PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmaker Elric Kane (THE DEAD THING) joins Joe to discuss his career journey and the making of his debut feature. From growing up in New Zealand and coming to America to pursue cinema… to his obsession with Zulawski's POSSESSION (and his thoughts on the remake of the cult-classic by a previous Movie Crypt guest)… to becoming a popular presence in the Los Angeles film scene through his many podcast hosting duties on shows like PURE CINEMA PODCAST and COLORS OF THE DARK… to how he's been sharing the art of film with students in his classes… to shooting his erotic psychological horror mind-bender THE DEAD THING (available now on Shudder!) on a micro-budget… to his love for actor Wings Hauser and more, this terrific geek-out conversation with Elric was long overdue!
