Bonus Episode - Exploring Horror with Stephen Indrisano

In this special bonus episode of GGE, I'm joined by Stephen Indrisano to chat about the Horror genre; something I've always steered clear of because I'm a super wimp. Stephen joined the podcast to talk about things like; what makes something horror, how horror changes with society, how difficult it is to actually scare someone, and horror's connection with the environment.Stephen is a DC-based voice actor, writer, and podcast producer of all things Horror. He produces Bloody FM's Regarding Dracula, and he can be heard on Mayfair Watcher's Society, The SCP Archives, and ROGUEMAKER. His upcoming docu-horror, Shelterwood: A Suburban Gothic is crowdfunding in July of 2023.
