Welcome back to Fright School! We are kicking off a month of tales of tainted love! The boys catch up on a few things and discuss the state of love in their life. Later, we welcome Erlingur Thoroddsen back to the Wes Craven Book Mobile to discuss his film RIFT (ROKKUR) (2017). Erlingur dishes up a plethora of behind the scenes stories and his personal connections to the film's various locations. We discuss RIFT's Hitchcockian (did we just make up a word?) influence, creation and its relation to repression, and the incredible soundtrack that runs throughout the film. Is it just us or are all those dripping faucets kinda... sexy?
