Axel Cohagen, so good to talk with you, sir. When you were on last time, we were talking about a horror movie marathon that you do, and I guess you are ready to actually bite the bullet and take part in that.

Absolutely. It is Axel Scares. That's how you can find it on Instagram. AXEL scares. It's also Axel's Cares. So it kind of works both ways. I will be watching 20 new to me horror movies over the course of two and a half days from September 13th to the 15th.

How many years have you been doing this marathon?

Oh, Lord.

It started in 1995.

That was back when being a movie guy was kind of a cool thing.

And so a buddy and I, Scott, figured out we could use that as an excuse to put an article

in the teen section of the local newspaper.

And Mr. Movies, which was a video store, let us check out for free 20 movies.

Actually, the first time we checked out 21 and only had time for 20, which is okay.

The last one would have been Barfly, and I don't know that Barfly would have gone down well after watching so many movies.

So then the next year he was at college and I did it.

In those first two years, it was any movie.

It didn't have to be scary movies.

I did it just for fun in, I don't even remember what year, but another video store was going out of business, so I spent $20, got 20 VHS tapes, and just binged them.

Last year, I decided it'd be fun to do again because a horror convention I normally went to didn't have the guests I was looking for, and I had decided not to go.

And I was missing that feeling because it gets me excited for the Halloween season.

So I thought, why not do the marathon again and use it to raise money? So last year it was

for suicide prevention. And this year, it's a little more specific. I am raising money for the

Trevor Project, which is very important in providing mental health resources to LGBTQIA plus youth.

So why the switch up with charities?
