Jennifer Banko 2021 E11

This week Wes and co-host Chad Harlan welcome the spunky Jennifer Banko. Banko has made numerous appearances in movies and on TV but is best known for her role in FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 7: THE NEW BLOOD. Banko is also set to appear in the upcoming FRIDAY THE 13TH fan film, 13 FANBOY.

Banko discusses 13 FANBOY, how she got into acting, what it’s like to be a child actor, and the possibility of having real life stalker fans. She also speaks a little bit about her interest in tarot reading. It is an interesting evening, indeed.

All of this plus more celebrity announcements and Joe Lewis give us a review for a British ghost story anthology movie.

Tony Todd Couldn’t Be with Us Tonight SF13 E9

If the title doesn’t give it away, Tony Todd was unavailable this evening. What’s a host to do? He wings it! Wes and co-host CC Ann stretch their collective improv talents by giving us an off-the-cuff discussion of Todd’s movies, check the chatroom for viewers’ favorite Tony Todd roles, and debate the merits of the movie SKY SHARKS.

There are also several celebrity announcements in the mix. Spoiler alert, one of them is a major Scream Queen! In addition, Joe Lewis gives us his impression of the British horror-comedy GET DUKED!

Don’t forget to keep an ear out for Wes’ super-secret extra F-Bomb of the Day.

The Booth Brothers 2021 E6

This week Wes and co-host Billy Crank are joined by the remarkably multi talented Booth Brothers. The Booths bring a wide variety of skills to the show as directors, producers, actors, and musicians as well as being immense paranormal enthusiasts.

The Booths discuss their new documentary film THE ATTACHED, open up about their passion for the process of filmmaking and their inspirations, and weigh in on supernatural experiences they’ve had during the making of their films. There might even be a discussion about who they might have had fanboy reactions to at a prior Scarefest.

We also get a great retrospective on Clive Barker from Joe Lewis and Breaking the News gives us a peek at a WRONG TURN remake and tells us about Nicholas Cage’s kooky new horror movie.

Linnea Quigley 2021 E3

It’s a real treat tonight as Wes and co-host CC welcome Scream Queen royalty Linnea Quigley to the show. Linnea has a wrap sheet on IMDB that goes on for days including such classics as RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD and NIGHT OF THE DEMONS.

Linnea, Wes, and CC delve into how she moved from Iowa to California going from shy girl to horror movie darling, acting under aliases, a disastrous moment on the set of NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET IV, and her involvement in pet rescues. She also plays in a band and has her own reality show in production. Now we just need that horror workout video of hers to make a comeback.

In our regular features Joe Lewis talks about his two favorite Linnea Quigley movies, Dick Pinkerton talks about the Black Dahlia, and Breaking the News gives us Mothmen and muppet horror movies.

Jake Hates Everything SF13 E54

It’s the show that might break the mold as this week Wes welcomes Jake Godbold, horror expert and agent of Mini C the Unspeakable, for an interesting premise. Jake has requested Wes watch two movies and the challenge is for Wes to guess which movie Jake liked and which one Jake hated. The results are hilarious.

Not only do we get the results on the movie challenge, between CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST and SOCIETY, but we also get some passionate commentary on both films and a few lessions on copywrite barriers. Plus Wes gets the lowdown on Jake’s thoughts about virtual conventions.

In our regular features, don’t miss Joe Lewis’ review of the HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR.

Nicholas Vincent aka Circus Envy SF13 E50

If you have a fear of clowns, this episode is for you! What better way to usher in Halloween than to have the face of Halloween himself, Nicholas Vincent aka Circus Envy as a guest.

Circus Envy is the alter ego of Nicholas and has been a part of his life for over 20yrs. There’s a lot of psychology behind him being a clown and he gives Wes a small glimpse into that and he even turned his story into a comic book to dive into the origins of Circus Envy. Nicholas is a very well spoken and articulate person and hearing him speak is a welcome change from our usual rif raf (only partially joking) so you won’t want to skip this episode.

Bonus content with this episode is Wes debuting his new character Whispers the Clown and giving us the magic that is clown hands. Seriously, it’s majestic and you’ll want to check it out.

Chris Majors SF13 E45

The talk is all about the stars tonight as Wes and co-hoest CC Ann welcome celebrity agent, musician, and memorabilia collector Chris Majors to the show. Chris’ agency, Monster Memorabilia and Entertainment, is chalk full of media stars you’ll recognize plus cool collectibles for all of the superfans.

Chris discusses how the pandemic has affected his agency and what he has done to remain sustainable, how he became a celebrity agent, his feelings on virtual conventions, and all of the numerous other aspects of his job. Along the way he also shares a few celeb stories and even offers some roofing advice. It’s that kind of show!

In our weekly offering Joe Lewis takes a look at a SHUDDER exclusive movie and the Week in Horror gets squishy and brutal. This week also sadly sees the last Scarefest TV offering from our Aussie movie maestro Glenn but what an offering it is.

We’ll miss Glenn on the show but you can always still find him at FakeShemp and Good Movie Monday. G’Day Mate!

Scarefest Cancellation and Post CyberCon SF13 E44

Not quite the post episode we are use to but this is our first ever post Cybercon break down and Wes is joined by Brandon and Nicole Griffith to talk the wins and loses for our test run.

Unfortunately they also discuss the cancelation of Scarefest 13 and what that means going forward not only with the convention itself but the convention center as well.

Dirk Strangely from QuarantinedCon

This week we get super virtual as Wes and guest co-host Nicole Griffith welcome multimedia artist Dirk Strangely to the show to talk about online alternatives to attending conventions in the days of a pandemic.

Dirk, Wes, and Nicole discuss the development and evolution of online platforms like ArtFarm into a digital convention floor for these chaotic times, dealing with agents and programmers, and how virtual speaker panels and vendor booths would work in a digital conference. Modern problems call for modern solutions.

We also get some UFO-logy in the Week in Horror plus our usual helpings of movie enlightenment from Joe Lewis and Glenn Cochrane. .

Brandon Griffith SF13 E24

This week Wes has a cozy chat with Scarefest co-owner, and all-around workhorse, Brandon Griffith about the progress on Scarefest 13 during the pandemic era. They discuss the new neighboring entertainment complex, ideas to keep events close to the center of the action, and Brandon’s love of the Stepehen King classic, THE STAND.

Along the way, Wes and Brandon also make another great celebrity announcement. If you liked the NIGHT OF THE DEMONS movies, you’re in for a treat. Plus there’s going to be new creative contests added to the Scarefest social media pages that will definitely be worth checking out.

FakeShemp asks us to take a fresh look at a misunderstood werewolf classic, the Week in Horror tells about two wildly different films, and Joe Lewis tackles John Carpenter. Well, not really. Just his movies.

Stick around after the main broadcast and check out the second installment in the rural murder mystery series THE FIFTH HOLLAR
