After discussing their relationship to horror as a child and adult and how that's evolved, we talk about their writing, their education and their passion for digging deep into a subject. Then we turn our attention to Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, a tale of horror, race, class and toons that has managed to leave a lasting impression in both Dani and Terry's lives.
