Strange Harvest: Cosmic Horror, Mr. Shiny, and New Terror

On this episode of Talking Strange, host Aaron Sagers dives into the terrifying world of Strange Harvest (now streaming on demand), the new horror film blending serial killer chills with cosmic dread. Aaron is joined by Stuart Ortiz, co-writer/director of the cult hit Grave Encounters, and Jesse J. Clarkson, who both designed the eerie production and stars as the sadistic killer, Mr. Shiny. Together, they discuss real true crime, horror easter eggs in the film, the cosmic horror origins of the story, and gruesome set pieces — from ritualistic murders to leeches in swimming pools — and the sinister, otherworldly forces lurking behind the blood. If you’re a fan of cosmic horror, true crime-style terror, and the creative process behind modern horror filmmaking, this episode is for you.
