Episode 37 - Michael and Jason Leavy - Terrifier 1-3, Stream, Screamboat, Fuzz on the Lens Productions

Happy Halloween! On this episode I chat with Michael and Jason Leavy who are part of the team behind the TERRIFIER films, STREAM, the upcoming SCREAMBOAT, and their company Fuzz on the Lens Productions. We dive deep on their early film work, their Staten Island Clown prank that ended up getting national attention, working with cinema icons on their earlier feature ABNORMAL ATTRACTION, and of course the whole world of TERRIFIER and the family that has created these films that have revolutionized the industry by chainsawing through doors for independent cinema. A fun conversation captured in my room while at the Chiller Theater convention in New Jersey a week prior, and one that offers a lot of inspiration and insight for aspiring creatives. I also make an exciting announcement about joining another podcast, an update on my upcoming documentary film KUKSI, wax nostalgic about the Halloween nights of my youth, and more.
