Necronomicast

In this episode Wayne interviews Alyse Wax, an Associate Editor for Fearnet.com. Fearnet as some of you may know was bought out and deleted from the web. The horror community is not happy about this and neither are we, so we were honored to have her on the show to talk about her time at one of the coolest horror sites on the web.

In this episode we talk about Asian horror. Seems we haven't watched enough of it. In fact Zip just watched both the Asian and American movies of the Grudge and the Ring and gives his take on them. Brian gives us the lowdown on the Thirst, and we chat about other top Asian horror we have on the slate to watch for upcoming episodes. What's your favorite?

The sequel! Thanks to Tom for giving us so much time. We wanted to make sure all of our fans got to hear the entire interview so here is part 2 of our interview with the writer and director of Friday the 13th part 6 Jason Lives!

In this interview we have the pleasure of interviewing Tom McLoughlin, the writer and director of Friday the 13th part 6 - Jason Lives. But that's only a part of his amazing career. Tom has created movies, TV, music and more. His new book A Strange Idea of Entertainment, written by longtime friend Joseph Maddery, goes deep into the life of the man who made one of the most memorable Friday the 13th movie sequels. This is part 1 of a 2 part show where Tom opens up and talks to us about everything F136 as well as how he got started, what he's done, and how he still tours the world playing music! Happy Friday the 13th!

In this episode, we talk about some of the horror movies that took us from being scared of horror to embracing it. Movies of the 80's that we saw that we ended up wanting to know how they did the effects and inspired us to want to create or recreate scenes. Movies that made us want to get scared and want more. Not a top list, but rather a look into the movies that made us horror fans.

In this episode we talk about horror on TV. The quality production and captivating stories are all setting a new bar for horror you can watch at home.

In this episode we welcome Brian to the table and chat about the movie Afflicted. We also discuss vampires in movies, zombies, and Wayne chats about the 80's Troma movie Class of Nuk'em High. Doug shows off his mangled face from a bike accident. Sadly, he laughs a lot during the interview, causing hilarious amounts of pain due to his split lip. Ah the horror!

In this episode, Laurie, Wayne, and Doug head over to the Sokol Auditorium where rehersals are taking place for Stephen King's The Shining - A Play. Listen in as we discover the amazing story of how Director Jason Levering is turning his long time dream into reality and how he is doing it all with the blessing of the man himself, Stephen King. It's all a benefit for the Benson Theater and is on a limited run. From their facebook page:

“The Shining” will be the Benson Theatre’s first major production, and we could not be more excited about what we have in store. What better way to introduce the Benson Theater into the world of performing arts than with a big, bold, innovative new work from and for our community.

Helping to advise the production are Tom Elkins, director of the film “The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia”, and Kevin Lawler, Producing Artistic Director of the Great Plains Theatre Conference and co-founder of the Blue Barn Theatre. Lighting design is being developed by Tommy Wilson, Charlie Wagner, and the rest of the team at JSAV. Our set designer is Kit Gough, who has worked in the Omaha theatre community for several years, most recently as the set designer for “Seussical The Musical” at The Rose Theatre. Providing the artwork for our marketing is local artist Jeremy Caniglia, whose beautiful and terrifying work can be seen gracing the covers of books by authors such as William Peter Blatty (40th anniversary edition of “The Exorcist”), Douglas Clegg, Peter Straub, Max L Brooks, Anne Rice, and yes, Stephen King.

The play will be directed by Jason Levering, from a script written by Levering and fellow writer Aaron Sailors and approved by Mr. King.
