You might not know the name Sandy King, but she’s been a crucial part of some of the best genre films of the past 40 years. She’s worked with her husband, John Carpenter for almost as long as a script supervisor, producer, and the first woman founder of a comic publishing house. In its 10th year of operations, Storm King Productions puts out horror comics for all kinds along with a slew of writers and artists, including Carpenter, Steve Niles, and Duane Swiercyznski.
King is also the executive producer, along with Carpenter, on “Suburban Screams,” a new series on Peacock about the evil at your front door. Each of the 6 episodes feature an interview subject intercut with the scripted reenactment of their true horror story. Here, King discusses a range of topics, including Storm King, working on set, and the true life horror of “Suburban Screams,” as well as the fictional horrors of Carpenter classics like “In the Mouth of Madness” and “They Live.” It still counts as fiction, right..?

Legionnaires fighting hordes of wolf creatures with elemental magic. Steampunk pirates having aerial dogfights while magic crystals blast around all around them. A hard-boiled Chicago P.I. using his wizard training to see if a race of vampires killed a member of one of the fae courts.
Also, talking cats! Skulls, too. Really just one skull named Bob.
Welcome to the worlds of bestselling author Jim Butcher, who loves to write about things that talk, but shouldn’t. Butcher has been exploring the realms of fantasy and horror for over 20 years, while putting his own spin on each one. His latest book, released next month from Penguin, is “The Olympian Affair,” book 2 in his steampunk series “The Cinder Spires.” Butcher had a conversation with me at this year's New York Comic Con, where we talked about his new book and everything else under the sun, from airships on down.

When it comes to the eternal battle between good and evil, demons just have more fun. This is the conceit of the upcoming tabletop card game, “Demoniac” by Steven Tartick. For the uninitiated, a demoniac is a person possessed by demons. Your Reagans, your Emily Roses, your…everyone from “The Evil Dead.” Here, Tartick sat down with me to discuss staying creative during the pandemic,, his love of possession movies and tabletop games, collaborating with local game creators, and the time I watched him do a magic trick that made someone run out the room.

Trying new things can be scary. As Eduardo Sánchez recently discovered, they can also be absolutely hilarious. Sánchez is best known for being a co-director of “The Blair Witch Project,” but he’s been directing horror for over 2 decades, including a segment in this year’s horror anthology “Satanic Hispanics.” Dipping his toe into the horror comedy subgenre, Sánchez’s “El Vampiro” is a slapstick comedy about a vampire who has to make it home before Daylight Savings.

This week marks 35 years since the release of “A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master.” Helmed by future blockbuster director Renny Harlin, “Dream Master” was a massive hit, known for being louder, brighter, quippier, and just BIGGER than any entry in the series before or since. While the film is memorable for its special effects, including several eye-popping deaths, it also introduced us to one of the best Final Girls in horror, Alice Johnson, played by Lisa Wilcox.

As “Dead Mouse Productions,” Gary Smart and Christopher Griffiths have been making horror documentaries for a decade. You may have seen their comprehensive retrospectives “You’re So Cool, Brewster: The Story of Fright Night,” “Leviathan: The Story of Hellraiser and Hellraiser II” or their recent “Pennywise: The Story of It.” Dead Mouse’s latest doc, “Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story,” is a slight change of pace that focuses on the career of one actor. Smart and Griffiths sat down to discuss their latest film, how documentary filmmaking has changed since they started, and the “Zelig”-like career of the iconic Robert Englund.

Over the past few years, some of the most recognized horror directors have emerged from the comedy world. Audiences couldn’t have imagined established comedic actors like Jordan Peele and John Krasinski were capable of bringing us horror films, let alone major hits like “Get Out” and “A Quiet Place.” Now Joe Lo Truglio (“The State,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Wet Hot American Summer”) has written and directed Outpost, a psychological horror film starring his wife, and fellow comedian Beth Dover. I was lucky enough to talk to Lo Truglio about the film, wanting to make a horror film since he was 13, and the perils of shooting an indie movie on a mountain. We discuss some minor spoilers towards the end, but we’ll keep it vague. You don’t want this one ruined for you.
