You've probably noticed the lack of activity around here this week. Fear not, faithful seat-kickers! I've been marathon-ing the films of Don Coscarelli in preparation for this very episode!
That's right, the filmmaker behind Phantasm, Bubba Ho-Tep, and the spectacular John Dies at the End spoke with KtS about his brilliant, hard-fought career in the movie biz! Now, before you get all crazy, please note that, due to some technical difficulties, the first few minutes of the interview were lost to noise; I cover a lot of that in the intro, before launching into what turned out to be a very fun, funny, and informative conversation.
All apologies to Mr. Coscarelli for not being able to share the uncut awesomeness with his fans. On the plus-side, I've finally committed to purchasing some professional Goddamned recording equipment to ensure this never happens again!
As a friendly (if overly-excited) reminder, Don will appear at Chicago's historic Music Box Theatre this weekend to present double features of John Dies at the End with Bubba Ho-Tep (Friday 2/8) and Phantasm 2 (Saturday 2/9)! Come on out for some great flicks, a rousing Q&A, and the chance to meet one of the nicest guys to ever dream of brain-sucking, interdimensional orbs! Get tickets and additional info at the Music Box Web site.
Hope to see you there!
