THE AMERICAN PSYCHO - NEWSLETTER #23
OFF TO THE WITCH returns this week with a our latest newsletter. I’ll be back in two weeks with a brand new episode and guest.On this week’s newsletter I’ll give you an update on some of the projects that I’ve been burning the midnight lamp to forge and also to discuss a subject that’s all at once fascinating and disturbing.In 1990, author Bret Easton Ellis wrote a first-person, macabre satire of a twenty something, privileged investment banker, Patrick Bateman. The fictional Bateman character is also a psychopath. He is delusional, vicious, shallow and slowly descending into his own over indulgence most foul and wicked.Ellis later admitted that the Bateman character was somewhat autobiographical as he was consumed by what a majority of our narcissistic culture is ruled by today. Does Patrick Bateman as an archetypical character walk among us? Could it be your doctor, lawyer, teacher, boyfriend/girlfriend or our next president? Join me tonight for a discussion regarding the true monsters among us…Tonight’s newsletter premieres at 8:00 pm ET on all podcast platforms, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts and more.The new episodes also premiere on my YouTube channel at OFF TO THE WITCH.If you’re new to the podcast you can listen to over 100 episodes in our back catalog anytime.Stay tuned for much more.#christophergaretano #offtothewitch #americanpsycho #podcast #psychopath #serialkiller #newepisode

HORROR BUSINESS - with special guest Terry R. Wickham
EPISODE #82
Twenty years ago, I completed a little documentary, shot on video tape, regarding the struggles and dreams of various independent horror movie makers. I knew then the term “independent film” was a bit of a misnomer in the popular zeitgeist as the movie makers I profiled didn’t have benefactors in the industry. They weren’t praised or beloved. They were unknown to most. Almost all of them were paying out of pocket, and had no business plan or pathway carved for themselves. There was certainly no guarantee for success and most likely the odds were stacked against them. It seemed their desire exceeded their ability in many cases. I understood that very well as Horror Business was made under the same circumstances. I was fresh out of film school when I started shooting and had nothing but a mini DV video camera and an idea.(Horror Business trailer - 2005)https://youtu.be/TV85Yr61J7o?si=rK_Jxh4dvxRgL_NrThe new episode of Off To Witch, Is an honest conversation (in the tradition of Horror Business) with a movie maker who shares a common denominator with all filmmakers from Stanley Kubrick to Ed Wood. It’s that irresistible compulsion that drives you, for better or for worse, through any obstacle to make motion pictures no matter what the consequences.Join me as my guest this week is Terry Reid Wickham, a director who has made truly independent horror pictures for over thirty years and his dream and obsession, that has not diminished, only grows stronger at the dawn of his new project.
