Hudson Leick bio:

“Heidi Hudson Leick, upon graduating high school, got a modeling gig in Japan; this was perfect because she loves traveling and modeling. When she returned to New York, her dream was to be an international model and then go into acting.

One day, she quit modeling while in France, and pursued a TV career. After several episodes of Melrose Place and several TV movies, Hudson's big break in television came auditioning for her signature role of "Callisto" on Xena: Warrior Princess.

The casting people told her the part was that of a warrior queen, which she thought was great. Her audition consisted of doing a kick and throwing a chakram; having intimidated the crew, she got the part. Hudson attends Xena conventions as a guest of honor.

She said her celebrity status surprises even her: when she had a birthday, several hundred fans sent her email messages. Her presence touches so many other people. She loves traveling, going on yoga retreats and climbing mountains. Hudson said at a convention, "I really want to thank all the people who have been supportive of me. It is so appreciated."

The three million dollar feature went on to gross over eighteen million domestically and became one of New Line Video's largest releases ever.”

(2005), It Is Fine! Everything Is Fine. (2007), and No! YOU'RE WRONG. or: Spooky Action at a Distance (2025).

Join Justin as he chats with writer and filmmaker Henry Darrow McComas about his movie The Camp Host, Are You Afraid of the Dark, night terrors, The Monster Squad Documentary, and more!

Henry Darrow McComas bio:

“Henry Darrow McComas is a Writer/Director from Anchorage, Alaska, with a passion for discovering beauty in the overlooked. This theme is a rich part of Wolfman's Got Nards: A Documentary, an award-winning horror documentary - which he produced, wrote, shot and edited - that celebrates the beloved cult film 'The Monster Squad' and its dedicated following.

It quickly became a festival darling, introducing McComas to the LA horror community, and continues to gain fans and critical acclaim worldwide. McComas' scripts use genre as a tool to explore personal human relationships. He puts his characters in dangerous settings like the unforgiving North American frontier and haunts them with metaphor...something he picked up from his youth chasing daylight during frigid Arctic winters. McComas conjures horror out of his real life experiences.

His first studio narrative feature film, THE CAMP HOST, was inspired by a van trip he took with his wife during the global pandemic. He wrote the script in the van; drove the van to Toronto to shoot the movie; and worked with his editor remotely from the van. His productions have taken him all over the world (including Antarctica) and he swears his next project will be based somewhere tropical. He's a multi-hyphenate filmmaker who has created for some of the industry's biggest studios and networks.”
