Horror and cult film podcast with Baz Bishop.

Episode 02: Attack of the Mole People. The origin story — starting from the other end. A decade inside one of America's premier haunted attractions, a chainsaw clown at Universal Studios, and a union card earned by chasing people in the dark.

How a five-year-old who was afraid of the ground became, eventually, the thing under it.
