177: Danse Macabre with Chris McKay
from The Kingcast Hosted by FANGORIA Podcast Network
Danse Macabre was Stephen King's first non-fiction publication. Released originally in 1981, this tome promised to cover the history and impact of horror fiction from 1950-1980, but with King at the wheel the scope was widened significantly as he couldn't help but fold in the works of Stoker, Shelley, Lovecraft and many others.

What this episode covers
Director Chris McKay (Renfield, The Lego Batman Movie, The Tomorrow War) joins us for this very nerdy conversation about the trends in horror fiction and the influence that can have on us, especially when reading about their history from the Master of Horror himself. We talk about the different flavors of horror, what King would break down as terror, horror and revulsion, as well as King's, at time, questionable opinions on horror movie.
