## Resource

Show Notes: In this week’s episode, I got to chat with Toby Poser and John Adams about how they each fell in love with horror, why they decided to start making movies as a family, and how they fell into the horror genre along the way. They told me about their process of writing scripts as a family, what they do when they have a disagreement on set, and what it’s like to film movies in their hometown in the Catskills. We also talk about the story for The Glorious Dead and its structure, as well as its future.
