To celebrate Halloween, join Bloody FM’s The Horror Show as they cover Idle Hands with director Rodman Flender.
Sean and Joe are joined by Rodman Flender in this special Halloween episode of The Horror Show. Flender speaks of the movies that inspired him as a child and discusses being an undergrad in film at Harvard. He goes on to tell how a short-film he made while in the program had staff whispering about his potential expulsion, and how this led to him getting his start in horror and being taken under the wing of the late Roger Corman.
He also recounts how one of his first projects was frankenstein–ing The Terror (1960) and the ways that working with Corman influenced his entire career. He touches on directing the infamous episode “The Scare” of Dawson’s Creek and the inadvertent multiverse he and Kevin Williamson share.
When Joe asks Flender about the soundtrack choices for Idle Hands, it opens the door to a passionate conversation about punk music throughout the decades. He talks about what it was like to direct hands and how the stylistic choices for Idle Hands were inspired by Dario Argento.
Listen to the full episode to hear more about Idle Hands, Flender’s career, his documentary Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop, his favorite movies to watch for Halloween, Terrifier 3 and more!
