   Episode 134: What's so Funny?

   Horror comedies have been around since the early days of cinema, and they've always been a mixed bag. Almost always, horror takes a backseat in boring parodies. But a new breed of imaginative movies is changing how horror and humor mix in one film. Gorier, wilder, and unafraid to be absurd, these movies are a new subgenre that is turning heads!

   Episode 132: Rise From the Ashes- Izzy Lee and Her 'House of Ashes'

   Izzy Lee is a take-no-prisoners indie filmmaker whose 20-plus genre short films garnered praise from Fangoria, Dread Central, the A.V. Club, and EW.com. And then came the pandemic. However Izzy Lee rose from the ashes and came back tougher than ever, with her first published novella (I Can See Your Lies) and her feature-length film directorial debut, HOUSE OF ASHES. Join me as Izzy talks about creative influences, the art of the short film, making friends while making art, and the mission statement for genre films during uncertain times, where fact is scarier than fiction. I hope you enjoy the show! Moves Discussed: House of Usher (1960) The Pit and the Pendulum (1961) An American Werewolf in London (1981) Blood and Black Lace (1964) Suspiria (1977) House of Ashes (2024) Rites of Vengeance (short) (2017) Meat Friend (short) (2022)
