You are now listening to post-mortem with Mick Harris,

where the most influential voices in horror cinema

will spill their guts, literally.

To the renowned horror director, writer, and producer.

Now here's your host, Mick Garris.

I'm Mick Garris and this is post-mortem.

Every now and then we celebrate a special event with a live audience on the podcast.

We've had memorable conversations in live shows at cinemas and festivals with Roger Corman, David Cronenberg, Larry Fessenden, my nightmare

cinema partners and others.

It's a different experience from sitting in a room together, but the conversation is just as lively.

However, it is another side of conversation, sitting on a stage in front of a screen,

and in some ways it is more of a performance. But it has a life of its own when it's in front of a room full of fans and it always feels special.

This conversation with writer director Duncan Jones and composer Clint Manzel, celebrating the 10th anniversary of their film Moon,

marks the beginning of a new relationship between post-mortem and the Alamo Draft House in Los Angeles, and I'm looking forward to new live events to share here.

The collaboration between filmmaker and composer is a unique and powerful one.

We went deep into that process with David Cronenberg and Howard Shore at the American Cinematek

not too long ago, but every such collaboration is unique unto itself.

Though both Jones and Mansell have many credits to their names, we pretty much keep exclusively

to Moon here. It's a unique movie in many ways. It's independent, imaginative,

and highly ambitious, and sound and music are a huge component in what makes it work.

Duncan grew up with powerful lineage in music,

and yet his interests developed more in the visual storytelling sense.
