Deadly Doses Chapter 26 When Horror is a Family Business- Meet the Adams

In this episode, it's clear that when a family slays together, they most certainly stay together. With one of the most unique and dynamic approaches to filmmaking, please welcome the Adams Family of Wonderwheel Productions. Joining us on the show, Toby, John and their daughter Zelda discuss their combined love of horror and what led to them picking up the camera and making movies. With their most recent feature HELLBENDER currently streaming on Shudder, folk horror is high on the agenda along with what it's like to grow up on a horror film set, making films during the lockdown and balancing "in your face" gore with the more subtle terror of grief and loss. Films discussed include- HELLBENDER (dir. Zelda Adams, Toby Poser, John Adams, 2021 ) THE VVITCH (dir.Robert Eggers, 2015 ) THE WRESTLER (dir.Darren Aronofsky, 2008 ) Check out the Adams at Wonderwheel Productions. com
