Welcome back to Fright School! This week we welcome director (among many other things) Sam Irvin to the show! We discuss Sam's horror pedigree, his fanzine BIZARRE, and his books I WAS A TEENAGE MONSTER HUNTER: How I Met Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, & More! and The Epic Saga Behind FRANKENSTEIN: THE TRUE STORY! Joshua and Sam, who just so happens to have directed ELVIRA'S HAUNTED HILLS, reminisce about their trip to Romania with Cassandra Peterson aka Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. This week, we continue our Hammer Horror jaunt with BRIDES OF DRACULA! We discuss the Queerness of the film, connections to our discussion of Hitchcock's ROPE, Sam's changing relationship with the film, and some fun behind-the-scenes tidbits!
