Screen Crusades: The Adams Family details the labor of love in making Hellbender

- By Matt Rushton -->

Ryan J. Downey connects with Zelda Adams and parents John Adams and Toby Poser - the (actual) Adams family, - about the witchy horror flick’s concept and execution.

John Adams, Toby Poser, Zelda Adams, and Lulu Adams are “the family that preys together” (The New York Times), acting collectively as the writers, directors, producers, and stars of a series of films produced from their Catskills compound.

John, Toby, and Zelda talk with SCREEN CRUSADES' own Ryan J. Downey about how they got started, HELLBENDER (the movie and the band), their next film on the way, and how the horror community embraced them.
