    Post Mortem: An Interview with Sam Walker on The Seed (2022)
    Oct 6 2025

    Writer and director Sam Walker joins E.L. King to talk about THE SEED (2022) — a twisted blend of body horror, sci-fi, gore, and dark comedy. What begins as a girls’ trip in the Mojave Desert quickly spirals into cosmic terror, alien erotica, and mind-bending madness. The film premiered at Beyond Fest in 2021 and is Walker's first full-length feature.

    This episode originally aired in February 2022.

King and horror film enthusiast Katie B. dive into the deep end with an analysis of POLTERGEIST (1982) — Tobe Hooper’s suburban supernatural science-fiction horror that made us all fear the static on our TVs. We unpack the paranormal chaos that descends on the Freeling family, the disappearance of Carol Ann, cursed films, and why the film still frightens audiences.
