"For me, the measure of a good interview is, does it get you thinking and talking about things you don't usually consider.  Do they illuminate good, meaningful corners of your life and work.  This one did exactly that.  I'd do it again in a minute."

Best Selling Horror Writer "The Girl Next Door, Offspring, The Woman & I'm Not Sam"

Not only did he make us feel at ease on the build up to the interview but also knew exactly how to make us feel at ease during too. Interviews can be extremely daunting but Jay Kay shared such an enthusiasm for our project that he was able to ask us some really interesting, detailed and original questions - there was literally never a dull moment. If you get a chance to be on his show, do, you won't regret it!"

Legendary Filmmaker "Fright Night, Child's Play & Masters of Horror"

Jay Kay of The Horror Happens Radio Show has one of the most exhaustive collections of in-depth interviews with artists, filmmakers, producers, actors, distributors, programmers and anyone related to the horror film genre. I had the privilege to be interviewed by him twice and I was very impressed by the level of research and thorough analysis that he had done for my work. It was such a pleasure to answer his questions and go more in-depth during the conversation. Jay Kay's work is instrumental: he is building a legacy, an encyclopedia and contributing immensely to the horror community with all the archives on his site. Some of these interviews will be historical in the future!

Horror Happens Productions as a Brand, encompasses many aspects of horror culture, media and conversation not found anywhere else.
