Episode 232: Haunted Ulster Live Filmmaker Dominic O'Neill and Psycho 2 (1983)

Scarred For Life

This week we chat with writer/director Dominic O'Neill, the filmmaker behind Haunted Ulster Live. Mary Beth and Terry saw Haunted Ulster Live at Unnamed Footage Festival and it recently played at Panic Fest and we both fell in love with it. We chat about making the film, working with the fantastic leads, the incredibly quick shooting timeline and its inspirations before diving into Dominic's horror history. And then it all leads to Psycho 2, a sequel that freaking rocks. We talk gender identity, knives to mouths, Anthony Perkins' life and ultimately why this movie traumatized Dominic growing up.

If you haven't seen Psycho 2, please watch it. It's a gem of a film and we, of course, spoil everything.

You can follow Haunted Ulster Live on Twitter and Instagram. It'll be getting a release later this year, so make sure you're following so you can keep track of its release plans.
