IN THIS EPISODE…

We’re staring into the abyss of 2006’s Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon to see what will gaze back. We’re proud to host the world premiere of Wait For It, a short film set in the Leslie Vernon Universe, written and directed by David J. Stieve. Stieve is the co-writer of the cult classic, Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. He joins us to talk about the legacy, future, the creative process of the fan-favorite 21st Century slasher icon. Chris Gierowski, writer-director of Something’s Wrong with Diana, also joins us.
