Feedback

On this episode of Post Apocalypse, Feedback and Lance read some listener mail and review the Jeff Leroy low fidelity, high concept sci-fi horror epic Rat Scratch Fever (as featured in Lance’s Last Rites column from Rue Morgue #126).

And on behalf of all of us involved with The Rue Morgue Podcast, I’d like to thank everyone who voted for us in the Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards. We came in second place in the multimedia category behind the YouTube series Fright Bytes.

Honorable mentions also went to The Projection Booth podcast and Tomb Dragomir’s very own Tomb TV!

And while we strongly appreciate your support, unfortunately, second place wasn’t good enough to thwart the inevitable video atrocities that will ensue when I’m forced to film Lance Chance Lance serenading his ferrets with Build Me Up Buttercup (with Kayvon Zahedi providing back-up vocals).

It wouldn’t be much of a threat if we weren’t willing to execute it, right?

But congrats to all the winners and nominess, especially Rue Morgue (Best Magazine) and John Bowen (Best Column) for their respective wins!

Shortly before the release of his narrative feature debut, I recorded a fun little chat with filmmaker Sascha Gervasi who made the remarkable leap from making the Anvil doc to directing Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren in Hitchcock, the biopic about the making of Psycho.

If you’re a regular listener to this show, you’ve probably heard Lance and I rave about this flick. But on this episode, we also get into Sascha’s amazing story about his life-changing encounter with the late, diminutive French actor Herve Villechaize (of Fantasy Island and The Man With The Golden Gun fame). It’s an incredible tale you have to hear to believe!

You guys are in for a treat. This is one of the most hilarious bits of audio we’ve ever grabbed for the podcast – Bruce Campbell’s Q&A at the 2009 Festival of Fear in Toronto.

A few excerpts ran on Rue Morgue Radio back in the day but here for the first time anywhere, is the full one-hour version.

As Women In Horror Month draws to a close, I’m reaching back into the archives to bring you my Q&A with one of the most adorable scream queens in the history of horror movies, the lovely Ms. Linda Blair recorded at the Rue Morgue Festival of Fear in 2006.

A brief excerpt ran on Rue Morgue Radio back in the day but here for the very first time anywhere, is the full 30 minute interview.
