Wicked Horror Show Welcomes Indie Filmmaker Mike Lyddon

Independent horror – science fiction Filmmaker Mike Lyddon is a guest on the WICKED HORROR SHOW podcast with hosts Tony and Kevin. They talk about Lyddon’s latest feature length horror anthology movie WITCH TALES, his last film FIRST MAN ON MARS which was shot in and around New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, and his new endeavor, a pre-code horror comics doc titled HAUNTED THRILLS about many of the artists and publishers of sci-fi, horror and crimes comics of the late 1940s and early 1950s.
Also, we discuss THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON and the enormously popular COSMIC HORROR sub-genre in both print and movies.  Fans of H.P. Lovecraft will find this of particular interest.
Question: Was THE BLOB the first film made about Cosmic Horror?
First Man in Mars: The countdown to terror has begun. Astronaut Eli Cologne became the first man on Mars, but something went horribly wrong. Infected by an alien organism, he lands back on Earth during Hurricane Katrina as a savage monster with an unquenchable thirst for human flesh.  First Man on Mars Trailer is presented in the show.
Witch Tales: A Halloween Horror Anthology movie featuring an “enchanting” girl next door who wants to invite you in for a treat….or a TRICK. Witch Tales is Lyddon’s latest feature with three gruesome tales of terror presented by a seductive witch while she concocts a very special brew during Halloween eve.  The English version trailer of Witch Tales is presented in the show.
