Comfort Horror / Friday the 13th Part 2 w Andy Mitton

This week we have a very special episode as Mike is joined by director Andy Mitton (The Harbinger, yellowbrickroad, The Witch in the Window) to talk about his go-to slasher movie, Friday the 13th part 2.

We discuss the challenges of filmmaking during COVID restrictions, the existential terror of the Plague Demon, and how to make nightmares feel unique and scary in modern horror.
