This week we explore the personal stamp of horror that director Ti West has left on his atmospheric films. Join hosts Matt and Staci as they discuss the contemporary horror film and how to break from the generic trappings to create films where character and tension are king. From 'The House of the Devil' to his latest film 'The Innkeepers', Ti West has been making fiercely independent 'Auteur' films that feel like a throwback to the golden era of 1970's horror film-making. Ti discusses his influences, creative approach and the difficulties in getting an 'Alan Smithhee' credit. Concluding the show we highlight the new horror anthology film 'the ABC's of Death' which invites it's audience to be part of it's Grand Guignol.
