So it’s the first of October, 30 days to Halloween and we begin the 30 Day Horror Film Challenge with 30 mini podcasts.
Day 1: What was your first horror film?
early prototype for the Fleshlight
So you might be aware of these 30 day film challenges, you’re asked a different question for each day and you answer on Facebook or Twitter. In the run up to Halloween the 30 day horror film challenge is very popular and I want to do a podcast version of it.
My plan is to cover every question in a series of podcasts on the run up to Halloween, my own answer as well as a selection of past guests, friends and listeners answers. So if you want to be part of it have a look at the questions below and send me your answers. Please expand where possible, I want your thoughts and insights and if you feel you need to physically talk about the film you’re more than welcome to send me a soundbite –
email your answers to 30dayhorrorchallenge@gmail.com
Cheers
Bren
