Horror and Lovecraft fans, don’t miss this killer chat with director Ryan Smith, the man behind the musical-horror film “Eldritch USA”.
SHOW NOTES FROM THE GODDAMN GUYS:
On this musical episode, the guys welcome Eldritch USA writer and director Ryan Smith! We discuss writing a horror musical, other horror musicals, theatre, being a Ryan, how Bryans are lame, and so much more! TUNE IN OR ELSE!
…
Ryan Smith is known for his work with short films, particularly THE TERRIBLE OLD MAN, a H.P. Lovecraft short story that he adapted for the screen and produced — it was an official selection for the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival. He has over ten years of experience producing creative and commercial film projects for large corporations and local non-profits.
Ryan’s upcoming film ELDRITCH, USA, was produced by Passive Aggressive Films, a Springfield-based production company owned by Smith, who wrote, directed, produced, edited, and completed special visual effects for the film. As a serious horror fan, he pulled inspiration from H.P Lovecraft, Bruce Campbell, and films like Evil Dead and The Army of Darkness.
Smith also co-wrote the film’s music with his nephew Nathan Hurley, a member of the Joplin-based rock band Fox Royale. Together, Smith and Hurley wrote ten original songs for the film, which Hurley performed with his band.
Eldritch USA is an energetic Lovecraftian horror/comedy/musical about sibling rivalry, a backwoods cult, and the lengths we’ll go to to right a wrong. Get ready for cults, banjos, and murders galore!
The film is coming soon to a film festival near you. Keep up with the film and find a screening near you on the film’s website.

AGHP Episode 232: Alice Maio Mackay
On this episode, the goddamn guys sit down with Australian filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay to chat about her newest film, The Serpents Skin!
For anyone that doesn't know Alice's work, you must be sleeping six feet under. She's got 7 feature films under her belt and she's only 21 years old. The Serpents Skin, like many of her other films, tackles a subject from a queer perspective and flips a traditional narrative on its head. This is a story of love, lust, tattooing and just a little dash of possession. One of the most unique and visionary directors to come out in the last decade, Alice isn't stopping any time soon and she is telling stories her way, without compromise, and she is the exact type of artist we love to showcase and tell you about.
Strap in for an episode exploring her career, her favorite collaborators and a fair share of ass kissing from our end.
