Out in the elderly universe where death stalks the airwaves; somewhere between a cursed VHS tape and the ghost of a Blockbuster Video; lurks My Bloody Podcast, a horror show equal parts terrifying and delightfully unhinged. Imagine if The Criterion Channel got possessed by a demon, or if your horror-obsessed friend from high school actually started a podcast with their equally disturbed and well-read pals. That’s the vibe.
Hosted by Bryan Kluger, a man who speaks fluent Freddy and Jason with the academic rigor of a TED Talk on gore, My Bloody Podcast is a weekly séance-slash-horror-symposium where no monster is left behind and no bloody boil goes unpopped. Preston Barta joins him like a vampire with a PhD, dissecting dread with surgical precision, while Chelsea Nicole; cultural critic, scream queen, and walking IMDb of feminist horror; makes sure every terrifying nuance gets its due.
Bryan Kluger and Preston Barta of Dallas, Texas, two men who can quote John Carpenter faster than they can recite their social security numbers, sat down with Canadian filmmaker Sean Cisterna, whose polite menace belies his latest creation: Silver Screamers. The documentary, which will have its world premiere at Fantastic Fest in Austin, follows Sean as he wrangles a group of senior citizens into making a short horror film. Yes, you read that right. Seniors. Horror. Blood, guts, monsters, and Werther’s Originals, hand in hand.

During the conversation, Bryan and Preston pull up the metaphorical rug and shake out all the delightful dust bunnies. How Sean convinced retirees to swap knitting needles for fake blood, which movies he made them watch for “research” (spoiler: there were screams), and the unexpectedly tender moments that come from watching a group of octogenarians learn how to chop up a prop body on cue. It’s equal parts funny, sweet, and unexpectedly moving.

It's a little like if The Golden Girls had been directed by George Romero. Trust us, you’re going to want to find Silver Screamers as soon as you can. After all, it’s not every day you see grandma wielding an axe and living her best life.


My Bloody Podcast is where horror isn’t just appreciated; it’s worshipped, flayed open, and lovingly stitched back together. Listen in. Just don’t blame us if you start sleeping with the lights on.
