Jun 17, 2021

CD Projekt Red, developers of The Witcher series of video games is joining up with Netflix, distributor of the Netflix Series The Witcher to hold the first-ever Witchercon. The Witcher series in all its forms has always been a juicy, lore-filled experience. For every item you pick up in the game, or see in the show, there is surely pages upon pages of lore. For lovers of the deep worlds created by Netflix and CD Projekt Red, this con is for you.

Witchercon is explained like this:

Taking place on Friday July 9th 2021, WitcherCon is an epic event for Witcher fans old and new, bringing together the worlds of The Witcher video games and the TV series. It will feature:

A variety of entertaining and interactive panels spotlighting the people who brought The Witcher to life in-game and on-screen.
Breaking news, exclusive behind the scenes and never-before-seen reveals from across The Witcher franchise.
Intimate looks into the creativity and production behind CD PROJEKT RED’s games, including the upcoming mobile game The Witcher: Monster Slayer, comic books and fan gear, AND Netflix’s live action series The Witcher plus merchandise, as well as the anime film Nightmare of the Wolf.
Expert explorations into the lore, legends, monsters and origins of the Continent.

This is truly a heady slate of content. I’m looking forward to hopping on the stream and checking out everything witcher-related while I wait for season 2 of the Netflix series. Witchercon is free and can be watched on Twitch and Youtube. There will be two streams just in case you can’t make one. One of the streams will be at 7 p.m. CEST on July 9th, with the second at 3 a.m. CEST on the 10th. There’s something for you night owls in the CEST zone.

You might also want to know that each stream contains it’s own exclusive content, so maybe it’s best to just check out both streams.

Then we chat about The Brave Little Toaster and how it destroyed all four of our childhoods. Anthropomorphic appliances, self-cannibalism, religion...this movie has it all and we laugh our way through describing just how messed up it actually is.

Scarred For Life

Episode 267: The Legendary John Harrison and The Haunting (1963)

This week we chat with filmmaker, producer, composer, writer, author...this guy's done it all...John Harrison. From working with George Romero on everything from Creepshow and Dawn of the Dead to Tales from the Darkside to the Dune miniseries to his Netflix series Residue...he's done it all. He even directed Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, which was Andrew LaSane's Scarred for Life pick, which is one of Terry's favorite movies. We chat about his long history in cinema; about how he started working with Romero to some insights into Tales from the Darkside. And we discuss his latest work, the novel Residue: Paramentals Rising, which is a sequel to the Netflix show. After learning about his horror history--including a memorable viewing of Night of the Living Dead--we find out why The Haunting terrified him as a twelve year old. John references an article written by Anthony McKay in Little Shoppe of Horrors, which can be ordered here.
