About this episode

Filmmaker Thomas J. Churchill (Amityville trilogy, Big Freaking Rat) joins ClassHorrorCast for a raw, inspiring talk on creative control, investor “cookie jars,” and staying fearless without a safety net. We trace his path from child actor to DIY director, the lessons of Devoured, why sound is his “first scare,” and how faith, family, and grief shaped the “Church-verse.” We dig into Amityville as a sandbox (vamps, werewolves, uprisings), why continuations beat reboots, and how Terrifier tapped old-school energy. Plus teases for Three Killer Pigs, Wax Man, and The Salem Chronicles. If you’re an indie creator—or just love horror that swings for the fences—this one’s for you.
