[Exclusive] Preview Mick Garris’ “Post Mortem” Chat With Jeffrey Combs
Horror master Mick Garris’ podcast Post Mortem has been a treasure trove of insights for horror fans ever since launching earlier this year, and fans of the podcast will be happy to hear that Garris’ interview subject for this week’s brand new episode is none other than Jeffrey Combs.
Combs, undoubtedly a true horror icon, first rose to prominence as the star of Stuart Gordon’s Re-Animator, released in 1985. Combs of course played the titular role of Dr. Herbert West, chewing the scenery with a wonderful performance that ensured his status as a fan-favorite actor.
But how did Combs land the role that paved the way for him to become a horror icon? Combs relays the full story to Mick Garris on Post Mortem tomorrow, and we’ve been provided with an exclusive clip that allows you to hear it a day early!
Listen below and don’t miss the new episode of Post Mortem with Mick Garris when it goes live Wednesday, August 16 at Midnight Pacific on both iTunes and Podcast One.
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
