Shadow People is out from Anchor Bay this week. It’s a most unusual horror film that blends real documentary information with a standard horror film. At issue is something called Sudden Unexplained Nocturnal Death Syndrome. If you want to know more about the syndrome and/or the film, you’re in luck. I had a chance to speak with Director/Writer Matthew Arnold. Check out what he has to say about this interesting experience. Bang it here to listen to my chat with Matthew Arnold

One of the joys of my life has been some of the people I have met and developed a relationship with over the years in the film industry. I regret that I never had the opportunity to meet some of the actors who are no longer with us. At the top of that list is Boris Karloff. To me, there is absolutely no equal in horror filmdom. Over the years I’ve had quite a few chances to hang out with Sara Karloff, his daughter. I’m happy to count her a friend. She was very instrumental in getting me some attention for my tribute song Man Created A Man. She has inherited that kind generosity that Boris was so known for. On Wednesday, the 13th, appropriately enough, I had the chance to talk with Sara again. Thanks to the Image release of the great television series Thriller, we got together once again to chat about Boris Karloff. This time you get to eavesdrop, and you won’t even have to swear out a warrant. Bang it here to listen to my chat with Sara Karloff: Sara Karloff Interview
That's me in the middle with Sara Karloff and Ron Chaney. Yes, that's Talbot's Cane from the original Wolfman
