Jerry Horror sits down with Steve Barton, aka Uncle Creepy, producer, author, and trailblazer in horror journalism, for a deep dive into his new memoir A Comedy of Tragedies: An American Memoir for the Completely Dysfunctional. As co-founder and former Editor-in-Chief of Dread Central, Steve helped shape the internet’s first wave of horror influencers and shares candid stories from a career at the forefront of the genre.
From personal tragedies, to mentorships with legends such as George A. Romero and Sid Haig, Steve’s journey is equal parts inspiring and unflinchingly honest. He also reflects on his pivotal role in the Terrifier franchise, giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at the rise of one of the most talked-about indie horror series of the past decade.
In a must-listen segment, Jerry and Steve discuss the recent Terrifier equity controversy, including issues of profit-sharing, fairness in indie horror production, and the challenges creatives face behind the camera. Whether you’re a fan of horror journalism, indie filmmaking, or the Terrifier franchise, this conversation offers a rare, in-depth perspective on the business, the art, and the dysfunction that drives the genre.
