A few months ago Michael Spedden of the Fowl Players Radio Podcast invited me on the show to discuss my novel Chapel Street and some of the highlights of my career as a screenwriter. He recently invited me back for Halloween to talk about horror movies, which led to a journey down memory lane as we also discussed some of our favorite bygone movie palaces in Baltimore. It was a great talk and I am grateful that Michael had me on the show again!
