 But then they died Who the hell am I?   My name is Nathan Tyree. I host a wacky little podcast called Bloodfest the Podcast. We talk about horror and exploitation movies. Sometimes we have guests. Some of those guests are podcasters. Some of them are famous people in the world of horror. We have interviewed Larry Fessenden (Habit, Blackout, Jakob’s Wife, The Last Winter).  Sarah Lind (A Wounded Fawn, The Humanity Bureau), Harley Wallen (Ash and Bone, Abstruse), Chad Crawford Kinkle (Jug Face).

Bubba Hotep is an Egyptian mummy that was stolen, then washed into a creek near the nursing home where JFK and The King reside. He has come to suck old people’s souls out through their rectums.
