Episode 250: Hell House LLC's Gore Abrams and Danny Bellini and Mommie Dearest (1981)

This week we chat with Danny Bellini and Gore Abrams about their short film and proof of concept Locations. We talk about the first time they met, working together as a creative team on Locations as a short film and the script for the feature...then we dive back into the past to hear about Danny playing with a Ouija board in a cemetery, Gore's thoughts about people and animals and then ultimately why Mommie Dearest terrified Gore growing up. Expect conversations about camp, drag queens, wire hangers, chopping down trees and the fact or fiction of it all. Along the way, we chew scenery and quote our favorite parts of the film.
