Welcome back to A Podcask of Amontillado, where we delve into the dark, dreadful, and terrifying parts of the world.

Horror movies have a reputation of being a quick and cheap to make. But is that true? What does it take to write, direct, or perform in a scary movie? What happens on set? How do you get your vision on film, and what sacrifices are required to get there?

Our guest Jon Devlin knows the answers to these questions, and more. Join Erin & Gary, dear Connoisseurs, as they ask him about his short film “Erecting A Monster”, why you’d make your own fright flick, the writing process, the pitfalls to avoid, the fun bits, how to find, support and join the indie film community, staying motivated, and the horror movies that inspire his work.
