Director, Slasher, Final Girl, Fanboy

The Masked Killer and the Final Girl join their creator to talk about the “lost” slasher film franchise The Third Saturday in October. Actors Antonio Woodruff and Kansas Bowling join writer/director Jay Burleson to talk with Derek McCaw about walking the fine line between parody and scares. Along the way we talk about the advantages of filming in Alabama, the serendipity of hanging out at Panera, and the challenges of creating an incomplete film franchise in reverse order.

The creative team also offers up some of their favorite overlooked horror films — but you have to watch The Third Saturday in October Part V first.

Both films in The Third Saturday in October franchise are available on Amazon and other digital VOD services.
