About Freaks and Psychos: The Disability in Horror Podcast
Andread and guests dive into the wonderful and complicated world of disability representation in horror movies and literature in the horror genre, bringing insights from scholars and fans of the genre. Released every other Sunday.
AnDread interviews director Daniel Lane Baker, writer Benjamin Roberts, and actor Daniel Aaron Harris to discuss their horror short Able Bodies. We discuss how incorporating the real experiences of disabled people (Harris has cerebral palsy, and Baker and Roberts have their own personal experiences with disability as well) and centering disability changes the story they tell.
