About this episode
The episode features a discussion with the director, writer, and cast of the horror movie DEVOUR, exploring its unique elements and production challenges.
Director Scott B. Hansen, writer/producer Desirée Hansen, actor Gus Langley, and even Mae the werewolf join to talk about the wild new horror movie DEVOUR! Find out how a movie about a vampire metal band spiraled into a universe filled with werewolves, sirens, warlocks, minotaurs, zombies, demons, Civil War vampires, and total chaos. Hear how they cast the film from nearly 4,000 auditions, why Gus Langley turned down Marvel’s Thunderbolts to finish DEVOUR, and what happened when Mae the lycanthrope got insulted and walked off the TIJ set! They break down the practical effects, the seven-day werewolf transformation, building massive cave sets from scratch, mixing practical effects with CGI, working with Butcher Babies singer Heidi Shepherd, recruiting Civil War reenactors, filming 43 kills in 3.5 minutes, and creating one of the craziest indie horror movies today. Plus, exploding heads, exploding cars, a 12-foot Minotaur, horror convention reactions, surviving production setbacks, and why DEVOUR could be the next cult horror phenomenon.
