About this episode

In this episode, I sit down with writer/director Graeme Whifler, the twisted mind behind cult favorites like Dr. Giggles, Deadly End, and the utterly bizarre Sonny Boy (1989) — a film so strange, they shot parts of it with David Carradine in drag, playing a mute woman raising a feral child… and that’s not even the weirdest part. We dive into Graeme’s early love for the macabre, how his fascination with the strange and unsettling shaped his career, and how he broke into the film industry with a passion for pushing boundaries. Graeme opens up about: 🩸 His unconventional journey into horror & filmmaking 🩸 The strange, unbelievable stories behind Sonny Boy 🩸 How he first conceived Dr. Giggles and why the final film wasn’t the twisted vision he imagined 🩸 The hidden stories and shocking facts even die-hard fans don’t know about Dr. Giggles 🩸 His years-long mission to finally bring that darker, more disturbing vision to life with Deadly End (2005) 🩸 His love of cinema, photography, and what drives him as a creator 🩸 Incredible advice for aspiring filmmakers and horror storytellers If you’re a fan of cult horror, behind-the-scenes madness, or just love hearing from creators who walk the darker side of cinema, this is one conversation you don’t want to miss.
