Episode 105 - George Michail

This week, Andrew sits down with comic book writer and filmmaker George Michail (90’s horror kid, cinematic obsessive, and co-writer of the Knight Terror script) to trace the origin story behind the storyteller. George shares how a steady diet of slasher films, comics, and late-night movie marathons shaped his creative instincts, and why growing up in the shadow of practical effects and VHS-era horror left a permanent mark on his imagination.

The conversation dives into the evolution of Knight Terror, from concept to screenplay to feature film. George pulls back the curtain on adapting a dark, stylized idea into a cinematic narrative, including the creative and financial risks, the structural challenges, and the practical realities of moving from page to production. It’s an honest look at what it actually takes to shepherd a genre project forward in today’s film landscape.
