Episode 198: Writer/Playwright Aaron Mark and Deathtrap (1982)

This week we chat with writer, showrunner, podcast producer and playwright Aaron Mark! He's written a number of plays, including the one-woman play Empanada Loca, which he then adapted into the podcast series The Horror of Dolores Roach which then became a Blumhouse/Amazon production! The show is currently streaming on Amazon Prime! We chat about how Aaron got introduced to horror, the state of horror plays and so much more before we dive into Sidney Lumet's adaptation of Deathtrap starring Christopher Reeve and Michael Caine! We talk its wild twists, our first watches, the existential fear that it awakened in Aaron and so much more.

Listeners if you haven't watched Deathtrap we highly recommend giving it a watch first.

Aaron is smartly not on social media, but you can follow his works at his website. And don't forget to check out the podcast and the show on Amazon!
