The Scares That Shaped Us

Episode 2: "The Invaders" with Daniel Kraus


Listen Later

Hello, Horror Fans!

And we're back! It's Episode 2 and we've got a good one for you! Our guest this week is Daniel Kraus, celebrated author of books like Rotters, Scowler, The Living Dead, and the amazing Whalefall

For Daniel's formative horror story, we're digging into "The Invaders," a 1961 episode of The Twilight Zone starring Agnes Moorehead as a poor woman who has some very unwelcome guests. Plus, we talk about single-location horror, the timelessness of The Twilight Zone, horror for kids, and of course his new book with George A. Romero, Pay The Piper. Plus, we got some intel on Daniel's newly announced Night of the Living Dead deep dive, Partially Devoured

Show notes:

  • Pay The Piper is out now from Union Square Books.
  • Matthew's Recommendations: Experimental Film by Gemma Files; Red Rooms (in theaters now, on digital soon).
