Oh hey! This thing on? Uh, hi!

We're not dead. We have five recorded episodes already up our sleeves and it's time to reopen all those wounds, starting with Neil Marshall (!!!!!!) and Janine Pipe.

Monday!

Until then enjoy our sexy song by Sean Keller and video by Eric Power, both former guests!

Also I just love sharing this music video created by Eric Power, music by Sean Keller, just for our little show. I think it goes together beautifully.

I got to talk to Neil Marshall. I got to ask him about the UK/US endings of The Descent. We got to spend a little of time on his Scarred for Life pick. I'm mad I forgot to talk to him about how much I love doomsday. But dang. I pinch myself moments like this.

Got to chat with one of my favorite horror authors writing today and we're scheduled to chat with the director of one of my favorite movies.

@scarredpodcast.bsky.social is kind of on a mini hiatus but we'll have some episodes heading your way (including both of these) in between our full comeback.

Hey guys. Terry here. I had kind of a rough father's day. It went fine, mostly, but then took some turns and long story short had to take care of some things. Everyone's okay but I'm having a rough night so we are probably going to postpone tomorrow's episode a week. Sorry friends.

I will always talk Alien and my first experience with it, but Paul's story about his first watch takes the cake. Might be the best Scarred for Life experience.

With the announcement of #ResidentEvil 9 and Maggie Robertson showing up at #SummerGameFest, you should go back to our episode and interview with Maggie. If you ever wanted to know what movie scared Lady Dimitrescu herself as a child, now's the time!

I tried to figure out the moral and have so many questions about the snake oil salesmen and why the townsfolk hate Pete. We laughed a lot discussing this wild movie.
This week @mbmcandrews.bsky.social and @gaylydreadful.bsky.social chat with David Joseph Craig and Brian Crano about their queer dark comedy I Don't Understand You, their horror history and why Pete's Dragon terrified David growing up. We have lots of questions about Pete's Dragon.

We were supposed to record @scarredpodcast.bsky.social Little Cuts tonight. Was going to send out the link to watch live. But I ended up leaving work at lunch time sick and without a voice. 🫠
