With a 98% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the Adams family proves what is possible with little else than ingenuity, passion, and a few spontaneous carcasses in their own backyard when they set out to make a film full of terrifying dread built to linger deep long after the end credits have rolled.

1963 would prove to be a historical year for lovers of science fiction and monsters alike with the introduction of the now iconic television show, The Outer Limits (originally titled Beyond Control). For one hour at a time, television sets across the nation would be controlled by the transmissions of show runners Leslie Stevens and Joseph Stefano. Season one in particular would leave a mark destined to echo across generations to come.
The original show enjoyed a run of two seasons (thirty-two episodes and seventeen episodes respectively) before being revived in 1995 until its final airing to date in 2002.Through various creative hands and minds we were brought a multitude of standout experiences with such prolific writers as Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson, and R.R. Martin behind them. However, it was the original first season where the birth of the show truly cast an indelible shadow.
Screenwriter Joseph Stefano, coming off the heels of his Psycho success, would write a dozen episodes during the first season while co-producing alongside Leslie Stevens. With his trademark monster — or “bear-of-the-week” as they were dubbed — Stefano’s signature touch would garner repeated call-outs among fan favorite lists around the world. His gothic settings served to accent the nature of his rich visualization and defined what an Outer Limits episode was all about.
After years of having the show test our fears and anxieties without fail, we can now enjoy a full immersion into Stefano’s words like never before. The added layers of details provided by the published scripts act as an insider’s glimpse of exactly how the atmospheric wonder and magic of Stefano’s masterful vision was brought to life on screen.
From specialty publisher, Gauntlet Press, we got From the Inner Mind To … The Outer Limits: Scripts of Joseph Stefano, Volume 1. The book, showcases six produced scripts (including two early drafts) plus two never filmed, completed scripts. None of these scripts have been published anywhere else until now.
I sat down with editor Dave Rash and Dominic Stefano, son of Joseph Stefano, to discuss how and why each script was selected for this book, the scope of Joseph Stefano’s style and impact, and a whole lot more.

In this clip, Jeff discusses the time pro MMA figher and extreme horror author, Wrath James White, gave his arm a beating for a good cause and how he (mostly) survived to tell the tale.
Jeff Strand is an author who straddles the line between intense horror and gut-bursting humor with over fifty books to his name. His acclaimed titles include Casket For Sale: Only Used Once, The Sinister Mister Corpse, The Wolf Hunt Trilogy and Dweller to list but a few. Strand has forged his path with lots of blood, sweat and cursing as a full-time author with both small press and self-published releases. Strand’s official accolades include multiple years as the Master Of Ceremonies for the Bram Stoker Awards Ceremony, four-time Bram Stoker Nominations, and a power punch to the arm for charity by professional MMA fighter and extreme horror author, Wrath James White.
One of the Stoker nominated books, Pressure, was recently followed up by the much-anticipated sequel, Deathless. In this conversation, we cover everything from what to expect from Deathless (spoiler-free, of course), some very cool film teasers, and everything to do with the writing life and plenty more Strand related stuff you may have been afraid to ask, but want to know all the same.

Raised in a small New South Wales town in Australia, Aaron Dries is a man of many dark talents. As a filmmaker, he’s won several awards for his short films at home and abroad, including Best Film at the Newcastle Film Festival for Placebo, coinciding with the publication of his earliest stories in literary magazines. His highly acclaimed novels include House Of Sighs, The Fallen Boys, A Place For Sinners and Where the Dead Go To Die as co-written with Mark Allan Gunnels along with a slew of short stories and chapbooks.
His newest book, a novella called Dirty Heads, is a fast-paced poetic abstract of a monster tale. It’s a coming-of-age story about a young man who dreams of monsters while searching for his place in life and instead comes face to face with not only his own troubled identity, but the very monsters he has created. It is, ultimately, the book which brought us together for this poignant discussion in which we uncover the makings of one of the most promising dark curators working in the horror genre today.

Join in as Bailey Hunter-Strohl and I discuss this intriguing transformation of DRP, what it takes to produce the content we’ve all come to love, and so much more from the dark and beautiful heart of a woman who knows how to get it done and get it done right within the world of independent publishing.
An award-winning magazine, Dark Recesses Press publication was established in 2005 as a reliable home for new and established creators of dark fiction, art and non=fiction content. Head Mistress Bailey Hunter-Strohl and her team of darklings provide an all inclusive destination for great writing and art designed to scratch that nagging itch in the deep recesses of your horror-loving mind.
Expanding on its formidable influence, DRP would go on to develop an independent line of books to further its reach to readers and creators alike. Upon its 13th issue, the publication would see a temporary halt as it regrouped and refocused with a promise to return stronger than ever.
Now after all this time, like a phoenix rising from the ashes of a great fire, Dark Recesses Press has returned with a bang to once more provide a reliable destination for all your dark culture needs with its 14th issue, now available in print and in digital format, and what a line up it offers!

In this short cut, we discuss what inspired Lamberson to make his independent action movie during the pandemic, and why it was the perfect time to make it happen.
Most recently, Lamberson finished making an action film with heart called GUNS OF EDEN staring Alexandra Faye Sadeghian, Bill Kennedy and Peter Johnson. In this podcast, Lamberson discusses what it was like making a movie during a pandemic, what it took to raise the money to make it and how he gathered all the right people to get the job done well and safely.
Lamberson offers such an intimate glimpse behind the scenes of his film, you’ll have a hard time deciding whether to dodge the assault or run full tilt into the thick of the action.
And, if you ever thought it would be pretty cool to become a part of movie-making history, you can check off that box by clicking this link and contributing to the post-production of GUNS OF EDEN. You’ll earn some cool merch to boot.

Steve Wedel is an author from Oklahoma with about thirty-five books on his resume so far. Proving that great writing knows no boundaries, Wedel has cowritten paranormal romance novels with New York Times best-selling author Carrie Jones as well as publishing westerns, romance and resonating horror for adults and young adults alike. His books include The Werewolf Saga, Amara’s Prayer, Littlest Graveyard On the Prairie, and Seven Days In Benevolence. His latest book, a brutal tale of survival against the worst possible odds called Mother, is one which no reader can read and not expect to be emotionally unscathed. For me personally, it contained two of the most unsettling and terrifying scenes I think I’ve read to date.
