faves as CRITTERS 2: THE MAIN COURSE, PSYCHO IV: THE BEGINNING and NIGHTMARE CINEMA as well as the Stephen King classic SLEEPWALKERS and the epic TV adaptations of King's THE STAND and THE SHINING.
