Interview With The Mayor Of Burkittsville

Tonight we bring you a different kind of Horrorhound interview. Not a filmmaker but tied to a film that is near and dear to our hearts. We, by chance at Horrorhound, met in line to meet the 'Blair Witch' cast & as we mentioned our podcast, the mayor of Burkittsville, Maryland introduced himself. Yes, you heard that right, we bring you our interview with Michael Robinson, the mayor of the town that set up the fictional town of 'Blair' for the film that put Burkittsville on the proverbial Hollywood map. We talk about how Michael became the mayor, his love for all things horror & of course, "The Blair Witch Project."

Two Knocks on a Door Interview

We're keeping the Horrorhound Film Fest interviews coming! Tonight we are joined by Sean Kenealy & Eric Silvera to discuss their short film, "Two Knocks on a Door." The log line is "A father grows suspicious that there's an intruder in his house, only to discover something much darker" but depending on who's watching, it's so much more than that. This was very polarizing but we loved it & we loved even more talking to Sean & Eric about it! Spoiler Alert & NSFW Warning: We do discuss self-pleasure quite a bit, but in a very comical way LOL. Catch "Two Knocks on a Door" at festivals coming soon!

Eduardo Sanchez Interview

This is the interview of all interviews. Tonight is a holy grail episode, the one, the only, Eduardo Sanchez, director of the acclaimed found footage film "The Blair Witch Project." Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the film, Eduardo was a guest at Horrorhound that we met and so graciously agreed to talk with us. Besides Blair Witch, we discussed his other film, 2014 "Exists," and talk at length about our shared love of all things Bigfoot. We also discussed his most recent collaboration with other Latino filmmakers in the 2022 Shudder featured anthology "Satanic Hispanics." This was a dream come true for us and we can't thank Eduardo enough for his time.

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a...FROGMAN?! We talked about the movie last week, this week we're talking about the legendary cryptid that inspired it: The Loveland Frogman of Ohio. With the first sighting in 1955 and the last sighting in 2016, for over 60 years the legend and lore surrounding Frogman (or FrogMEN?) has been shrouded in mystery. Is it real, is it a hoax, is it a Pokemon? Find out for yourself at 3AM down by the Little Miami River.
