Ep 439: Adam Marcus

The Movie Crypt

PUBLIC VERSION. In this special 2.5 hour episode (for our Patrons) filmmaker Adam Marcus (JASON GOES TO HELL: The Final Friday, CONSPIRACY, SECRET SANTA, co-writer TEXAS CHAINSAW 2013) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen in the ArieScope studio for a conversion about his career journey that winds up being one of the very best episodes of this podcast that you’ll hear this year. From Adam’s childhood growing up around the industry… to the pros and cons of attending NYU… to Adam’s personal relationship with Sean and Noel Cunningham and how it lead to him directing JASON GOES TO HELL: The Final Friday at just 23 years old… to the challenging production, the controversial creative decision of having Jason Voorhees body swapping through characters rather than being on screen throughout the run of the film, and the film’s legacy that will forever be a permanent part of Adam’s life and career… Adam pulls the curtain OFF on not just JASON GOES TO HELL (you’ll never see the film the same way again) but on the business of making horror movies in general. Dr. Arwen provides “Hollywood Therapy” for a screenwriter looking for some preparation suggestions before seeking thoughts from trusted readers, opinions are shared on HALLOWEEN KILLS, and the boys reveal who will be opening Yorkiethon 6!
