HORROR MOVIE MILESTONES with Jo Kaplan, Junot Diaz, & Stephen Bissette
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
To celebrate the best holiday ever, I got together with author JO KAPLAN, author JUNOT DIAZ, and artist / writer / horror historian STEPHEN BISSETTE for an amazing round table discussion about the milestones of the horror movie genre. We start in 1908 and over the course of 2 hours we make our way to 2025 - covering the horror flicks that helped shape genre and left their mark on us all. It is an incredibly fun and insightful journey through the decades that I hope you enjoy as much we enjoyed doing it.
