Dark Discussions Podcast

Dark Discussions Podcast once again hits another milestone.  As we have done in the past, we set up a Facebook poll where listeners could choose the 450th episode topic.  After a grand fight of such films as INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHER (1978) and SCREAM (1996) among others, the film chosen by fans of the podcast was AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON (1981).

David Kessler (David Naughton) and Jack Goodman (Griffin Dunne) decide to do a hiking trip across Europe.  Their first stop is the moors of Northern England where the weather is bad and the hotels are scarce.  When they stop at a local pub called the Slaughtered Lamb, they mistakenly insult the local patrons and leave quickly.  Unfortunately for them, they have no idea where to go and something dark and evil may be on their tail.

The film was written and directed by John Landis who’s masterpiece ANIMAL HOUSE was only three years earlier.  With its dark humor, this latest film skates between black comedy and visceral horror.  Besides Naughton and Dunne, the film also stars cult film favorite Jenny Agutter in a pivotal role.  Dark Discussions takes a look at this classic film and give their thoughts.

Let’s say you are a young twenty-something looking to start a career in writing. What would you do if you were offered the job as an intern for your favorite horror author? Wouldn’t this possibly be the best opportunity for any up-and-coming writer? Learn to become a better writer, having the best business reference one could have, and becoming friends with an idol. That’s what happens in the new horror flick, TRUE FICTION.

Avery Malone (Sara Garcia), a young woman looking for a breakout, applies as an intern for famous horror author Caleb Conrad (John Cassini). When the job of a lifetime comes true, she is chauffeured to a remote manor where she is introduced to the reclusive horror master. After signing some waivers, she is introduced to what the work will include. However, soon, after some stress related experiments, she begins to believe her own life is in danger.

The film is directed by new comer Braden Croft from a script he wrote. Not reviewed by many, the handful of reviews it has received have all been positive. Is TRUE FICTION a hidden gem ready to be found, or more a trial run for both the director and actors to build their resume. Dark Discussions takes a look at this recently released movie.
