One of the reasons why is because they weren’t particularly well-done. So it’s this progression of simple campfire ghost stories that have led into novels and into movies that’s something that really resonates with me.Īnd Kc, I also wanted to ask you, given that you developed We’re Alive into this audio drama, were you a fan of any particular radio dramas or things like that?

So when the movie came out, I was right there I was probably eleven years old when it came out. And then I got a little older, and I heard about the Amityville Horror book, and I read that, probably a little too young to read it, and that just terrified me. That’s really where I fell in love with the idea of the short-form ghost story, or, as we like to call it, the campfire story, where you just sit around a campfire and say: “Let me tell you what happened to me two weeks ago,” or “What happened to a friend of mine three weeks ago.” And so those kinds of stories really resonated with me. Reading that book, I remember being very, very scared by it.

I remember when I was fairly young, probably under ten, and I got a book, I think probably through school, and it was basically a series of ghost stories that were supposedly based around my local area (basically Ontario, Canada).
How about David, though? Stephen King fan? What was your voyage into horror?ĭavid Cummings: For me, it wasn’t so much Stephen King in my early days - I discovered him as I got a little older. Those types of movies where it’s very claustrophobic, and you’re discovering something evil inside - I think it’s the perfect setting for a horror film. I think - the name eluded me for a minute - it’s the horror film where they’re trapped inside of the cave, and they’re trying to get out . Kc: Well, with horror movies, there’s so many . . . Even his stuff that is non-horror like Shawshank Redemption, he’s always able to just have a solid, good story.Īnd were there any other particular horror authors or horror movies that really made a big impression on you? Kc: I’d say I was probably around thirteen or fourteen. How old were you when you started getting into Stephen King? I don’t know what it is about his horror stories, but they always have some sort of really cool angle of story-telling and characters, and at the same time are still pretty horrifying. Kc Wayland: Personally, I am a big Stephen King fan. My first question to you guys is: just how did you first become horror fans? Did you watch movies? Or books - what did you read growing up? Kc, why don’t we start with you, and just tell us a little bit about your road to becoming a horror fan?
