Other Backrooms: The Liminal And The Uncanny!

With the success of BACKROOMS, we decided to open the discussion to "the liminal and the uncanny" when it comes to the horror genre! What are other examples that use liminal spaces (or purgatory) as their backdrop? From the recent EXIT 8, to Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Japanese masterpiece PULSE, to Kubrick's THE SHINING, or Vincenzo Natali's debut CUBE. And of course, David Lynch and his repeated obsession with the liminal! Also: an update on HITCHCOCKIAN THRILLERS, and the work of Anthony Perkins! Hosted by Rob Galluzzo, Mike Cucinotta, Jason Alvino, and Adam Barnick. Opening theme song is "I Came To Kill" by Late Night Horror Show, written and performed by Clint Carney. BUY THE BOOK!

Spooky World with David Bertolino!

Icons Of Fright is celebrating a bit of horror haunt history with this week's special guest David Bertolino, the creator of SPOOKY WORLD, the subject of the documentary SPOOKTACULAR! And now author of the book BEHIND THE SCREAMS AT SPOOKY WORLD! Back in 1991, David had the vision to start America's first "horror" themed park, starting with a haunted hayride and later evolving to mazes designed by legendary FX artist Tom Savini, the first of the celebrity signings with Butch Patrick, Kane Hodder, and Linda Blair. And influenced just about every horror attraction from Universal's Halloween Horror Nights to Knott's Scary Farm and beyond! We dig into all of this and more! Hosted by Rob Galluzzo, Mike Cucinotta, Jason Alvino, and Adam Barnick. Opening theme song is "I Came To Kill" by Late Night Horror Show, written and performed by Clint Carney. BUY THE BOOK!
