In this electrifying conversation, I sit down with the legendary Steven Berkoff—actor, writer, and a force of nature—and visionary film director Stephen Cookson. Together, we unravel the chilling brilliance of Steven Berkoff’s Tell Tale Heart 🎭🔪—a cinematic adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s haunting masterpiece. First released in 2019, this gripping feature film made a triumphant return at the International Horror Film Festival in February 2025, where Steven Berkoff was honoured with the Outstanding Contribution to Film Award 🏆🔥. But make no mistake—Steven doesn’t mince words. In this episode, he delivers a brutally honest take on the town hosting the festival and shares his deep fascination with Poe’s eerie storytelling, particularly The House of Usher 🏚️🖤.We also dive into his latest TV series in development, Hooligan, exploring its gritty themes and no-holds-barred storytelling.
