SCREAM DREAMS is the show that delves into our most vivid dreams and nightmares, and how they affect our lives and work.

Show hosts are Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier, Return to Nuke 'Em High), James A Janisse (Kill Count, Dead Meat Podcast) and Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator, Suitable Flesh).

We hope you’ve all had a relaxing holiday. Join us for a very chill end-of-year conversation with an amazing actor/singer Tracie Thoms.

Tracie discusses her stage work, Julliard, high notes, looking after your voice and how it changes with age. She talks about being the newcomer in a Broadway show, imposter syndrome, crippling stage fright and transitioning “Rent” from stage to screen – a film which also made Catherine want to move to New York City.

We find out Tracie’s top horror films. She also discusses working on Tarantino films, and talks Jordan Peele, the real meaning of “Get Out” for black people, and her experiences of casting as a person of color. Tracie’s nightmares include terrifying encounters with dead relatives (prompting James to actually remember a nightmare he had!). We discuss weird animatronic Halloween decorations, and Tracie’s very specific routine for getting to sleep.

In this week’s Side Barb, Barbara talks about her LA-based social ‘girl group’, which Tracie and Catherine are both part of. Skelly Sam gets a mini work-out in our Nightmare Story Game!

We really welcome your Feedback - please let us know what you think of the show so far in the comments, suggest any fun nightmare games we might play, as well as future guests you’d like to see on the show!
