In our next installment that helps introduce people to Horror Films, Chris and I and special guest host Spency leap into the 1950s to discuss all three Creature from the Black Lagoon Films: Creature From the Black Lagoon (1954), Revenge of the Creature (1955), and The Creature Walks Among Us (1956). We dive (no pun intended) into a lot of behind the scenes information, as well as some deep analysis of the themes presented and we think you'll be surprised about our opinions of the sequels! Don't forget to also check out our special Flickr Gallery of newspaper ads and articles from the release of each film! The links are in the show notes! If you haven't seen the Creature films, you really should check them out as they are fun, good-old fashioned monster movies!

Our special guest today is filmmaker Bobby Canipe Jr, whose forthcoming documentary, “Mom n' Pop: The Indie Video Store Boom of the 80s/90s”, is a fascinating and nostalgic look at the local video stores that many of us grew up with! We had a great discussion about his career and take a deep dive into the history and our memories of Video Stores! If you have a young person in your life that has never experienced the fun of going to video stores, looking wide eyed at the cover art, and the joy of choosing a movie or two for movie night, then have them listen to this fun retrospect on one of the coolest periods of our lifetime!

Chris and I had the good fortune to interview the amazing actor, Paul Taylor, who is best known for his portrayal of Pinhead in Hellraiser: Judgment (2018)! Paul was very candid with us and opened up about stuff he's never said in interviews before, and we are so honored that he shared these things with us! We had so much fun dishing about his career and dealing with various Hollywood personalities that we went over two hours with him! So, this is part one of our amazing interview with one of the nicest actors we've met! Enjoy!
