This week, Charlie welcomes the one and only Tom Savini to the show. As a pioneering special makeup effects artist, he ushered in the "splatter" subgenre with his shockingly gory FX for George A. Romero's 1978 zombie masterpiece Dawn of the Dead (1978) and then kept breaking the rules throughout the 1980s with film like Friday the 13th (1980), Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984), Day of the Dead (1985) and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986). As an actor, he has appeared in Romero's vampire drama Martin (1976), as "Sex Machine" in Robert Rodriguez's From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) and as a vicious slaver in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained (2012).

He's made over 200 films and distributed hundreds more and along the way has discovered and nurtured such major talents as Francis Ford Coppola, Jack Nicholson, Dick Miller, Joe Dante, Martin Scorsese, Jonathan Demme, James Cameron and many, many more.

Episode 11: John Waters
This week, Charlie welcomes one of the founding fathers of transgressive cinema; a man who broke all the rules and managed to magically make high art out of bad taste. His early films like Pink Flamingos (1972), Female Trouble (1974) and multiple maniacs secured him a rabid cult following of weirdos and his more mainstream efforts like Cry-Baby (1990) and Hairspray (1988) made him a household name. He's a writer, director, author, world traveler, comedian and oracle of Trash movie culture. He's the immortal John Waters and we're excited to have him on the Freakshow.
53 min
Episode 12: Joe Dante
This week's guest got his start - as so many other great talents did - working for Roger Corman during the heyday of New World Pictures, first with the spastic comedy HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD and later with the ferocious Killer fish classic PIRANHA. He chased this early success with 1981’s THE HOWLING, widely considered the greatest werewolf movie ever made. And then came GREMLINS in 1984, the blockbuster film that almost single handedly spurred on the invention of the PG-13 rating. He’s one of the greatest horror and weird fantasy directors in history, he’s Joe Dante and we are honored to have him in the Freakshow!

Episode 13: Larry Karaszewski
This week Charlie welcomes award-winning screenwriter and noted film historian and preservationist Larry Karaszewski to the show.

LARRY FLYNT and MAN ON THE MOON; the Stephen King adaptation 1408 and Eddie Murphy's triumphant comeback picture DOLEMITE IS MY NAME as well as serving as co-director of the film DIRTY WORK, starring the late, great Norm MacDonald.

Episode 14: William Lustig
This week, Charlie welcomes William Lustig - one of cult cinema's real deal heroes - to the Freakshow! As a director, Lustig made an instant splash in his early 20's helming the still shocking and controversial 1980 psychological slasher MANIAC, featuring gory effects by Tom Savini, and then continued evolving his craft with pictures like the MANIAC COP trilogy, the violent revenge thriller VIGILANTE and RELENTLESS. He also founded and still serves as the CEO of legendary home video label Blue Underground where he has spent decades rescuing and restoring some of the weirdest and coolest horror movies ever made.

Episode 15: Eli Roth
This week's guest is not just an accomplished writer, producer, director and actor, he's also a brand unto himself, a contemporary master of horror. Eli Roth's first feature film, 2003's CABIN FEVER immediately established him as an auteur in the genre, a reputation solidified by the success of his merciless, blackly comic 2005 film HOSTEL and its even grislier sequel. Along the way, Eli has given us such savage films as the Italian cannibal film riff THE GREEN INFERNO, the remake of DEATH WISH with Bruce Willis taking over for Charlie Bronson and even the family fantasy film THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS. As an actor, you know him from Tarantino's INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, where played the nazi-clubbing "Bear Jew"; more recently he ushered his hit documentary series ELI ROTH'S HISTORY OF HORROR to the small screen. Roth is a true multi-hyphenate and we're excited to have him on the Freakshow.
