The Disc ConnectedFilmmaker Interview with Actor/Director Josh Ruben (A Wounded Fawn/Werewolves Within/Scare Me)!!!Josh Ruben is someone that I have seen grow over MANY years. From his time on CollegeHumor starring in and directing shorts to directing feature films Scare Me and Werewolves Within, Josh has developed into an incredible talent that seems to be taking the indie horror scene by storm lately.

GateCrashersInterview with a Scream King Josh Ruben Comedy as a genre relies very heavily on timing to deliver jokes at a full impact. Horror also relies very heavily on timing as well to deliver jump scares or truly unsettling scenes.

He has moved over from being Precious Plum's Mama to being the king of Shudder. On today's show, Josh Ruben chats with...2022-12-0745 min
