For our last episode of the 'aughts, we turn the spotlight to a master of many different horror media, Clive Barker. Starting in literature, Barker has since branched out to writing, directing and producing horror films as well as creating different forms of visual and performance art. We turn to one of his most recent productions, 2009's "Dread" which happens to be based on one of his earliest stories from his famed "Books of Blood", a collection of short stories that put him on the map and would later be adapted into famous horror films like Candyman and The Midnight Meat Train. Tune in to hear the Phantom Erik and Lester glow over yet another Master of Horror!
