Genre stars Barbara Crampton (Suitable Flesh) and Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier) have teamed up with YouTuber James A. Janisse, the host of the popular Dead Meat series, for a weekly interview podcast called Scream Dreams – and the first episode is online now! You can watch a teaser for the show at the bottom of this article, along with the first episode. The guest interviewed on the premiere episode was Josh Ruben, the filmmaker behind Scare Me and Werewolves Within.
Coming our way from Alliance Media Partners, each Scream Dreams episode delves deep into the mysterious world of guests’ actual nightmares and fears. Through candid interviews with visionary filmmakers and creatives, Catherine and James will explore how their guests’ most vivid dreams and nightmares shape their lives and work – peeling back what is behind their most haunting creations, and venturing into the dark depths of their subconscious. Scream Dreams will bring listeners an immersive, intimate experience, with insightful, open conversations for genre enthusiasts and cinephiles alike. Its audience can expect a tantalizing mix of intriguing questions, entertaining games, and even the appearance of a surprise visitor or two.
Corcoran produces the series with AMP’s Bob Portal. Rebekah McKendry is a consulting producer.
Corcoran provided the following statement: “As someone who has dreamt in exclusively nightmares my entire life, I have always wanted to understand what motivates fear – how it can shape us, hold us back or push us to achieve great things. Developing this show in a time riddled with uncertainty and fear, it seemed like a natural conversation to have. I think audiences will be blown away to unravel the subconscious motivations behind some of their favorite actors’ and filmmakers’ work but also be inspired by the ways in which they persevere. It’s a reminder to everyone that
fear only has the power we give it.“
Janisse added: “I often fail to remember my dreams, so I’m very interested in seeing how filmmakers and actors use their dreams and nightmares as creative inspiration. Dreams often spawn from our innermost hopes, desires, and fears. To confront and discuss your nightmares is to open yourself up and make yourself vulnerable. Hearing these creative individuals speak so intimately is a gift, especially as it leads to deeper conversations about their lives and work. This podcast will be a treasure for anyone who admires horror, genre and the creative process in general.“
And Crampton had this to say: “I have long wanted to enter the podcast space, so this venture is a ‘scream dream’ come true for me. Catherine’s and James’ ease in hosting, and my ‘Side-Barb’ segment, allow fun, revealing conversations to unfold with all our guests. I can’t wait for genre fans to check us out.“
Episodes of Scream Dreams will be available on on YouTube and all major podcast platforms.
