Horror Movie Survival Guide
Horror Movie Survival Guide is a weekly podcast where two long time chums (and unlikely gorehounds) watch and talk about horror films from a survival point of view. We ask the question - how can *we* end up as the final girl? Join Julia Marchese and Teri Gamble as we take a deep dive into everything from OG horror to newly released films (but preferably classics on VHS). We'll talk about obscure details that no one else notices, spin off into alternate casting universes, crush on some foxy, dodgy fellows (and creepy uncles), and arm ourselves with the knowledge necessary to become The Final Girl!

HMSG Interview Jack Bennett - "Brain Damage!"
HMSG Interview Jack Bennett - "Brain Damage!"
This week we chat about the Frank Henenlotter film, BRAIN DAMAGE (1988) with JACK BENNETT - fabulous filmmaker and friend of the show!
We bonded with Bennett over his love for weird and wonderful things and the delightful practical effects used in this cult classic.
Jack Bennett started his career as a DIY writer-director in Southwest Virginia, alternating self-produced narrative films with work as a for-hire cameraman and editor. After his horror movie CAPRICE played the international film festival circuit in 2010, Jack relocated to Los Angeles and has built a body of work across a variety of genres. His recent directing credits include the horror shorts GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE'S A CRITIC and A GOOD SCREAM, the concert films MR. BUNGLE: THE NIGHT THEY CAME HOME and ANTHRAX XL, the feature-length NEVER SURRENDER: A GALAXY QUEST DOCUMENTARY, music videos for Brian Posehn's comedy/metal record GRANDPA METAL and a documentary tribute to the life and legend of music icon Meat Loaf.
Bennett has produced and conducted on-camera interviews with such luminaries as Sigourney Weaver, Keanu Reeves, Sam Rockwell, Christopher Lloyd, John Carpenter, Rob Zombie, Slash and Academy Award-winning Breaking Bad/Rain Man producer Mark Johnson, among others, and contributed to convention panels as moderator and guest at Comic Con, FanX, Monsterpalooza, Days of the Dead and Rock & Shock.
We hope you enjoy this fresh jam-packed episode!
