Think the real-life scares of 2020 have in any way diminished filmmakerEli Roth’s love for the horror genre?
They give you a safe place to vent.
I mean, I watchedContagionright away.
It feels good to get scared and then let it out of your system.
I actually feel better after watching a terrifying horror film."
Season 1 featured episodes about vampires, zombies, and a two-parter about slasher films.
What has Roth scared up for season 2?
“We could go a little deeper this season,” says Roth.
“We get into killer kids or ‘chilling children,’ as we called them.
We got to go into witches and body horror.
We have a whole monster episode.
We go into houses of hell.
And then I have one called the ‘Nightmare Nine.’
They were just films I wanted to cover.
We get intoPiecesandCannibal Holocaust.
So, its really really fun.”
“We just went down a rabbit hole.”
“We interviewed Joel for our vampires episode,” says Roth.
“I love Joel so much.
We got him twice and we were able to combine both of those interviews into one podcast.
Theres an amazing interview with Megan Fox talking aboutJennifers Body.
Theres some fantastic conversations.”
