Bite star Elma Begovic and director Chad Archibald discuss the new movie, Bite.

After a bachelorette party, an infected bug bite causes Casey (Begovic) to exhibit insect-like symptoms a la Gregor Samsor in Metamorphosis but with a twist.

According to IMDb, “Between her physical transformation and her wedding anxiety, Casey succumbs to her new instincts and begins creating a hive that not only houses her translucent eggs, but feeds on the flesh of others…”

There was a sold out screening in Montreal (Fantasia Fest) where barf bags were handed out and two people reportedly fainted.

Elma talks about moving to Toronto and the unconventional way she scored the lead role in this horror flick and what inspired her role’s ticks (physical ones, not the bugs) .

Director Chad Archibald’s fiancé’s sister returned from a Guatemalan trip and was overcome with random bug bites. And we learn that this spurred the film’s genesis. We also chat about how the icky effects for Bite were created.

coutoWe first came across Dayton, Ohio filmmaker Henrique Couto’s work in Babysitter Massacre. He’s a guy with the talent to do a lot with a little.

In this special episode of the Really Awful Movies Podcast, we chat with the indie director about Scarewaves, Calamity Jane’s Revenge, The Faces of Schlock, A Bulldog for Christmas and Haunted House on Sorority Row. We talk about Alternative Cinema, how he made his first feature at 18, how he casts, shoots and scores film and his battles with depression.

Couto started out as Dr. Freak, “the world’s youngest horror host,” which he started at the age of 12 on cable access. He graduated (though not literally) to selling his work in high school halls, much to the chagrin of his principal.

Now a full-time film maker who works at a prodigious rate, he’s branched out from horror into romantic comedy and period Westerns. Can’t wait to see where he’ll go next.

Victoria Price discusses her legendary father, Vincent Price.

Our guest Victoria Price wrote Vincent Price: A Daughter’s Biography. The book shows the man as a husband, father, friend, artist, writer, connoisseur and an all-around lover of life.

On this episode of the Really Awful Movies Podcast, Vincent’s legacy, his appreciation and respect for the arts, what he brought to the horror genre and his family life are discussed.

On the podcast, we find out that Price loved doing horror because he was really able to sink his teeth into the roles. He never wanted to be a leading man, he wanted to find a way to become a character actor. And what a character he was. There will never be another.
