Houston Horror Stories with Alex & Marissa

Scarah is joined by friends Alex and Marissa for a post-Houston Horror Film Festival hangout packed with convention stories, horror news, movies, and plenty of chaos. Scarah takes us behind the scenes of moderating panels with the cast of M3GAN, the Friday the 13th Final Girls, and The Doom Generation reunion featuring Rose McGowan, James Duval and Johnathon Schaech — including some audience questions that definitely kept her on her toes. The crew also talks about the convention experience, favorite cosplay and encounters, plus the Houston premiere of Michael Minett's short film Five, which Scarah and Marissa helped bring to life. On the horror-news side, Scarah remembers legendary special makeup effects artist Screaming Mad George, talks IT: Welcome to Derry Season 2 and previews Fantastic Fest. Then the Scary Hotline kicks off a deeper conversation about generative AI in horror: what happens when technology stops being a filmmaking tool and starts replacing the human creative process? And of course, Alex steps up to face Bone Deep. It's horror fandom, filmmaking, convention culture and three friends talking spooky shit — Screamcast style.
