Jamison Locascio and Adam Ambrosio - the Filmmakers Behind Know Fear and How Dark They Prey
Welcome back horror fans to another episode of the Grim and Bloody Podcast! It's always fun to speak with filmmakers who were inspired by John Carpenter and H. P. Lovecraft. Two of our favorite sources for horror and thriller. They might be young, but Jamison Locascio and Adam Ambrosio have a solid horror foundation which is evident during the discussion. They know what scares audiences and can apply the trade. Both of their features Know Fear ( 2021) and How Dark They Prey ( 2022) are available for streaming through Tubi.

Live from Creep IE Con!
The Grim and Bloody Podcast made the pilgrimage to Ontario California to revel in all that was Creep IE Con's second year of convention going. Fans were treated to an impressive guest list! Have a listen - https://tinyurl.com/yaacrm3u
We sat down with a few unique vendors and got their take on the convention. This was an incredible gathering by Brian, the showrunner. The aisles were packed with fest goers and the immense hall emanated the same type of energy you feel at the bigger cons like SDCC.
And to close out the show we sit down with Elizabeth Yoder and James Dorney to talk about their upcoming suspense thriller Rangers. This one has all the feels of a tense film festival burner.

AcroStar Films Newest Horror Film - Desperate Souls
We're a big fan of AcroStar Films. They push themselves to make films not easily found elsewhere, touching on subjects other filmmakers shy away from. They have a proven track record of success on the film festival circuit, but are not satisfied with past accomplishments. Desperate Souls is that next step for AcroStar: a practical-effects driven demon film boasting impressive performances by a fresh and young cast. S.J. Hermann and Ann Myrna return along with cast members Joe Rosing and Jake Yanko.
​
AcroStar is in the winding hours of an Indiegogo campaign for Desperate Souls , so there's still time to donate and reap some cool rewards. Head on over to https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/desperate-souls-horror-romance-film#/ .

2022: The Year in Review in Horror and More
Another year has gone, but which has left us with a number of excellent horror films to experience. We sit down and talk about the ones we felt stood out and why. In 2022 Ethan Hawke returned to horror in Black Phone. David Howard Thornton donned the creepy clown costume in Terrifier 2, a definite step up from the first film. TI West thrilled us with X and Pearl. Zach Cregger made his presence known with Barbarian. And what about Rob Jabbaz's visceral, blood-dripping zombie film The Sadness? Jordan Peele's Nope and Parker Finn's Smile make the list as well. We can't forget (or maybe we're trying to forget) David Gordon Green's final installment in the latest Halloween trilogy, a divisive film to say the least.
​
And we're proud to announce submissions are open fore the 2023 Death's Parade Film Festival! We are returning to the Prime Cinemas in Red Bluff California this October.
