Talking Horror With Mick Garris (Hocus Pocus, Sleepwalkers, Masters Of Horror & More)

Welcome back to another episode of ClassHorrorCast, I'm your host Aran and on this week's show, I am joined by one of the masters of horror, Mr.Mick Garris.From a young age, Mick was engrossed in the film world and the filmmaking process, which led him to work as a freelance critic for a number of different publications. In 1977, Mick was hired as a receptionist for the newly formed Star Wars Corporation which led to him making many industry contacts and saw him host his own interview program, chatting with the likes of Steven Speilberg, Christopher Lee, and many more.Through hard work and relationships he had formed, he was hired by Speilberg as a writer/story editor for 'Amazing Stories' which would change his life and see him contribute to many projects such as The Fly II, Psycho IV, Sleepwalkers, and The Mummy remake. Mick also played a huge role in creating the most iconic Halloween film of all time with 1993's 'Hocus Pocus' and in 2005 he was the driving force behind the 'Masters Of Horror' series.Someone who many may consider the godfather of podcasting, especially within the genre - Mick hosts his uber-successful show 'Post Mortem With Mick Garris'. He is both extremely passionate and knowledgeable about film and its processes.We chat about his unfortunate health scare and how it affected him, his lifelong passion and drive for his craft, the exciting future he has planned, and some other unique and wonderful stories.
