Horror Hyperfixations

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.

Join me and Charley Errington live, laugh, lurking in the woods as we get curious (and thirsty 😏🥵) about cryptids. We talk about folklore and fairytales, mythical (or are they?!) monsters and the importance of neurodivergent friendships.Sorry! There are some little pops on the audio - I couldn’t hear it at the time 😫 It’s not too bad - I just noticed when I listened on headphones. Cryptid movies Letterboxd list - https://boxd.it/V8aLcMothman being cute and awkward in the supermarket - https://youtu.be/y78baHPu3VE?is=ulhPeEIQf8urczgASocialsCharley: @charley_horror on IG / @charley_horror on TikTokInstagram: @horrorhyperfixations / @sam.munsterTiktok: @horrorhyperfixationsLetterboxd: @sammunsterPatreon: Sam MunsterBlog: Horror HyperfixationsHell on Shirts discount code: Munster10 (affiliate code)Logo design: Gibson Graphix

Jess from Hell on Shirts is one of my favourite people in the horror community and we just had a big ole gab! We ranted about AI, talked about our shared love of Universal Studios and the many challenges of running a small business.

Bore da pawb! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 I’m fully in my “I am obsessed with Wales and Welshness” era, so spoke to some of my favourite people about horror in Wales. I had some brilliant conversations about the horror community, events and opportunities, as well as the challenges of funding for the arts in Wales. I spoke to Tom Hughes of Ritual Video, Nia Edwards-Behi of Abertoir, James Plumb of Mad Science Films and Tomos Rowlands and Chad Jones of Rhyller Thriller 💚 I’ve also put together a Letterboxd list of the films we discussed - https://letterboxd.com/sammunster/list/horror-hyperfixations-welsh-horror/SocialsInstagram: @horrorhyperfixations / @sam.munsterTiktok: @horrorhalloweenandhomeLetterboxd: @sammunsterPatreon: Sam MunsterBlog: Sam MunsterHell on Shirts discount code: Munster10Logo design: Gibson Graphix

Captured Souls is an incredible documentary, that I fell in love with at FrightFest last year. I had the pleasure of chatting to the film's director, Chris Collier, about his documentary films, my love of split diopter shots (I forgot to mention in the intro how fucking STOKED I was at how many split diopter shots there were in Lee Cronin's The Mummy!) and Graham Humphreys' incredible career.Pre-order Captured Souls and FrightFest: Beneath the Dark Heart of Cinema at https://24footsquare.com/Captured Souls screening and Q&A, Tyneside Cinema, Friday 8th May: https://tynesidecinema.co.uk/event/captured-souls-in-conversation-with-graham-humphreys/SocialsChris Collier on IGInstagram: @horrorhyperfixations / @sam.munsterTiktok: @horrorhalloweenandhomeLetterboxd: @sammunsterPatreon: Sam MunsterBlog: Sam MunsterHell on Shirts discount code: Munster10Logo design: Gibson Graphix
