Greetings! Paul and Alec are working like unionized beavers to get the newest season of The Short Horror Beer Cast up and running. In the meantime, we got something special: a brand new series of Bonus Episodes!

Introducing Talking Craft, a series of conversations with horror creatives of all stripes!

For our inaugural episode, filmmaker Dallas Hallam stops by to talk his craft, his film Entrance, and his upcoming film, Interaction.

It's a bit of a departure from horror short stories and beer, but there's a lot of horror talk, and there's short story talk, and Paul may have been drinking a beer at the time. So there! There's also cat noises!

And there's a little inside baseball, and a little technical this and that, but it's everything we love about the creative side of the horror biz, and we think you'll dig it whether you're a seasoned pro or just a horror fan who'd like to take a peek at how some sausages are made.

Watch this space for brand new episodes of The Short Horror Beer Cast!

It's our timeless classic holiday episode from 2024!

Touch but our robes and be upheld in more than this as we revisit Thomas Ligotti's "The Frolic", a heartwarming tale of that's at least more bearable than Wham's 'Last Christmas'! Experience the magic of the season with philosophical pessimism and bodily functions! Plus, great beer!

Paul's mic was making rather merry this time around, but Alec saved the day with his stellar editing. It was a Christmas miracle unmatched! Throw another stuffed Bambi on the fire and settle down for a night of Christmas magic!

Specifically, first lines and favorite lyrics. We love words, you see. And we thought it'd be fun to throw a few of our favorite first lines from our favorite stories out there. It was so much fun that we got to thinking about our favorite song lyrics as well! We traded them, and we laughed about it. And then Hemingway punched me in the mouth. And if you get THAT reference, you'll have no problem with any of the others. Throw on yer smokin' jacket and join the Short Horror Beer Cast after party!
