Inside Iron Lung's Blood-Soaked FX (w Jason Vines)

I sit down with special effects makeup artist and prop fabricator Jason Vines to talk about his work on Iron Lung, the indie horror hit known for its practical effects and massive use of blood. We get into Jason's career in horror and filmmaking, including work on Fear the Walking Dead, Bloodfest, Spy Kids: Armageddon, Alita: Battle Angel, and more, along with the strange history and craft of blood effects in horror films. Jason shares stories from years of working with blood on film sets, including different formulas, techniques, failures, and the tricks that make practical gore effects feel real on screen. If you're into practical effects, horror filmmaking, and what goes into creating memorable gore effects, this one gets deep into it. Subscribe… it's safer that way.

A Tale of Two Witches (w/ Marisa Grimes)

I sit down with Marisa Grimes to talk horror, upcoming releases in May, and our shared history at Texas Frightmare Weekend. This episode also features a round of Bone Deep and the first edition of "This Week in Horror," where I share the movies I'm most excited to see this month. It's a look at what it's like when the show ends and I'm spending time with friends. Marisa also shares a bit about her work as an ECMO specialist and what that world looks like.
