Welcome back to the shadows.
Philip Gelatt is joined by Morgan Galen King and bestselling horror author Stephen Graham Jones for a conversation that goes far beyond horror novels.
The episode begins by revisiting the making of First Word on Horror, as Stephen shares his favorite memories from filming, reflects on the experience of being interviewed for the documentary, and discusses the unique interview setup that made the conversations feel unlike any other documentary he’d participated in. It’s a thoughtful look behind the scenes at how one of the series’ most memorable episodes came together.
From there, the discussion turns to Stephen’s creative process, why he intentionally avoids writing rituals, the story behind the title My Heart Is a Chainsaw, and his surprisingly deep love of Bob Seger, including his quest to someday become Spotify’s number one Bob Seger listener. As always, the conversation wanders in the best possible ways.
For Movie Club, Stephen brings Snake Eyes and One Night at McCool’s, sparking a lively discussion about Brian De Palma, Rashomon-inspired storytelling, Nicolas Cage, overlooked cult films, and the kinds of movies that continue to influence great storytellers.
