About this episode
PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmaker Ben Rock (ALIEN RAIDERS, CURSE OF THE BLAIR WITCH, 20 SECONDS TO LIVE, VIDEO PALACE) returns to THE MOVIE CRYPT in one of the most enjoyable, candid, and revealing episodes of 2022! (O.G. Crypt Keepers will remember Ben's first appearance on the podcast way back on Episode 68 almost exactly 8 years ago to the day that this episode will premiere!) From the joys of being a new father and balancing family life with a career that tends to consume every waking moment… to the creative excitement of telling stories in different mediums including film, television, live theater, short form episodic, and scripted audio series… to the making of Ben's new audio series CATCHERS (premiering October 27th on Audible) and the craft of creating a great creature-horror story without being able to rely on visuals… to the surprisingly affordable technical equipment that artists can use to create a professional, high quality audio series… to an in-depth conversation in the second hour of the episode about Ben's secret contribution to the HATCHET universe and the sharing of brutally honest war stories from the swamp that have never been discussed publicly until now… this extended length (2 hour and 18 minutes for Patrons!), incredibly inspiring, and hilarious episode is one for the MOVIE CRYPT history books. Dr. Arwen provides "Hollywood Therapy" for a patient wondering when it is OK to walk away from a production that has become a total mess, Adam reveals the secret sauce(s) to "Victor Crowley's" voice, and the boys announce their annual FREE MOVIE CRYPT LIVE WEEKEND coming up this Sunday October 9th!
