THIS EPISODE: INTERVIEW WITH AARON STERNS (“WOLF CREEK 2”)
ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, NHE host Scott Murphy chats to screenwriter and novelist Aaron Sterns about both his cinematic and literary career to date.
Aaron Sterns is the co-writer of Wolf Creek 2 and author of the prequel novel Wolf Creek: Origin. A former lecturer in Gothic & Subversive Fiction, editor of The Journal of the Australian Horror Writers and Ph.D. student in postmodern horror, Sterns is also the author of various Aurealis Award-nominated and Year’s Best Fantasy & Horror recommended short stories, including ‘The Third Rail’ (from the WFA-winning DREAMING DOWN-UNDER) and the dark werewolf-bouncer world of ‘Watchmen’.
Over the course of the interview, Scott talks to Aaron about his earliest horror memories, how he got into writing horror, and some of the key influences on his writing.
Plus, we talk extensively about his work on Wolf Creek 2 — from why he decided to push the franchise in a different tonal direction from the original, to how certain people missed the film’s satirical element, to what inspired the infamous flying kangaroo scene.
