This week we were at our first Horror Convention. It was Horror Fiesta in Peoria, Illinois. It was also the first horror convention for the town! So we were happy to be in on the ground floor as Peoria builds up and honors their horror/slasher community. We recorded a few segments right from the convention floor, just talking and reacting to the things we saw and even had some of the people speak up on the mic. This was a great time and we hope we picked up a few new followers/listeners. We are definitely going back if they do this again and we would definitely try to hit up other conventions (assuming they are affordable and easy to drive to). But check it out, let us know what you think, and get ready for episode 150 coming soon!

On this week's episode, we're bringing you another special interview. We sat down with Calvin Marie McCarthy, the writer/director of "Pillow Party Massacre." He talked to us about making that movie as well as tons of other projects. We discussed his time working on low-budget horror, working with a familiar cast and crew of people, and how he thinks this genre has evolved over time. Calvin's been involved in this industry in one way or another since a very young age and we thank him very much for taking the time to sit and talk with us here at SlashU.

This week we sat down with someone we consider to be low-budget horror royalty. It's Jeremy Sumrall. We know him best here at SlashU for playing The Beast in 2009's "Sweatshop" but he's done tons of other great things! So we got Jeremy on the line and decided to talk all about it for about an hour. He told great stories of how he started out, how he wound up in both "Sweatshop" and "Axe Murdering with Hackley." He talked about how sometimes the best thing you can do in making films is just 'show up' and be helpful and be grateful for every opportunity. Check it out and let us know what you think, and go show Jeremy some love.
