And as we cover the most jarring moment of your life, we also cover… Felissa Rose, some kind of zombie-robot, cats will suck your breath out, he's hilarious as a trainwreck, more boils and ooze-iness, there's a hot dog involved, it ate two of my tapes, Daniel Roebuck, Holliston, don't be stupid I'm a radio, The Raft, they decide to find all the working bits in the perfect woman, that's the end of the season arch that didn't quite get filmed, you have to know the face that accompanied it, at one point he stabs the homeless ghost, Deadbeat, the muscle-calf lady, a tulle dress, students from the local arts college, converting footage into digital the old fashioned way, it looks like a rubber mask, I'm just still dancing, Gil and Kelly from Kids Club, written by 5th graders, A. J. Bowen, I'm having a flashback, Dave Brockie, wet or dry… it depends on what you are looking for, Giorgio Tsoukalos, being pregnant, and the next thing you know she's a rabbit, Adam Green, Costas Mandylor, skills at taping stuff back together and the magic of Hollywood… and selfies. Spoiler Alert : We keep from spoiling Sleepaway Camp as well as all of Shawnee's films… but we have no problem spoiling all of Creepshow 3 . So beware as you listen to that segment. "One night he called at like 11 o'clock, 'say Shawnee … come downstairs, get in the white limo'. And I came downstairs, and I get in the white limo, and it's him and Bon Jovi… the whole band. And we went out like, you know, bar-hopping in Canada. The night ended with him on-stage singing the blues. I was pretty epic." For more info on ScareFest, go to: http://www.thescarefest.com/
