Horror Hyperfixations

I am SO excited to see Employee of the Dead! When I first heard director Aaron Truss and some of the cast talk about the film, I knew I had to get involved and support the crowdfunding however I could. It turned out that not only are they a lovely bunch of people, who are as passionate about indie film as me, they are also a bunch of neurodivergent legends! No wonder I instantly got good vibes!Employee of the Dead is crowdfunding on Kickstarter now, with some amazing perks. Please back the project if you can and share on socials!Content warning: talk of death and suicideSocialsBack Employee of the Dead on Kickstarter - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/qcumberfilms/employee-of-the-dead-a-feature-length-comedy-horror Instagram: Employee of the Dead / Aaron Truss / Ellie-Rae Winstone / Nick Helm / Paul Casar / Dani Harmer / Nicholas Vince / Sean Cronin / Amy Bowden / Kevin Martin / Emily BoothInstagram: @horrorhyperfixations / @sam.munsterTiktok: @horrorhyperfixationsLetterboxd: @sammunsterPatreon: Sam MunsterBlog: Horror HyperfixationsHell on Shirts discount code: Munster10 (affiliate code)Logo design: Gibson Graphix

Hooray for the 50th episode of Horror Hyperfixations! David Sodergren joined me to talk about George A. Romero's Martin and whether we think Martin is a perfect allegory for autism.I didn't mean to sound so dramatic about editing some stuff out of the episode. It's not a big deal, just some personal stuff I didn't want to leave in :)Content warning: discussion of suicide, sexual assault and murder.SocialsDavid's Instagram / David's website / Heather's awesome cosplaysAn Autistic Horror Canon : Martin (1977, written and directed by George A.

Talking to my friend Mike about horror theatre was an absolute joy! We talked about some of our shared favourites, plays that I ABSOLUTELY HATED and why we think horror on stage is so effective.Full disclosure, my intro to this episode is quite teary and sad. I fully understand if you don't want to hear that bit, so please skip to about 4 minutes in, when my chat with Mike starts. I missed it in my new intro, but content warning - there is mention of a play being "a suicide note". There is no further discussion around this, but wanted to let you know :)SocialsMike - @AnAutisticGuideThroughHorror / An Autistic Guide Through Horror blogMike on The Geek Show, talking about Little Shop of HorrorsAn Autistic Horror Canon : Martin (1977, written and directed by George A.

I had the pleasure of chatting to the brilliant Jason Mohammad last week, while attending a podcast masterclass with the Jason Mohammad Academy and Screen Alliance Wales. We love a side-quest and we know I bloody love talking about being Welsh.It was such an awesome opportunity and I learned loads! I recorded in a proper studio for the first time, with a two camera set-up and separate audio track. A new editing challenge for me. Unfortunately, it was so hot that the cameras overheated at different points, so I’ve popped some stills in 🙈 I love talking to people about being Welsh and we had the most brilliant chat about Welsh cakes, siarad cymraeg, our favourite beaches, identifying fellow Welshies in the wild and whether Caroline Street is Chippy Lane.Shout-outs to Cardiff Bakestones for their Welsh cakes, Haven’t They Done Well? for the brilliant question I pinched from and WhoCult and Chapter for my imaginary perfect Welsh day.SocialsJason Mohammad on Instagram / Jason Mohammad Academy Instagram: @horrorhyperfixations / @sam.munsterTiktok: @horrorhyperfixationsLetterboxd: @sammunsterPatreon: Sam MunsterBlog: Horror HyperfixationsHell on Shirts discount code: Munster10 (affiliate code)Logo design: Gibson Graphix

The lovely Javid Rezai and Stella Talpo, Director and Producer and star of new "psycho-glitter" short The Belladonna joined me for a chat. We talked about Javid and Stella making movies together from the age of 7, a shared love of Paris Hilton (HONESTLY, the venn diagram of horror fans and Paris lovers is wild!) and ensuring a production remains authentic. A female-led, queer, indie horror film will always get my attention and it's a genuinely beautiful, moving short. Keep an eye out for it at a film festival near you!SocialsThe Belladonna on Instagram | Javid Rezai | Stella TalpoInstagram: @horrorhyperfixations / @sam.munsterTiktok: @horrorhyperfixationsLetterboxd: @sammunsterPatreon: Sam MunsterBlog: Horror HyperfixationsHell on Shirts discount code: Munster10 (affiliate code)Logo design: Gibson Graphix

I chatted to the wonderful Garreth Gibson of Gibson Graphix about being a neurodivergent artist, impressive collabs and getting turned down by Ben Stiller.
