The Drunken Severed Head interviews Shane Briant, in three parts, about his Worst Nightmares.
Each segment is about twenty minutes. In Part One, Mr. Briant talks about his new book, about his writing process, and working on Dan Curtis’ The Picture of Dorian Gray. He does a cool bit of impersonation when reminiscing about two of the people involved, actor Nigel Davenport and producer Dan Curtis. In Part Two, he talks about what working at Hammer studios was like, and in Part Three, he riffs on a few dysfunctional fans.

And Now the Screaming Starts worries about the first-class passengers in Crocodile 2: Death Swamp.

Having the movie all but dropped in my lap, I knew I simply had to tape it. The time had finally come to confront Fulci.
