Charles Band's Full Moon Fever
Notas del episodio
Legendary horror filmmaker Charles Band shares the wild stories behind Puppet Master, Ghoulies, Full Moon Features and more than 400 movies! He reveals how the infamous Ghoulie-in-the-toilet poster turned Ghoulies into a hit, why Puppet Master launched Full Moon and spawned 14 movies, and what he can say about the major Hollywood company now developing a Puppet Master reboot. Charles talks Re-Animator and his partnership with Stuart Gordon, From Beyond, Dolls, Tourist Trap, Trancers, Demonic Toys, Evil Bong and Gingerdead Man, how he sold movies from posters before they were even made, and why he never jumped on the ‘80s slasher craze. He also shares stories about discovering future stars including Demi Moore, Viggo Mortensen and Kelly Preston, casting Gary Busey as a killer gingerbread cookie, hiring Linda Blair for one day to turn Savage Island into his most profitable movie, his friendship with Stan Lee, the rise and fall of VHS and video stores, and how streaming completely changed the economics of independent filmmaking. Plus, Charles explains how Full Moon survived when the home-video business disappeared, previews Models vs. Werewolves and Robotica, talks John Carpenter and his Church of Chills event (coming in October), and shares where he thinks movies, AI and entertainment are headed next.
Charles Band’s Church Of Chills is happening Sunday, October 10th in Cleveland, Ohio! https://churchofchills.com/
