New Year, New You

Movie Review by Wes Forsythe

In honor of the New Year and this new feature of ScarefestRadio.com, this week’s Movies and Cocktails features New Year, New You from Hulu’s Into The Dark series.Let me start off by saying that this is a chick’s horror/thriller movie. The first half of the movie is absolutely loaded down with estrogen enriched girl talk, punctuated by FOREBODING. Continue reading “New Year, New You”

Cocktails & A Movie

I’ve been wanting to write reviews of movies and television shows forever. I just never could seem to find the time or energy to get my thoughts on paper. I’ve been involved in at least two media projects simultaneously almost since I entered the online entertainment business years ago.Now that Scarefest Radio is my only media venture, and that venture almost by definition requires that I watch the same movies and television shows as my viewers do, I figured “what the hell”. Let’s just fold it neatly under the Scarefest Radio banner and see what happens. Continue reading “Cocktails & A Movie”

Scarefest Radio Annual Holiday Train Wreck SF12 E15

Why do they do this every year? For the fun of it! This year host Wes Forsythe is joined by his revolving co-hosts Brandon Griffith, Coyote Chris Sutton, Holly LaFavers, and Billy Crank’s forehead for a night of nonsense.

The production values are low but the holiday fueled mirth is high as they discuss everything from horror movies to cosplay to possible future Scarefest projects. No joke is too bad and nothing is sacred in this annual attempt to alienate as many of our fans as possible in one night.

You won’t hear this episode on any of our audio channels! It’s that bad, and we would never do that to our radio affiliates.

 

David Howard Thornton SF12 E14

This episode Wes and co-host Jason Boyd welcome Scarefest 2019 featured celebrity David Howard Thornton to the show. Most of the show is naturally dedicated to David’s breakout roll in 2016’s Terrifier as Art The Clown.

They cover his history from his youth in Alabama and church theater to his recent projects including playing The Joker on the web series Nightwing Escalation.

Slinking around in clown shoes? A voice over artist without a speaking line? The infamous hacksaw scene? Oreo cookies? It’s all covered here.

Alex Vincent SF12 E13

In this weeks episode, Wes and co-host Brandon Griffith talk to Alex Vincent, who plays Andy from the Child’s Play franchise.

Alex talks about his experiences as a child star and why he stepped away from acting for over 20 years. Alex takes us into his life now as a musical engineer and talks about his true passion for music. With talks about a possible Child’s Play reboot and TV show, we also hear his thoughts on returning to the screen.

Wes and co-host Brandon also discuss why Brandon is afraid of parrots and why Wes should never comment on his wife’s pants. You won’t want to miss it!

 

Chad Harlan SF12 E12

In this week’s episode, Wes, fresh off of a Louisville Supercon visit, and co-host Chris Sutton talk to Chad Harlan, a self-professed anomaly within the paranormal enthusiasts circle. Chad brings an uncommon element to the table, he happens to be a fraud investigator.
Chad discusses how growing up listening to his grandmas story of “haints” as a child piqued his interest in the paranormal and how he now applies his analytical job skills as a fraud investigator to the world of the paranormal. He shares a few of his guidelines on how to go about layering your evidence as proof of the paranormal, his viewpoints on EVPs, and the absolute importance of protecting your meta data when gathering evidence. He also has valuable insight into the impact of paranormal shows on the paranormal community and the state of advances in the investigative field.
Wes also discusses he possibility of cosplay at this year’s Scarefest. Yes, the cosplay could be a big thing….stayed tuned for more details.

On Location at Louisville Supercon SF12 E11

On tonight’s episode Wes comes to us live from the Louisville Supercon, a three day celebration of all things geek. Joining him is pop-culture co-host Holly LaFavers, who may just be the younger female version of Wes from a parallel dimension. Even though the crew faced some questionable internet and some tremendously long walks to get to the booth, they were more than happy with the friendly crowds and abundance of accessible drink options.
During the course of the episode we learned a little about Holly. She is a licensed therapist, has been to every Scarefest since day one, is a wrestling fanatic, and is huge fan of Kentucky native John Carpenter. Holly is a well traveled convention goer, typically visiting 4-6 per year locally, and admits that she is a bit of a skeptic of the paranormal. Viewing through the perspective of a therapist, Holly sees how the paranormal could be strongly connected to mental health and psychology. She also gives us her thoughts on EVP phenomenon and the differences between a spiritual experience and a paranormal experience.
During their time Wes and Holly are visited by Billy Crank, co-host and Ernest P. Worrell impersonator (or is he?). Billy chats briefly about his Ernest character as a way of life and the joy it brings people. Know what I mean? Closing the show, we have a visit by Jake who lets us know that the Supercon was good because he wasn’t leaving angry.
The show will take a more direct focus on horror topics in future episodes as the paranormal topics will be moving to a second segment of the broadcast and a few questions are brought up in regard to the show. What do fans want to hear on Scarefest Radio? How does Wes go about getting more fan interaction? And…what exactly was stuck in Wes’ headphones at the start of the show? Inquiring minds want to know.

Scott Porter SF12 E10

In this weeks post Thanksgiving episode, Wes solo hosts with guest Scott Porter, paranormal investigator with the Tennessee Wraith Chasers.

Scott talks about the Wraith Chasers upcoming live ghost hunt and some of his favorite experiences while filming season 1 of Haunted Live. Scott is an open book and he and Wes talk about everything from farm life (they are both farmers, who knew?), his fitness journey and how he spent his Thanksgiving holiday. To say this was a very diverse interview, would be an understatement.

So, if you’ve ever pondered life’s biggest mysteries like, ham or turkey and is it called deviled or dressed eggs, then you won’t want to miss thiS.

Nic and Wes dive into the fascinating world of Werewolves, the dog man and the possibilities of the legends being true. With the release of Wretch at the 2018 Scarefest, we hear about upcoming projects such as the action comedy Loss Prevention in which Nic co-wrote and they break down the meaning of B-list movie.

Rick McCallum SF12 E8

On this week’s episode of Scarefest Radio, we have Wes, and co-host “Coyote” Chris Sutton talking with Hollywood Ghost Hunter’s, Rick McCallum.

While Rick is probably best known across the entertainment industry as a stunt man, and stunt coordinator, in tonight’s interview we are going to focus more on his true passion. Ghost hunting.
Listen in as he shares several of his own personal experiences with the paranormal. From a chilling stay at a haunted motel as a child, to recent action packed investigations. Rick has the bone chilling stories you want to hear!
