To kick off the Halloween season, we're bringing you a lovely (& spooky) chat we had with director, writer, podcaster, producer, & Dread Central's Editor-in-Chief Mary Beth McAndrews on the powers of found footage horror. We cover the OG 1999's The Blair Witch Project & 2022's gore-filled entry into the shaky subgenre, The Outwaters.
