Show Notes
H.P. Lovecraft's work has been largely poorly adapted for film. So we were relatively excited for Richard Stanley's 2019 take on Color Out of Space. He is a legit occult weirdo with a deep love of horror. And Nicolas Cage is basically our Vincent Price. The end result is, well, not all cosmically horrible. We're joined by Jeremy Lassen (Sci-Fi/horror book sales/publishing veteran, Editor-in-Chief of Nightshade Books) for his second appearance on the show. We hit on Susan Sontag's concept of camp, black metal theory, psychedelia in horror, what makes Cage great, Lovecraft's racism, and the recent rise of witchcraft in popular culture.
