This week we're joined by writer, director and cinematographer Ryan Glover! His latest film, the quietly haunting queer horror The Strings is playing on Shudder! This movie was Scarred for Life approved last year when it premiered at Salem Horror Fest and we're so happy that people are able to see it and that Ryan had time to sit down with us. We dig into his horror history, which Alien movie is his surprising second favorite, the days of Rent 7 at Blockbuster and the way the small budget led to some of The Strings' most haunting imagery. Then we dig into Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County, the UPN made-for-TV remake of The McPherson Tape! We discuss the 90s interest in aliens, the way TV would market alien things as real (e.g., Alien Autopsy) and why Alien Abduction terrified Ryan growing up. We also discuss the surprising ways this movie set the tone for found footage films just a few years later...Follow Ryan on Twitter. Follow Mary Beth, Terry and the Podcast on Twitter.
