It's The Chamber! It's Video of the Damned! It's Chamber of the Damned! A special two-for-one episode with your host Brodie Hubbard and extra special guest co-host Kolleen Carney Hoepfner from FANGORIA. It is also the final Chamber, as far as we know for now, but the first of a few 2025 Video of the Damned review specials at the mighty Morbidly Beautiful network. Let's look back at the year in horror with this end of year / new year special review show of the Best and the Rest of horror in 2024. Thanks as always to Lil Boodang for contributing our theme song, "Itchin' 4 The Blood."

Award-winning horror producer, writer, director, and FX legend Joe Castro enters The Chamber to discuss the latest entry in his unpredictable and disturbing franchise, TERROR TOONS 4. We talk about breaking into the business via the sitcom ROSEANNE, his views on the tightly knit FX community and how reality television played a part in unraveling it, some of the names he's worked with and films on his resume that you have enjoyed (or should go enjoy!), how both the visceral and the unexplained play their part in great horror, and his best advice for aspiring artists.

This week, THE CHAMBER welcomes Kristin Garth, a poet and prose writer from Pensacola, Florida. Her work covers dark territory about sex workers, the men who try to possess them, and other sketchy and scary happenings in the American underbelly. This discussion runs the gamut from terror to true crime, examining not only Garth’s work, but the type of real life horror that inspires everything from Ti West’s X, PEARL, and MAXXXINE, to FREEWAY (1996) or BARBARIAN, to Aron Beauregard’s viral extreme horror lit hit PLAYGROUND. But no spoilers here as we delve into Garth’s new collection DADDY, coming soon from Anxiety Press, and her previous book YOU DON’T WANT THIS. Some trigger warnings ahead though, as we talk about the trauma of abuse and assault, murder and violence, and real life figures like Jared Fogle, the Menendez Brothers, and Mark Salling, along with their crimes.
