Dallas filmmaker Bradley Steele Harding has a unique hobby even for most album crate raiders. He collects vintage horror story albums. 'Over a decade ago, I discovered a music blog back when people were uploading music, and it was some guy who collected scary story records from the '60s or...

"From the '50s through the mid-'80s when vinyl was still a viable thing especially for kids, there were spoken word albums by famous people and sometimes not so famous people," Harding says."Some of them were horror themed voiced by people like Vincent Price and Boris Karloff, and they would read short stories. Some were more elaborate like radio plays. Some were just audio stories that kids would listen to on vinyl or adults would play at Halloween parties.
Such a movie would also require some great music that could support the spoken word stories and drive the action of the film. Harding says he knew his movie concept had some real potential to become a living, breathing film when he met his future composer Andrew Jones, who wrote and performed the music with a group of musicians who watched the movie and listened to the stories in real time.
"We were a little bit behind going into 2020," Harding says."We lost an editor, and so I ended up editing the film myself. There are long stories about where this film landed but ultimately. ... The good news is if this film had come out when it was supposed to, it wouldn't have anywhere to go because the pandemic compromised film festivals and I didn't want it to go directly to streaming. I wanted it to have some theatrical screenings.
"I really didn't have as many many lines as a person might think they would have in a 90-minute feature film playing the lead role, but that brought new challenges because I didn't have dialogue to work with," Corbitt says."So where it was less challenging in terms of line load, there was more of a challenge at times because there were no lines, if that makes sense."
