This week I speak with filmmaker and instructor for The Basic Keys to "The Secret Teachings of All Ages". We discuss occult author Manly P. Hall's seminal book on esoteric knowledge, Stephen's work as a filmmaker and transition to esoteric symbolism teacher and tons of other stuff in the realm of spirituality. The conversation was so good that I scheduled a part 2 for next week!

Also, a quick life update.

This week I check in with artist Dan Colonna (If you have not heard Dan's story battling glioblastoma - commonly known as a brain tumor- check out Ep. 168). We speak about him beating the odds after 10 years, his recent issues with a persistent skull infection and subsequent decision to go into palliative care, reaching milestones from month to month, how his 6+ brain surgeries in 2023 have continued to affect his artwork, as well as him spending his days painting and getting the most out of his life. Dan's story is very heavy, but he has an amazing attitude about it. We also get into some technical talk later in the episode.

Also, a quick life update.

This week we are starting 2024 off right by bringing artist Ryan Peterson on to talk about John Carpenter's The Thing! This classic sci fi horror film from 1982 is one of our favorite films of all time and because of that, this is a long episode that gets pretty deep in the weeds on all things John Carpenter and Makeup Effects genius Rob Bottin! Ryan and I worked in the makeup effects industry during the same time back in the day (Ryan even worked for Rob on such films as "Seven" and "Mission Impossible") so I think we have a more nuanced perspective because of it. Plus, Ryan has some inside scoops that I have not heard anywhere else!!!

Also, a quick life update.

This week, for the last episode of the year, I talk to artist Ryan Case about facing adversity. Adversity is something that we all have to face but as artists (Dark Artists especially), it's part of the job. I thought speaking with Ryan about it would be a good way to end the year!

This week I speak to special makeup effects artist legend Mark Shostrom! Mark has created makeup effects for many classics: Evil Dead II, Phantasm II & III, A Nightmare on Elm Street 1, 2 & 3, John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness and many, many more! But we don't talk about makeup effects (much). This interview is all about Mark's truly remarkable series of ghostly events that he and others at the school he was teaching at experienced in the early 2000s. This is a really amazing episode. I can't believe this story has not been told before....until NOW!

For episode 300 (!), I do my first DAS podcast YouTube Halloween livestream Q&A! I chat with the live chat and answer questions. Subjects covered: my proudest career moments, my first paranormal experiences, working on films like Hocus Pocus and Hellboy, my painting and sculpting techniques and moret! It was a really fun episode for me to do and a nice way to celebrate Halloween with other dark art folks!
