Split Tooth mainstays Jim Hickcox and Bennett Glace made a near-fatal mistake when they took a drive down a winding mountain pass. The pair barely survived an accident and they may soon wish they hadn’t. Jigsaw himself has a challenge for Jim and Bennett: record podcasts for each episode in Masters of Horror Season 1. The catch? They can’t talk for more than 20 minutes or the room will fill with poison gas.

For the last several years, the smart weirdo contingent of the film world has been telling me that I should watch Mangoshake (2018), and for the same amount of time it’s been on my shortlist of films I’m mad at myself for not having gotten around to. With the release of writer/director Terry Chiu’s second feature, the delightfully named Open Doom Crescendo (2022), it seemed time to rectify my oversight and slam through both films. To call Chiu’s work idiosyncratic feels like an error in scale.

Making a film is nearly impossible and offers little extrinsic reward. At its best, it’s about community and the joy of creating together. Zach Fleming got into filmmaking through friends, and now earns a living producing commercial work as a way to create space to play with people he loves through his own film projects. I talked to him about his approaches to filmmaking and life, the appeals and downsides of the short form, and how hard it is to move through the world with confidence.

What is horror? Is it hanging out with people you don’t fully trust, a little too far outside of town? Is it when everyone else’s costume is cool, and maybe a little sexy, but you’re dressed as Goofy? Is it when you get bullied into doing something you know is a bad idea? Or is it when you come face-to-face with a local legend’s ghost? There’s a bit of pith to the question, because when entering into a contract with media labeled as “horror,” there’s an expectation of physical harm.
