Talkin' The Greasy Strangler with Michael St. Michaels

About this episode

Bruce Marvel interviews Michael St. Michaels about his experiences in cult horror films, particularly 'The Greasy Strangler'.

Warning: This episode gets extra greasy. Host Bruce Marvel welcomes Michael St. Michaels – the unforgettable star of the Greasy Strangler – for a wild and wonderfully weird conversation about cult horror. Michael shared stories from the set, talks about working in film while reflecting on his acting journey, and even shows off one of the outrageous practical skin effects used in the film. If you love indie horror comedy, cult classics, and behind-the-scenes movie magic … this one's for you. Get greasy with us. 🛢️
