Pod 366, Ep. 91: Paolo Zelati's "American Nightmares"

Our Halloween season guest is Paolo Zelati, author of "American Nightmares," a book of interviews with American horror directors of the 60s through the 80s. He's also a collaborator on George Romero's final screenplay, the as-yet-unproduced "Twilight of the Dead." Paolo has lots of interesting stories, but before we get to him Greg and Giles go through the week's new weird releases: "Vampire Zombies... from Space!" hits the festival circuit; a new restoration of Tarkovsky's "The Sacrifice" shows up in revival theaters; Quentin Dupieux's long-awaited "Daaaaaali!" arrives on VOD; "Cuckoo" on Blu-ray; we mention the sci-fi psychological thriller "Slingshot"; big releases of "Gummo" (Criterion Collection) and "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" (Kino) on 4K UHD/Blu-ray; a limited edition steelbook of anime epic "Ninja Scroll"; and a Blu-ray of the late 90s/early 2000s SOV CGI fantasy "Despiser."
