Episode Notes

On this episode of ScreenRun, The Lady Wan and Chris Scalzo are joined by Darren Lundberg of NostalgiaCast to discuss John Carpenter’s follow-up to ‘Halloween’, ‘The Fog’. The ghost/revenge story of a doomed ship full of ill folks desperate to find a place to settle, and the townsfolk that done them wrong. While the film didn’t repeat the runaway success of his prior film, ‘The Fog’ was a hit and to this day carries a warm, wet, sea-faring affection for its fans and has become a cult classic. 40+ years later, how does this deceptively simple ghost story hold up?

SR Ep. 6: The Thing

On this episode of Screen Run, The Lady Wan and Chris are joined by Scalzo’s The First Run co-host, Matt Howell to discuss ‘The Thing’. Considered to be John Carpenter’s masterpiece, his reimagining of the original source material was considered a disappointment upon its release in 1982. It has since been recognized as one of the greatest horror films of all time. Does it still hold up? Of course it does. But it’s still a fun conversation!
