Matt

he/him

I work in film and tv, both behind the camera and in the editing room. I’ve been a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians for over 20 years. Since childhood, I’ve been obsessed with cryptids, the paranormal and conspiracy theories. I believe that everything deserves to be explored, and nothing exists in a vacuum. Every belief we hold, every experience we have and every story we tell is influenced by our background, our situation and the world around us.

Favorite horror movies:

Hereditary, Burnt Offerings, His House, Creature from the Black Lagoon, anything Godzilla, The Ritual, Lake Mungo, Underwater, Amityville Horror (1979), Alien, Trollhunter

Favorite horror books/stories:

The Shining, Pickman’s Model, The Yellow Wallpaper, Was it a Dream?, A Headful of Ghosts, the Night Watch series, Crouch End, Something is Killing the Children

If I was a cryptid I’d be:

Either a cadborosaurus, so I’d be able to swim around the ocean, or Mokele-Mbembe because dinosaurs are awesome

Non-paranormal pursuits:

Woodworking, flyfishing, giving treats to cats

EJ

they/them

As an introvert that thrives on deep, meaningful conversation, I guess I’m a walking paradox. I grew up in a creaky old farmhouse in Upstate New York where I played with frogs and made all the adults call me Macgyver. When I was a kid, I saw something that looked like a sasquatch run through the swamp behind my house. I’m fascinated by what we think we see and what beliefs we hang on to, even as more information comes to us. Let’s get into it.

Favorite horror movies/TV shows:

Parasite, Paranormal Activity, One Cut of the Dead, Hush, Creep, Midnight Mass, Train to Busan, Nope, Midsommar

Favorite horror books/stories:

The Terror, House of Leaves

If I was a cryptid, I’d be:

Bigfoot because you’re always warm, you’re an apex predator, and you live alone in the woods away from people. What more could you ask for??

Non-paranormal pursuits:

Martial arts, knitting/crochet, exploring nature, writing

Matt and EJ continue the series on the Fox Sisters, the founders of spiritualism. With bills piling up, Leah, Maggie and Kate take their act to the next level and conduct the first public seances in history. Plus, we talk bad science of yesterday and today, 19th century social media feuds and the history of parlor magic.
