"They're coning to get you, Barbara." One of the most iconic and oft-repeated lines in horror movie history and we have both the person who said it and the one he said it to on The Kingcast to talk all about the legacy of George A. Romero's genre-setting 1968 classic Night of the Living Dead, the impact that it had on Stephen King, and their own personal favorite King stories.

Judith O'Dea and Russ Streiner are delightful and filled with so many stories about Romero, making a genre classic, and all the fallout, both good and ill, that came from that experience.

There's no better duo to spend your lead up to Halloween week with than Judy and Russ. Vespe and Brez ain't chopped liver, either.

Happy Halloween and if you like what you hear, you can support the show with some bucks over at www.patreon.com/thekingcast and your support will unlock hundreds of bonus episodes.

The last thing we expected to arrive in ye ol' Kingcast mailbox was an email from Disney+ saying "hey, we think there's a Stephen King connection you might like in our super popular family-friendly cartoon series." Thankfully they did reach out, though, because we ended up with this delightful chat with Big City Greens's co-creator, Shane Houghton, who arrived to fill us in on getting King himself on as a cameo in their brand new Halloween episode.

We talk about what it was like for a die hard King fan to work with his favorite author, how King has repeatedly reintroduced himself to new generations going back to the early '80s, and all the King connections in this new episode.

There's also some (non-spoiler) talk about the new King, a Talisman sequel called Other Worlds Than These, and some Dark Tower discussions.

Houghton was a very chill dude and had a lot of great insights.

You can check out Stephen King's Big City Greens episode right now on Disney+.

Also, a big thanks to our sponsor Morsels, a new horror thriller novel by Abe Moss, available now wherever books are sold!

This past weekend The Kingcast held a live show at Fantastic Fest in Austin, TX. The guest was genre filmmaker Mike P. Nelson who was at the fest for his new flick, a giant killer snake tale called Beware Boiuna starring Jessica Rothe, Kiana Madeira, and Kingcast alum Logan Marshall-Green. It must also be noted that Mike was just announced as the director taking over the SAW franchise.

He's a good dude and joined Vespe on stage at the raucous Highball to talk a bit about Joe Hill and Stephen King's collaboration: Throttle, a story he's actively trying to get the rights to. We also pit his huge constrictor antagonist from Beware Boiuna against some large Stephen King creations and talk through who might come out on top.

It's a fun chat with a noisy crowd, the exact kind of thing you expect from a live show.
