From the Netherworld archives: a few of the faces I wore during ten years as a haunted house monster. Plus one off-duty. Episode 12 is out now. Link in bio. #HauntedHouse

Ten years as a monster at Netherworld taught me three rules. Scare the grown-ups. Make fans of the kids. And always scare the chair. Episode 12 is out now. Link in bio. #HorrorPodcast

I spent ten years as a monster at Netherworld Haunted House and once scared Janet Jackson without knowing it. Episode 12 is live. #HorrorPodcast #netherworld

Zombieland, Halloween II and The Walking Dead all borrowed monsters from the same Atlanta haunted house. I was one of them for ten years. Episode 12 drops tomorrow. #HorrorPodcast #TheWalkingDead

I once jumped out of the dark and scared Janet Jackson. Didn't find out who she was until later. Episode 12, Nether Gonna Give You Up: My Decade at Netherworld Haunted House @hauntedatlanta , lands Tuesday. #HorrorPodcast #Netherworld

Netherworld Haunted House turns 30 this season. Original monsters only since 1997, Zombieland shot inside, and an address of 1313 Netherworld Way. I spent ten of those seasons in the dark. More next week. #Netherworld #HorrorPodcast @hauntedatlanta

Field Report: I watched Frogs (1972) so you don't have to. The frogs don't kill anybody. Snakes, lizards and an alligator do all the work while the title characters sit there croaking. #Frogs1972 #HorrorPodcast

If you loved Night of the Lepus, The Food of the Gods (1976) is your next watch: same real-animals-on-tiny-sets trick, now with giant rats, wasps, worms and one enormous chicken. #FoodOfTheGods #HorrorPodcast

"He was making a Western with the wrong animal in it." — on the director of Night of the Lepus, who shot giant killer rabbits with zero horror technique and total sincerity. New episode of Baz To The Bone is live now.

New episode is up: Night of the Lepus — giant killer rabbits, Janet Leigh, Star Trek's DeForest Kelley, and a real Australian ecological catastrophe that's stranger than the movie it inspired.

[Baz To The Bone @baztothebonepod]

24 rabbits in 1859. 600 million by the 1950s. Real Australian history, not movie fiction — and it's the true disaster behind Night of the Lepus. New episode of Baz To The Bone drops tomorrow.

[Baz To The Bone @baztothebonepod]

Episode 11 is coming: Night of the Lepus — Some Bunny's Gonna Regret It. Giant killer rabbits, Janet Leigh, and Star Trek's DeForest Kelley, all in one gloriously miscalculated 1972 movie. Tuesday, September 22nd.

On this day in 1929: Daniel Haller was born. He spent the 60s designing Roger Corman's gothic Poe sets, then Corman handed him a camera — Haller's directing debut was a Lovecraft adaptation starring Boris Karloff.

House of Mystery (1934): a man fakes a Hindu curse, a killer gorilla, and his own paralysis rather than pay back his investors. I watched it so you don't have to.

[Baz To The Bone @baztothebonepod]

oved Ready or Not? Watch The Old Dark House (1932) next. Same instinct, 90 years apart — trap a group of outsiders in one house and let them turn on each other.

[Baz To The Bone @baztothebonepod]

Jack Pierce built monsters like it was scripture. I built them like it was a fire drill. Episode 10 is live — Boris Karloff, Jack Pierce, and twenty years of doing the same job under very different pressure.

[Baz To The Bone @baztothebonepod]

A director who put his queerness on screen in 1932 without flinching. Episode 10 is live. Link in bio. #HorrorPodcast #OldDarkHouse

[Baz To The Bone @baztothebonepod]

Lurch from The Addams Family? Modeled on Boris Karloff's mute butler Morgan in a nearly-forgotten 1932 James Whale film. Nothing in this genre really disappears. New ep Tuesday.

[Baz To The Bone @baztothebonepod]

The man who made Bride of Frankenstein made a haunted house movie first — Episode 10, "Have a Potato," is coming Tuesday, September 8.

C.H.U.D. stands for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers. That's really the title. 42 years old today, made for a million bucks, with a pre-fame John Goodman buried in the cast. #CHUD #HorrorHistory
