Inside Psycho Podcast Details: "Neither documentary nor straight narrative. Neither radio drama nor true crime story. Inside Psycho is a biopic without the pictures. It's a movie with sound only. Every word is either true or tells a larger truth about the making of this classic movie. This is, first and foremost, an entertaining tale of creation and destruction, birth and death, success and failure, awards and notoriety, fear and loathing, firsts and lasts.
If you thought you knew Psycho, hear it with all new ears.
Inside Psycho weaves an entertaining tale of the horrible mass killings that inspired the movie Psycho and the extraordinary struggles involved in making a movie that, against all odds, became one of the biggest hits of all time. A movie that was the biggest risk of Alfred Hitchcock's career. A movie where the star dies after only 47 minutes. A movie its studio hated. A movie the New York Times called “a blot on an honorable career.” A movie now regarded as one of the finest ever made. A movie that changed...everything.
This is not just a show for film-buffs or horror fans. It's a show for anyone with a love of entertainment who wants to hear about the rollicking adventures behind the scenes of a great motion picture. It's a show for anyone who has ever created something great but was still full of fear and doubts. It's the creative journey, and the hero of that journey is the famed filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock.
Washington, Dead City Book Series Announced:Press Release: "Franklin, TN—The Washington, Dead City series (Permuted Press) is a zombie series like no other. The three books (Gnash, Rend, and Sever) in the series take readers on a horrifying journey through the battle to save a zombie infiltrated Washington, DC.
GNASH: An ancient fundamentalist organization executes several attacks simultaneously across the globe. In the Pentagon, a deadly viral compound is unleashed and the airborne virus turns the Pentagon’s population into zombies. A former Army officer stranded in the Midwest is forced to fight for his life while his fiancé is trapped in the Washington, DC quarantine zone.
REND: Six years ago, the President made the difficult decision to abandon Washington to the undead—and “The Wall” was built to keep them trapped inside. Now, a new presidential election revives the hopes of the nation as one candidate promises the retrieve the Declaration of Independence and Constitution from behind the Wall. A retired CIA agent must go behind The Wall to save America’s most priceless documents.
SEVER: Escaped zombies from behind The Wall have swept across the northeast, their path marked by havoc and death. Into this nightmare world are thrust several unlikely heroes. A full-time National Guard solider, a small group of refugees, a hero from the last zombie war, and a retired CIA operative will all stop at nothing to eliminate the zombie threat—and save the nation they love.
About the Author: A veteran of both the Iraq and Afghanistan war, Brian Parker was born and raised as an Army brat. He moved all of the country as a child before his father retired from the service and they settled in a small Missouri town where the family purchased a farm. It was on the farm that he learned the rewards of a hard day’s work and enjoyed the escapism that books could provide. He’s currently an Active Duty Army solider who enjoys spending time with his family in Texas, hiking, obstacle course racing, writing and Texas Longhorns football. His wife is also an Active Duty solider and the pairing brings its own unique set of circumstances that keep both of them on their toes. He’s an unashamed Star Wars fan but prefers to disregard the entire Episode I and II debacle. Besides the extensive collection of horror works, he is also the author of several non-horror works, including the children’s picture book Zombie in the Basement which was written to help children overcome the perceived stigmas of being different than others.

Check Out the Whispers Trailer: Synopsis: "A young couple grieving the recent death of their daughter move to the countryside where they are haunted by their tragedy and a sinister darkness."
Written and directed by Tammi Sutton, Whispers stars Keeley Hazell, Craig Rees, and Barbara Nedeljakova. The film will be available soon on Netflix as well as on DVD beginning March 21st.
Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.
The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
