The creators of the acclaimed podcasts “Let’s Make A Sci-Fi” and “Let’s Make A Rom-Com” are back with a brand new season that delves into the eerie realms of the horror genre. The ten-episode podcast series, led by comedians Mark Chavez, Maddy Kelly, and Ryan Beil, is a thrilling exploration of all things spooky. The series features fascinating interviews with Hollywood writers, directors, and horror aficionados as the comedic trio venture into the challenging task of scripting and directing their own spine-chilling short film.
In celebration of their new season, the hosts have shared their personal book recommendations, a mix of horror and less terrifying titles. Mark Chavez expressed his deep admiration for Stephen King’s “Pet Sematary.” He reminisces about the first time he read it on chilly winter nights in the late 90s, finishing it at three in the morning and running down a dark hallway to his bedroom, sleep eluding him for the rest of the night. The book’s grim narrative about a man attempting to reverse a catastrophic loss by tapping into the sinister energies of a burial ground left a profound impact on him. To those curious about the ending, Chavez encourages them to read it and find out for themselves.
Ryan Beil, on the other hand, is an avid reader of murder mystery books, particularly those that fall under the cozy murder mystery category. While these books do involve elements of death and violence, they usually only instill fear for a few chapters. He fondly remembers reading “Dracula” during his elementary school years, a book that has left a lasting impression on him. Beil praises it as a masterclass in suspense and an intriguing glimpse into Victorian-era anxieties and philosophies. For vampire enthusiasts, he recommends “Dracula” as it serves as the foundational blueprint for every vampire-themed narrative in popular culture.
Lastly, Maddy Kelly offers a recommendation for those seeking a lighter read. She suggests the Bridget Jones diary series, a collection of humorous tales about a British woman’s exciting escapades. Although Kelly isn’t a horror enthusiast, she appreciates the fun adventures that the series offers.
