The Dead Tree Society Podcast

This week, Trevor and Jeremy, spurred on by an audience question asked at a panel Jeremy had recently been featured on, the guys weigh the question and dig into the differences between horror, comedy, horror comedy, and horror parody. They find, very nearly waxing poetic at times, that the line between horror and comedy is thinner than one might think, and they look at examples in film and literature of these different ideas. Join us this week as Sley House Presents Horror and Comedy.

This week, Jeremy sits down with author Cina Pelayo to discuss the breadth of her work.

They also give a preview of her upcoming titles. Sit back and enjoy this heartfelt discussion about the power of art and writing with Bram Stoker nominated author, Cynthia "Cina" Pelayo.

This week, Trevor and Jeremy discuss the Universal Horror classic monster film, 1941's The Wolfman, starring Lon Chaney Jr., Claude Rains, Bela Lugosi, Evelyn Ankers, and a poem that everyone in the movie seems to know, but can be found no where else on the internet external of the movie. The boys talk about why they enjoyed this film, how a British father can have a son that sounds like he's from Oklahoma, and just how influential the movie has been on popular culture since its release. So sit back, howl at the moon, grab your favorite chew toy, and enjoy this discussion of a classic horror film.

This week, Trevor and Jeremy practice rolling their R's -- no wait, that's not the main focus. The main focus is to make fun of the actor who played Lord Byron -- no, not it either. The main focus is to discuss the 1935 classic BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (but seriously, that hammy performance at the beginning...) James Whale, Carl Laemmle, Boris Karloff, and Collin Clive are all back for this sequel that is arguably as good as, if not better than, the first movie, and Trevor and Jeremy are here to dissect it and discover why it is still an iconic film.
