Make It Weird Wednesday: Puppets, Wolves and the Blair Witch Playbook
Davey explores local horror connections, examines cinematic marketing strategies, discusses notable films, and highlights upcoming projects in the horror genre.
Davey kicks things off with a Blair Witch story close to home: the real Rustin Parr house from the movie’s ending stood in his own neighborhood. He looks at how a new horror movie is borrowing that famous marketing playbook, then gets into the 2,000-pound puppet behind Resident Evil, the real medieval wolf hunt behind Robert Eggers’ Werwulf, horror sequels going back to their original creators, and the story of the most hated horror sequel ever made.
Grab a drink and get comfy. New episodes every Wednesday.
