The CCD Podcast: Episode #102 - Small Screams: Terror From The TV Art Show

Horror on the television screen is nothing new... hell, there have been horror themed TV shows since the 1950s! But with the genre exploding on TV now (The Walking Dead, American Horror Story, The Strain... shall I go on?) we decided this would be a perfect subject for our next CCD art show. So we put together the Small Screams: Terror From The TV art show, which will take place on Saturday October 22nd at the Irish Haven.

Rob welcomed Mike D and Tommy Lombardozzi (both have pieces in the show) down to the CCD Nerd Cave to discuss TV Horror over the years and preview some of the subjects that were adapted into pieces for the show. if you love horror TV give this one a listen!

Today's Entry (10/13/16) - Evil Dead (1987)



More of a re-do than a sequel, this movie takes the groundwork laid in part one and expands/improves on it immensely. Funnier... Bloodier... definitely more impressive for Raimi and Co.

Today's Entry (10/10/16) - Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000)
