Horror Makes Us Happy’s Halloween Episode: Lucky McKee

TAMPA, Florida – The 69th episode of Horror Makes Us Happy will be released Friday, October 28th, in perfect time to
celebrate Halloween this year. In this installment they interview Lucky McKee, director of May, The Woman, and All
Cheerleaders Die. McKee is also known for his contributions to Tales of Halloween, Deathcember, and Darlin’. The
interview will be available on the Horror Makes Us Happy website, and all major podcasting platforms.

The meat of each interview covers their guest’s exposure to horror media, from childhood through adulthood, with an
emphasis on digging up the deeper psychological reasons that guest, as an individual, loves horror. Cohosts Steve
Becker and Chris Whitman hope that after interviewing enough horror fans some interesting trends will arise, ones that
could be handed back to mainstream academia. As they say in their excerpts on their Youtube channel, “There are good
reasons for enjoying horror – but what are those reasons? The real reasons? Not the ones horror fans learn to make
people leave them alone.”
