In this special episode, John and Georgia spoke with writer, director, producer, composer, actor and all-around fine, upstanding Pennsylvanian, John Harrison. We discuss his 2023 novel, Passing Through Veils, which combines elements of gothic horror and modern thriller for an atmospheric, eerie, and suspenseful Shirley Jackson-meets-Alfred Hitchcock read. Mr. Harrison also shares insights and stories from his film and television career, his many experiences with bringing anthology horror to both the large and small screens (with Creepshow, Tales from the Darkside, and Tales from the Crypt), his work with George A. Romero, his approach to all creative film work as various ways to be a storyteller, and his advice for today's aspiring filmmakers. He also shares information on several upcoming projects we can look forward to from him in 2024 and beyond. We are thrilled to share this amazing talk with a true screen Renaissance man! Give it a listen!
