• Ep 74 Author Philip Fracassi ("Boys in the Valley" "The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre")

  Horror fiction is thriving like never before, and one of the genre’s most exciting voices right now is Philip Fracassi. A best-selling author and Bram Stoker Award nominee, Fracassi has earned a reputation for creating stories that feel timeless, primal, and downright unsettling. His breakout novel Boys in the Valley—often described as “Lord of the Flies meets The Exorcist”—is a brutal, unforgettable journey that shows just how far he’s willing to push horror while still keeping readers glued to the page.Now he’s back with The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre, a book that delivers on its wild title while also offering layered characters, shocking twists, and the kind of atmosphere only Fracassi can create. In this episode, we dive into his process, his inspirations, and the craft of writing horror fiction—offering insights that will appeal not just to fans, but also to aspiring writers looking to sharpen their own work. Join us as we step into the rabbit hole with one of today’s most powerful voices in horror fiction: Philip Fracassi. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

• Ep 73 Filmmaker George Mihalka ("My Bloody Valentine")

  As most of us are preparing for the most wonderful time of the year (the Jack-o'-lantern one…not the Bells and Holly one), Spill Your Guts is taking this episode to the day of romance and cupid and dead flowers wrapped up nicely. And there is no horror film more associated with Valentine’s Day than “My Bloody Valentine”. This 1981 classic has become seminal title in the pantheon of horror and did for Valentine’s Day what John Carpenter’s enduring masterpiece “Halloween” and “Friday the 13th” did for the respective dates. My Bloody Valentine has endured the test of time and become regular viewing every Valentine’s Day for horror fans. It’s also Quentin Tarantino’s favorite slasher film. High praise…and well deserved. However, the film faced more than its share of challenges in both production and release and was considered a flop (if it was considered at all). There’s a long and compelling story to how “My Bloody Valentine” became the classic it is today with action figures, comics, a novel adaptation and even a board game. Joining me to delve into the film as well as his career as a real journeyman filmmaker is My Bloody Valentine's masterful director, George Mihalka. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

• E72 Best Selling Author Christopher Golden ("Road of Bones" "All Hallows" "The End of the World as we know it"

  Welcome back to Spill Your Guts! I’m your host, Kevin Lane. We took some time over the summer to recalibrate and get ahead of creating a hell of a lineup for all our listeners. We've been doing Spill Your Guts for over 80 episodes now, and I can safely say that this is going to be some of our best. We are also doing a literary series with the biggest authors in horror fiction. It's a very exciting time for horror readers, as there are so many brilliant and diverse authors out there, creating stories that are reshaping the genre and what we've come to expect.This episode features one such author. Christopher Golden is a New York Times bestselling author and Bram Stoker Award winner, and he's become a household name in horror fiction with masterfully written novels such as "Snowblind", "Ararat", "Road of Bones", "All Hallows", and "The Nightbirds", to name a few.His work moves like a runaway train of terror and atmosphere that has caused me to read most of them in one sitting. There are few authors working that can compete with Christopher in creating the pace and atmosphere that he does. We also discuss his new anthology book, which he co-edited with Brian Keene, based in the world of Stephen King's iconic "The Stand", of which King himself gave the book his blessing. It's a must-have book for King fans, and really anyone who loves horror. It features stories from a long list of the greatest writers working in the genre today. The book is called "The End of the World as we know it", and is available now. So let's explore the worlds of frosty ghosts, spectral savage wolves, the true darkness of Halloween, and the scariest witches I have ever encountered in the history of horror.
