  • Summary

  • Illustrator, Ben Walker-Storey has a lot of nostalgia for the bits of Pop Culture that are spooky, monstrous and weird (just no blood, OK?). On the (new) Cheap Chills Podcast, Ben revisits his own memories and those of his guests (who just happen to be his favorite artists, comedians, musicians, filmmakers, etc.) and unpack how these weird toys, forbidden comics and macabre movies influenced our lives.

    Hammer Films vs Disney, The Penguin Book of Comics, Thoughts on Mortality and Collecting
    Jul 1 2024
    This week Ben’s flying solo! First its the odd tale of the time Hammer Films and Walt Disney both set out to make a film about Dr. Syn, the Pirate turned Preacher/ Smuggler.

    Then, in a very special Let’s Check in With Ben, he talks about the emotional roller-coaster ride that was the recent Estate Sale of someone with geeky, Gen X taste and a flair for hoarding.

    Ben also chats about a book that was his first glimpse into grown-up comic book art, The Penguin Book of Comics, 1967.

  • Ghost Hunting with Joshua Sterling of Haunting Season

    Ghost Hunting with Joshua Sterling of Haunting Season
    Jun 24 2024
    The Cheap Chills Podcast is back with a new format! Host Ben Walker-Storey talks with other creatives about the spooky, weird stuff from our younger days and how it influenced the art, film, music et cetera that we make now.

    This week Ben is joined by Joshua Sterling, also known as Haunting Season on TikTok, Instagram and Youtube. He tells Ben about how a friendship made through Twitter led to a ghost hunting trip to Minnesota. And they compare stories about hauntings, sneaking around in churches, collaborating (or not) on films, sobriety, the way our brains envision things (or not) and our random mental associations.

    Not to be a spoiler but the films, The 6th Sense, Alien, Dr Sleep, Terrifier, Terrifier 2, And Your Name is Jonah, the Saw movies, It Comes at Night, Under the Skin, Hereditary, and Pet Sematary come up as well.

    Trailer - The (New) Cheap Chills Podcast
    Jun 17 2024
    Ben Walker-Storey is back for a new kind of Cheap Chills Podcast!

    This is a quick check-in to let you know what we'll be doing here each week.

    For me, there’s nothing better than wrapping myself into a blanket-burrito and checking out something spooky and weird. Whether its a reclusive creep inviting lone travelers into his castle or there are monsters battling it out over Tokyo, I want more!
    (just no blood, OK?)

    I’m also an illustrator, graphic artist and animator and for the last seven years I’ve been creating for my own spooky, weird brand called Cheap Chills.

    But more and more lately, I’ve been wondering about other creators. What are their stories? What drives them to paint monsters or make latex masks, little dioramas of VHS rental stores, synth-wave soundtracks or even their own genre films?

    So for this series I’m going to be talking with other artists and creators about our memories of all things spooky and weird and how they influence what we do now.

    Plus as often as humanly possible I’ll be delving into some deep-dive histories from monster-kid pop culture.
