Comfort Horror / Friday the 13th Part 2 w Andy Mitton

This week we have a very special episode as Mike is joined by director Andy Mitton (The Harbinger, yellowbrickroad, The Witch in the Window) to talk about his go-to slasher movie, Friday the 13th part 2. We talk about the gory days of renting R-rated movies and feeling like we were pulling fast ones on our parents, the joy and terror of Baghead Jason, ponder where Ginny lies in the pantheon of Final Girls and more. Andy also discusses his new movie, the absolutely terrifying THE HARBINGER. We discuss the challenges of filmmaking during COVID restrictions, the existential terror of the Plague Demon, and how to make nightmares feel unique and scary in modern horror.
