Horror Hyperfixations - Horror in Wales

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.

Horror Hyperfixations - Captured Souls with Chris Collier

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.

Horror Hyperfixations - Chronic illness and body horror with Sick Girl Films

The brilliant Olivia and Lucy from Sick Girl Films joined me to talk about their upcoming fundraising event, the Sick Girl Party, in London on Saturday 9th May. We also talked about making film events more accessible, how we (sadly!) relate to body horror and share our own experiences of being chronically ill. I'm super grateful to Liv and Lucy for being vulnerable, helping raise awareness and providing a community for fellow sick girls.

Horror Hyperfixations - Broken Bird with Joanne Mitchell

I chatted with Joanne Mitchell about her debut feature, Broken Bird. It's a gorgeous film that's dark, emotional, funny and disturbing - I absolutely love it. We talked about turning the short, Sybil, into a feature, women in horror and the depiction of mental health in the film. BROKEN BIRD will be in US cinemas on 26th April and available to rent or buy in the UK via Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Google TV from 7th May Socials Broken Bird [https://www.instagram.com/brokenbird_film/] / Joanne Mitchell [https://www.instagram.com/joannemitchellb/] Instagram: @horrorhyperfixations [https://www.instagram.com/horrorhyperfixations/] / @sam.munster [https://www.instagram.com/sam.munster/] Tiktok: @horrorhalloweenandhome [https://www.tiktok.com/@horrorhalloweenandhome] Letterboxd: @sammunster [https://boxd.it/2ipzb] Patreon: Sam Munster [https://www.patreon.com/Sammunster?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator] Blog: Sam Munster [https://sammunster.wordpress.com/] Hell on Shirts [https://hellonshirts.com/discount/MUNSTER10] discount code: Munster10 [https://hellonshirts.com/discount/MUNSTER10] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Horror Hyperfixations - A Hand to Hold with Philip Clyde-Smith and Eliza Power

I chatted to Eliza Power and Philip Clyde-Smith, the writer and director of new comedy horror short A Hand to Hold. We talked about "grief porn", working with Frances Barber and favourite 80s horror movies. Moira, an elderly Irish woman, finds herself literally attached to her deceased husband Patrick. When his hand refuses to let go after death, it leads to increasingly grotesque events. Everyone in the couple’s orbit, from their daughter to the local doctor, a farmer, a priest, and a Satanist, all try to intervene with horrific consequences. 'A Hand to Hold' blends horror with pitch-black Irish comedy, exploring themes of grief and toxic relationships. The film features an original score by Golden Globe nominated composer Brian Byrne. A Hand to Hold will be showing at the following film festivals. Keep an eye out, it's a wonderfully brilliant film!
