Episode 450: In The Seats With....Jeff Lieberman and 'Satan's Little Helper'

Even the creepiest holiday of the year needs an adorable moment....On this episode we get to dial it back for a slice of underrated Halloween fun that audiences really haven't seen since 2004 and has built up a cult following of it's own finally finding it's way back to the universe now on Blu-Ray for the very first time.  Get ready for 'Satan's Little Helper'.Nine Year Old Douglas Whooly is obsessed with the handheld video game "Satan's Little Helper" and annoyed that the attention of his big sister Jenna (Katheryn Winnick) whose just returned home from college is more on her new boyfriend Alex then him.  These two concerns collide on Halloween, when Douglas witnesses a serial killer in a devil mask posing his victims like outdoor Halloween displays.  Now understanding how this is some real carnage going on in this small town, Douglas gladly becomes this Satan's Little Helper; and that not only bad news for Douglas, but for Alex and for Jenna's mom Merill (Amanda Plummer) because now the whole town is in danger from this mad man on the one evening a year we let all inhibitions and logic fly out the window,Ultimately a different breed of Halloween film, Satan's Little Helper is appropriately grizzly in all the right spots but it has a sinister sense of humor that gets wrapped up in some genuinely human moments with some amazing performance from top to bottom.Now out on Blu-Ray from our friends at Synapse Films, we had the unique pleasure of sitting down with the one and only writer/director Jeff Lieberman to talk about the origins of the film, the caliber of the ensemble it's distinct sense of humor that isn't subservient to the BS of life and so very much more.....
