In his latest interview/podcast, host and screenwriter Stuart Wright talks to filmmaker Liam Regan (Banjo aka My Bloody Banjo) about his new film Eating Miss Campbell, which has its World Premiere at Frightfest 2022 later this month. A life-long Troma fan, Regan also picks his Top 5 Troma Films, including:
Bloodsucking Freaks (1976), directed by Joel M Reed “As a cultural artefact, and as an example of the worst uses of creative energy, however, Bloodsucking Freaks is a must-see.
