Steve Zaragoza on "Gray Bones in a Grave"
This week, Byron talks with Steve "the Shovel Man" Zaragoza, co-host of Dynamic Banter (formerly of SourceFed and Cloverfeels), about his horror anthology audio drama "Gray Bones in a Grave," why festival horror isn't what it used to be, and an intriguing game of horror this-or-that that somehow ends with a modern cult classic on top.

Episode 436: Backrooms
This week we yes-clip into the studio to chat psy-cosmic music festivals, unsolved Morse code, and an earth-shattering nepotism revelation, before walking into liminal horror reviewing Kane Parsons' "Backrooms". Stream on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/14ioP0zfFczK8hKPsDUmko?si=cff351ada3944a9a 0:00 Cold open 0:33 The "endless" Montana compound, liminal spaces, and following your gut 2:42 Housekeeping: AMC Scream Unseen with Jacob 3:30 Mooshfest, Tywalker and the Humanoids, and Galactic Twang 7:05 The Captain Jack situation: cracking Morse code hidden in a Bluey card 8:00 Fire in the Mountains, the Blackfeet Reservation, and a Stanley Hotel winter retreat 10:58 Staff Picks: Cube (1997) and Dead Ringers (1988) 15:41 The Robert Pattinson / Jeremy Irons nepotism saga 19:26 BACKROOMS review begins 21:45 Who is Kane Parsons? A24's record-breaking opening 23:00 Liminal vs. analog horror, Jung, and the threshold self 26:23 Web series origins and the Osgood Perkins "shadow director" rumor 31:00 Spoilers begin: Clark, Mary, and the mono-yellow labyrinth 42:38 What does it all mean? 49:44 Highs, lows, and final ratings ABOUT THE FILM BACKROOMS (2026) is a science fiction horror film written, directed, and co-scored by Kane Parsons, adapted from his own viral YouTube analog-horror web series, with a screenplay co-written by Will Sudik. A jaded furniture salesman discovers a doorway in the basement of his store that opens into an endless, humming yellow labyrinth; when he vanishes inside it, his therapist follows him in. Made for roughly 10 million dollars, it is the debut feature from the self-taught 20-year-old Parsons and reportedly gave A24 the biggest opening weekend in the studio's history. Produced by A24, James Wan's Atomic Monster, Chernin, and 21 Laps, with Osgood Perkins aboard as a producer. TALKING POINTS Where a 20-year-old self-taught director fits into the A24 machine, the leap from analog-horror YouTube series to a 10-million-dollar feature, liminal vs. analog horror as the first genuinely Gen Z horror movement, the Jungian read (threshold spaces, the shadow self, leaving your old self before you've arrived at the new one), the Osgood Perkins "shadow director" rumor and Mark Duplass's defense of Parsons, whether the film earns its ambiguity or just withholds resolution, and Exit 8 and Skinamarink as fellow travelers.

Patrick Brice on 'The Creep Tapes' Season 3
Patrick Brice returns to Frightday to talk "The Creep Tapes" Season 3, twelve and a half years after Creep premiered at SXSW and turned Mark Duplass's Peachfuzz into an unlikely horror icon. We get into what it feels like to create a character people are tattooing on themselves, how Season 3 finally nails down a few pieces of the lore (without letting the wolf out of the bag completely), and why this year pushes Peachfuzz out of the cabin and onto a houseboat and a private plane. Patrick also breaks down the pared-down five-person crew, why he's usually the one holding the camera, and how a running notes doc and Mark's breathless post-jog phone calls turn into a six-episode season. The Creep Tapes Season 3 premieres September 15 on Shudder and AMC+, with a two-episode premiere followed by two episodes weekly through September 29. This season's guests include Kate Siegel, Nicholas Hamilton, Elliott Fullam, Chris Gethard, and Ora Duplass. 💬 Who's your favorite Creep Tapes victim?

VISITORS: Lisa Puzo Strickland, PhD (Consciousness, Fear, and the UAP Phenomenon)
Parapsychologist Lisa Puzo Strickland joins us for a wide-ranging, unrestrained conversation about the thread she sees running through everything: consciousness. From precognitive dreams she started having at fifteen, while attending a private Baptist school in the middle of Los Angeles, to a PhD in philosophy and parapsychology and a deep dive into the UAP/NHI field, Lisa makes the case that psi, nature, non-human intelligence, and even brain-computer interfaces are all wired to the same source. The through-line is fear, and what to do with it. Lisa's refrain, "you don't prepare someone for fear with fear", anchors a talk that moves from the amygdala hijack to the Minoans meeting the octopus, from biomimicry and Velcro to the overview effect, from Congressional disclosure to a lecture where the lights started dancing. It's optimistic without being naive: a call to open the aperture, keep your feet in the ground, choose credible sources, and meet whatever's coming together. Welcome Precognitive dreams at fifteen — and reconciling psi with a strict religious upbringing Pastor Rasmussen's "God laid it on my heart" moment, and resolving conflicting beliefs as psychological blocks Radio in LA, West Hills sightings, and mistaking the others for Hughes aircraft Leaving the entertainment industry; the PhD, and finding the science behind the paranormal Consciousness as "the train and the train tracks" — the connective tissue between humans, nature, UAP/NHI, and AI Control, "othering," and divide-and-conquer as the oldest trick in the book Nature as the model: collaboration over predation The radio-station metaphor — nobody is a passive player Biomimicry: Velcro from cockleburrs, and the vine that shelters instead of smothers The amygdala hijack, mantises, and the "four types" The Minoans and the octopus; eclipse fear; "you don't prepare someone for fear with fear" The octopus as a genuinely alien consciousness Telepathy, channeling, missing time, levitation, teleportation — the parapsychology inside the UAP experience A VIP dinner with three very different guests, and how it all looped together The "aliens.gov" debacle, gatekeeping, and advocates who become the apparatus Humility as a neurological trigger, and the three most powerful words: "I don't know" The lecture where the lights started dancing Glimmers, awe, and the overview effect Adaptability and belief — why "we're not ready" is insulting Fear, done thoughtfully — horror as a way to war-game the unknown Coming disclosure, Congress, and a deep respect for experiencers Why there's no single "grail" file — and why decentralization might be the good news Gratitude to the media, the local-news equalizer, and getting everyone to the same table Notable moments "Consciousness isn't just that bridge. Consciousness is the train itself. It's the train and the train tracks." "You do not prepare someone for fear with fear." "I've always thought that the three most powerful words in the universe were 'I don't know.'" People, places & references mentioned: Contact in the Desert — the UAP/UFO conference where this conversation was recorded Pastor Rasmussen — the pastor whose "precog dream" helped Lisa reconcile faith and psi Eric Davis — physicist, referenced re: the "four types" Travis Walton — cited for his multi-day missing-time account William Henry (Ancient Aliens), Travis Taylor (Skinwalker Ranch), and Rizwan Virk (author of The Simulation Hypothesis) — the three dinner guests Diana Walsh Pasulka — referenced on the overview effect Avi Loeb and Garry Nolan — named among the academics bringing rigor to the field Lue Elizondo — UAP researcher and author Rear Adm. Tim Gallaudet — named among current disclosure voices Congressman Tim Burchett — referenced re: an upcoming meeting and his "wouldn't sleep at night" remark Mario Puzo (The Godfather) and James Connolly — Lisa's relatives, on her Italian and Irish sides Biomimicry, the amygdala hijack, and the overview effect — recurring frameworks throughout About the guest Lisa Puzo Strickland credits her inner voice for guiding a 30-year career across radio, records, and television. Her search to understand intuition ran through religion, psychology, philosophy, and spirituality, and a turn toward quantum physics surfaced the parallels between nature, science, and paradigm-shifting life principles that eventually led to a PhD in Philosophy and Parapsychology. Her work now spans AI, cryptocurrency, biomimicry, and the pending disclosure of non

A silent ice cream vendor arrives in a suburban town and hands out treats that turn the local children into homicidal maniacs. It is the first theatrical release from The Horror Section, Roth's new studio co-founded with Bloody Good Horror's Jon Schnaars. Made for roughly 5.5 million dollars, with about 10 percent of the company sold to around 2,500 fans through the investment platform Republic. TALKING POINTS Where Eli Roth sits now after Borderlands, the low-budget theatrical horror model and why five million is the sweet spot, the practical-versus-CGI blend, the teen paralysis lore hole, and the AI question: Roth's initial denial, the later walk-back to a sketches-handed-to-an-AI-company framing, and what that does to how genre fans watch low-budget movies going forward.
