Deadly Doses Podcast Chapter 16- Screen Writer John Morton

Dipping our toe into the world of Victorian Momento Mori -in this episode of Deadly Doses, we speak to the writer and creator of the phenomenally successful TV show “Dead Still” starring Michael Smiley as Brock Blennerhasset a memorial portraiture photographer in 1880s Ireland who becomes embroiled in series of suspicious and macabre deaths. For his picks-John takes us all the way back to the 1960's as we explore the emergence of "New Horror" with Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" (1960) and staying in the 60's we revel in the nihilism of George Romero’s canonical "Night of the Living Dead" (1968).
