Dr AC interviewed on ICONS OF FRIGHT...

Hello friends,

We would like to invite everyone to venture over to Icons of Fright to check out the interview that Dr. AC did with them a few weeks back. Beth K. and he talk about everything from pet projects like HORROR 101 and WildClaw Theatre to the state of the genre in general. She asks great questions and AC does his best to come up with something semi-worthwhile in response. We’ll let you guys be the judge of how they did... Here’s the address or click the title above:

Please do check it out and leave a comment to let us know what you thought. (Hey, you know you don’t *really* want to be working.)
