Episode 233: Writer Chad Collins and Darkness Falls (2003)

Scarred For Life

This week we chat with writer Chad Collins! You've seen his writing in places like Slash Film, Gayly Dreadful and as a staff writer at Dread Central. We chat about how he got into writing, his relationship to horror growing up and then we find out why Darkness Falls terrified him (and Mary Beth, vicariously) growing up. Set pieces, confusing backstories, obvious meddling with the script and we try to get to the bottom of Darkness Falls' electricity bills...

Read Paul Lê's article about revisiting Darkness Falls and its novelization here. We discuss it in the episode.
