Welcome to the Spill your guts Christmas Special!
In this episode we are taking the deepest of dives into two iconic Christmas horror classics, "Silent Night Deadly Night" 1 & 2.
Joining me in this episode as my co-host is the esteemed Mr. Justin Beahm, as we explore the making-of and the legacy of these two holiday horror mainstays. I al...
S4E7 Steven C. Miller ( Director "Silent Night" "Werewolves")

In this episode we will be kicking off the first of two episodes celebrating Santa and the darkest evening of the year. This episode looking at the kick ass remake of a beloved Christmas horror classic and our next episode being our Christmas special where we have something very special under the tree for you. But I mustn’t say more than that right now.
On to the show!
My guest today makes lean, mean, kick ass horror films that get your blood pumping almost as much as it do...
S4E6 André Øvredal (Director "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" "The Last Voyage of the Demeter")

Apologies we’ve been out of commission for a couple weeks. Along with the cheer and merriment of the season comes flues, colds and coughs and basically our whole team was bed bound for a bit. If I still sound a bit scratchy, well hopefully it just adds to the shows creepy vibe. And having your voice drop an octave sounds good anyway right?
Well let’s get right into it shall we?
Our guest in this episode is one of the great visionary directors currently working in horror. His...
S4E5 Michael Leavy (Producer of "The Terrifier" series, Director of "Stream")

Another Halloween has come and gone, and I hope you all had sufficiently spooky time. Lots of candy and fake blood and sexy costumes…why can’t it be officially Halloween week?
Soon it will be that most festive of holidays and I have to say, I love that one as much (full disclosure maybe more) because the sinister side of Christmas is masked by the most wholesome of veneers. We’ll have lots of Christmas episodes for you unwrap but that’s still a couple weeks out so in the meantime, we return you to our regularly...
S4E4 Halloween Special 2024

Happy Halloween!!! Welcome to the annual Spill your guts Halloween special. I will be guiding you through this dark maze of tales filled with the ghastly and ghoulish. To celebrate this most fiendish of holidays we step away from our usual format to bring you tales of terror from various beloved writers and performers that we think make for a fun episode of the macabre and spooky that truly embraces the spirt of All Hallows’ Eve.
Before we get to our spine-tingling tales, I want to take a moment to talk with you about an important charity tha...
S4E3 Actor/Director Josh Stewart ("The Collector" "The Collection" "The Hunted")

The horror genre, particularly the slasher part of it, has a long-standing history of “final girls”. Many of them brilliant and iconic and for good reason. My guest today has had the rare privilege of becoming one of the few great final guys in a series that has established its place in the horror hall of fame.
He has also starred in many other horror films, most fiercely independent ones, and even directed one. He’s been in plenty of non-horror films as well including working with auteurs such as David Fincher and Christopher Nolan...
S4E2 Supermassive Games ("Until Dawn" "The Quarry" " The Casting of Frank Stone")

As we continue the countdown to All Hallows’ Eve, we have more in-depth chats with horrors best to keep you sated while binge-watching your favorite horror films (Great Pumpkin better be one of them). In this episode, we are taking a step away from the world of cinema to look at one of the most effective and captivating mediums for scaring the pants off you. The world of video games.
One of the studios responsible for giving us some of the best, including “Until Dawn”, “The Quarry” and the Dark Pictures series, is Supermassive Games. And in this episod...
Writer/Director Steven Kostanski is back! ("Psycho Goreman" "Frankie Freako")

Our first guest of season 4 has been on the show once before to discuss his work and the then recently released, now a genre favourite, “Psycho Goreman”. His work continues to be both a love letter to the 80’s genre films that inspired him but also a voice that is distinctly his own.
His newest film, “Frankie Freako”, about Connor, who bored with life, decides to shake things up by inviting some mischievous goblins into his home, has already become a hit on the festival circuit and hits theatres October 4th. I love the film and I...
Bonus from the Archives - Friday the 13th with Thom Mathews ("Friday the 13th 6: Jason Lives" "Return of the living dead"

Hello Spill your guts listeners! This is your host Kevin Lane wishing you a happy Friday the 13th!
The show will be returning with our season 4 premiere on October 1 but in the mean time, we thought it might be fun to celebrate this most unlucky of days by revisiting our season 1 episode with Jason Vorhees arch nemesis, Tommy Jarvis. In Friday the 13th part 6: Jason Lives, Tommy Jarvis and Jason have the ultimate showdown and though Tommy had been played by two other actors prior to Jason Lives, Thom Mathews has become synonymous with...
EP#315 Actor Julie Benz ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer", "Angel", "Dexter")

We’ll be taking a couple weeks to get things ready for a very VERY big season 4. Just wait until you see what we have in store for every horror fans favourite month of year. I’m so excited I could just burst! Like that guy in “Scanners”. What are some other movies where someone just bursts? Anyway, thank you to our amazing team and our sponsors, Audio Process and Cinema 1, for another season of sitting down with horrors best and brightest and spilling guts.
Now, let’s get into it.
For any...
