    In this compelling episode of Mysterious Goings On, we welcome author Courtney Lund O'Neil, whose new memoir, ⁠Postmortem: What Survives the John Wayne Gacy Murders⁠, delves into the psychological scars left by one of America’s most notorious serial killers. Courtney shares the haunting story of her mother, Kim Byers, who was closely connected to Gacy's final victim, exploring the ripple effects of trauma on survivors and their families.

  • SILVER SCREAMS PRESENTS: A Return of the Living Dead Watchalong 🎃

    SILVER SCREAMS PRESENTS: A Return of the Living Dead Watchalong 🎃
    Oct 25 2024
    In a special episode that's a treat for horror aficionados, host Alex Greenwood and film critic ⁠⁠⁠Lucas Hardwick⁠⁠ ⁠ come together for a SILVER SCREAMS special! Listen in for their takes, reactions, stories, and the usual drivel as they watch (with you) the classic '80s zombie flick RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD. Don't you want to experience the pain of death? It's not a bad question, Burt. So get your DVD or streaming service warmed up, pour yourself a Black Cat cocktail, and prepare for some Halloween fun as we watch along together. Episode is PG-13/R. Mature themes and some drinking are involved. When he’s not working as a Sasquatch stand-in for sleazy European films, Lucas Hardwick spends time writing film essays and reviews for We Belong Dead and Screem magazines. Lucas also enjoys writing horror shorts and has earned Quarterfinalist status in the Killer Shorts and HorrOrigins screenwriting contests. You can find Lucas’ shorts on Coverfly. Alex Greenwood experienced the heart-wrenching unpredictability of the film industry when his debut screenplay project came to an abrupt halt following the producer's untimely death. Now, he flogs his acclaimed John Pilate Mystery Series and badgers friends into reading his award-winning horror stories. Praised for his dialogue, Alex brings a unique voice to mystery, horror, and general fiction.
