This week, we finally sit down with Prince Jackson, the co-host of the Knight Light: A Horror Movie Podcast and an aspiring screenwriter. We talk about his life growing up with an older sibling who'd torture him with movies, his revenge on his brother, his time learning to be a mortician, the last film that truly scared him and his creative endeavors. And then we say his name five times and summon Candyman (1992)! We talk about its problematic history, the real life events it was partially based on, why it terrified Prince (And Terry's friend Amy), the impeccable score and so much more as we dissect the film and sing praises for Nia DaCosta's sequel.

During the episode, we mention the real life event that somewhat inspired the film and you can read the indepth report of "They Came in Through the Bathroom Mirror" here.

You can follow Prince on Twitter, as well as his podcast.

We're still really tired on this week's Little Cuts! But we still talk about movies, like The Innocents, The Andy Baker Tape, Duyster, Landlocked, Dawning, and The Dawn Breaks Behind The Eyes. Then, as the end of our folk horror journey, we chat about Edge of the Knife, a First Nations film in the endangered language Haida.

Next episode we're starting our series on horror comedies!

Next Episode

Little Cuts 73: Ch-Ch-Ch-Chiiiiiiiiiiick!

This week on Little Cuts, we're talking scary music, scary superhero movies, scary men and scary country music. And then we get a little silly by starting our journey through the history of the Horror Comedy.

We're doing something a little different with our "Journey through" series. We're going to go through horror comedies starting from the beginning and working up. We're both a little unfamiliar with a lot of the early stuff so if you have examples or recommendations, please let us know! And since we just decided to start doing this, we're going a little out of order and going back to 1930s in the next episode...so like you can turn it into a game and in the future listen to that episode first or something. I don't know, I don't live your life.

Things we discussed this week:

Men

Ethel Cain's album "Preacher's Daughter"

Lingua Ignota's concert

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

Torn Hearts

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.
