Description
This week we chat with Addison Heimann! He's the writer/director behind the queer horror film Hypochondriac, which is currently in theaters and will be on VOD on August 5th. We chat about his childhood watching horror TV shows and how he finally got into horror movies, as well as his relationship to the genre growing up. Then we talk about mental health and breakdowns and how Hypochondriac pulls from very real and very personal situations. Then we dig into a classic, Scream 2. We discuss when we all first saw it, why it was so terrifying for Addison growing up and why it has resonated so much. We dig into the operatic nature of the film, the way it's one of our favorites but requires the first one, the deaths, the tragedy, Derek's singing, the over-the-top theater department, the set pieces...so much. Follow Addison on Instagram. And check out Hypochondriac if it's playing near you and you feel safe to do so.
