In this special, the creator of "Darkplace", Garth Marenghi -- horror writer, dream-weaver -- and his cohorts Learner and Sanchez share their thoughts on the horror genre. More than that, they discuss its history, influences, the process of creating Darkplace, writing in general, hardships whilst recording, working with women and how they "don't die, they always die heroically" in all his books, drunk-driving and last, but definitely great, Garth Marenghi's genius ability to turn into masterpieces everything he touches -- reputation he has to defend on camera.
Fictional descriptions aside, this is a great satire on the "genre" of interviews, which Richard Ayoade would maybe quite coincidentally mock in his book "Ayoade on Ayoade" years later, and the ego of the artist being interviewed, showing his art as a way to his psyche, inserting "meaning" and farming metaphors wherever he can, making it forcefully deeper. A timeless critique.
