Welcome to the Following Films Podcast, where we explore the world of filmmaking with the creative minds behind today’s most exciting projects. I’m your host, Chris Maynard, and today, we’re diving deep into something truly special.

On this episode, I’m joined by writer-director Spider One and actor-producer Krsy Fox to talk about their latest horror film, Little Bites. If you’re a fan of dark, thought-provoking horror, this one’s for you.

Little Bites tells the chilling story of Mindy, a mother sacrificing herself—literally—to protect her daughter from a flesh-eating monster. With a cast that includes horror legends Barbara Crampton, Heather Langenkamp, Bonnie Aarons, and a story that cuts deep into the struggles of parenthood.

Spider One, known for Allegoria, brings a deeply personal story to life in this film, while Krsy Fox delivers a powerhouse performance. Plus, with Cher herself onboard as an executive producer, Little Bites is shaping up to be a must-watch horror event.

So, let’s dig in and hear from Spider One and Krsy Fox about what went into making Little Bites, the horror of parenting, and why this film will leave audiences hungry for more.

Welcome to another episode of the Following Films Podcast! In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Stephen Graham Jones, celebrated author, and horror mastermind, to discuss his recent participation in the documentary series First Word on Horror. We’ll unpack his unique perspective on the genre, I ask highly specific questions about The Only Good Indians, and we chat about Wes Craven’s iconic Scream, a film that redefined the slasher genre—along with some fun tangents, including my (possibly) miscredited nod to the house from Wes Craven’s New Nightmare. Is that Mike Deluccas's house? So sit back, relax, and join us for a conversation full of surprises, insights, and, of course, a little horror.

On today’s episode, I’m joined by Emmy and WGA-winning writer and filmmakerPhilip Gelatt to discuss his latest project,FIRST WORD ON HORROR—a fifteen-part documentary series that delves into the lives, inspirations, and writing philosophies of five of the most celebrated horror authors working today.
