They'll be talking to special effects and makeup artist Howard Berger (Day of the Dead, The People Under the Stairs, Army of Darkness, The Walking Dead, Kill Bill, and many more), and although they usually interview a wide range of creators in the horror industry, coincidentally they’ll be releasing interviews with two more special effects and makeup artists within the following weeks: Gino Acevedo (Alien 3, Wolf, Death Becomes Her, Godzilla, King Kong, Black Sheep) and Luke Hawker (Krampus, Forgive Us All, M3GAN 2.0, Alien: Romulus). Hawker is also a stuntman, motion capture artist, and fight scene choreographer.
The meat of each interview covers their guest’s exposure to horror media, from childhood through adulthood, with an emphasis on digging up the deeper psychological reasons that guest, as an individual, loves horror. Cohosts Steve Becker and Chris Whitman hope that after interviewing enough horror fans some interesting trends will arise, ones that could be handed back to mainstream academia. As they say in their excerpts on their Youtube channel, "There are good reasons for enjoying horror – but what are those reasons? The real reasons? Not the ones horror fans learn to make people leave them alone."
