from CULT?SURE! Podcast · host Nicholas Christian

Greetings everyone and welcome to the latest edition of the Cult?Sure! Podcast. This week we are joined by the one and only Joe Castro! Joe is a special fx artist, actor, director, filmmaker that has been in the industry for over 40 years. Specializing in bringing some of the most incredible special effects and creatures to life in horror films, Joe has even worked on Roseanne and Harry Potter. This interview is very special to me because Joe and his husband Steven Escobar are the creators of the Terror Toons series, the movie that I named my music project after and was drawn to the VHS as a kid. If you haven’t seen the films and love horror I promise you’ve never seen anything like them! Join us as we only scratch the surface of Joe's incredible career and talk all things past, present and future with it! Be sure to follow him to keep up with everything he is working on and check out his past works, especially Terror Toons!! Thank you so much for listening, thank you so much Joe for being on the podcast and Happy Halloween to you all!!Musical Guest: Terror Toons with their song "Purgatory". Many thanks to Joe and Steven for creating the movie that fueled this project and my creativity all around.Socials:⁠https://www.facebook.com/joe.castro⁠⁠https://www.joecastrofx.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAacEVnmb7NgHj-8lzQ3vdkPhgi3T9nTE9L8OzCHXcXAYLBgXlzgC0j3Qa4P59Q_aem_GUjmGqbleIpi3GhjJHfYlw⁠⁠https://www.terrortoons.tv/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAadyQ6W8EyuhmNHrlD_XyVYdOgA_oLxiWOGGNQAduF8yExR4ImuvIxFwwuVvYQ_aem_Dp-fOdHIPHcqurcOl8ZpVA⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/joe_castro_director/
