Ti West & THE INNKEEPERS Interview - A Merry Horror Christmas (Fright Bytes Ep. 15)

As the Christmas holidays approach, some genre fans have mixed feelings; Christmas is about peace, love, and joy (amongst other non-horror themes), and Halloween is long over. Television stations are playing Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer on repeat overdrive, but if you're lucky, you may be able to catch The Nightmare Before Christmas (it's as close to horror as you are going to get this time of the year). Sure, Christmas isn't really a time of thrills, chills, and scares - but this month's episode of FRIGHT BYTES is going to make you feel much better about the holidays!

FRIGHT BYTES hosts Lianne Spiderbaby (Fangoria contributor) and Steve Mac are reconciling Christmas cheer with a little Christmas horror! What should you buy the horror lover for Christmas this year? Lianne and Steve count down the top 10 gifts that will have genre lovers screaming at the top of their lungs with Christmas joy!

Also in this episode is an interivew with director TI WEST (The Innkeepers, The House Of The Devil). West's latest film, THE INNKEEPERS, holds the #1 spot on several "Top Horror Films of 2011" lists, so check out the interview with West about how he came up with the idea for the film, the ghost story theme, casting, and his kareoke skills.

In this episode, the exploitation film segment DIARY OF THE DEUCE returns, featuring the film MAD FOXES (perhaps one of the craziest exploitation films you'll ever see), and a few other surprises as well!

Most boring horror movie I've ever seen. If it even was a horror movie... More like comedy.
