Episode Eighteen - Chapelwaite w/Peter Filardi (Creator of Chapelwaite, Writer of Salem's Lot (TV), The Road Virus Heads North (TV), The Craft, Flatliners)

The Constant Reader Podcast - The Canon of Stephen King

We begin a month long appreciation of the newest Stephen King adaptation, EPIX TV's Chapelwaite. Based on the short story Jerusalem's Lot from the Night Shift anthology, Chapelwaite stars Adrien Brody, Emily Hampshire and genre favorite Julian Richings. Mixing in elements of the short story with mythology established in the novel Salem's Lot, this is a gothic treat for all fans of haunted houses, period drama and well made television.

I was lucky enough to sit down and talk with series co-creator Peter Filardi about the show, how it came to be, and what might be the future for Chapelwaite.

In the coming weeks I will be talking to Evan Lampe of the Hundred Pages podcast about the original short story, as well as talking to Steph Mckenna (The Thirst, Evolution of Horror) about the TV series.

This episode was hosted by Richard Sheppard, with research and support from Dr Linda Sheppard, and technical and sound production by "The Mad Professor" Stephen L. Parkes.
