## Resource

As a special bonus, we sat down for an interview with author, writer, and indie horror filmmaker Brad Sykes! In addition to directing films like CAMP BLOOD, PLAGUERS, GOTH, and many others, Brad worked first-hand on a number of Full Moon projects in the 90s, and he's here to share his first-hand experience of working with David DeCoteau, Charles Band, and a number of other FM luminaries.
