Psycho Goreman: Psycho or Psych-Out?
Writer-director-special FX guru Steven Kostanski made a name for himself as part of the renowned Astron-6 collective. Films like Manborg, Father’s Day, and The Editor show his multi-faceted creativity in full force.
With Psycho Goreman, Kostanski and company attempt to mash-up PG-rated family values, alien creatures in latex suits, and apocalyptic bloodshed. It’s a wicked concept…but does it succeed?
So the Story Goes…
Earlier this year, Psycho Goreman premiered on Shudder to enthusiastic fan response. It also holds a strong “fresh” score on Rotten Tomatoes.
On this week’s solo episode, Jonny Numb takes a look at the story, characters, and themes of this offbeat venture, and whether they reflect Astron-6’s high standards…or misfire in spectacular fashion.
Contest Alert!
This episode also contains details on how to win a Blu-ray copy of Christopher Broadstone’s “macabre thriller,” Human No More (my #3 horror of 2020). Listen closely, and good luck to all who enter!

THE LAST KNOCK horror podcast is a Crash Palace Productions’ featured show. Besides this site, you can find THE LAST KNOCK on iTunes and Spotify (and more) with new shows posted every other Sunday at 9 PM ET.
Crash Palace Productions website design and creation from Brian Yount Digital Enterprises with banner, gif, and all THE LAST KNOCK art from Palko Designs.
The Last Knock always supports independent cinema!
Note: What’s up with the one-man shows as of late? Never fear, Jonny Numb and Billy Crash are still The Last Knock duo! But due to work demands, COVID-19 vaccine recovery, jury duty (both at the same time!), and individual writing projects, time has been demanding. The pair will get on the same wavelength soon enough!
(Psycho Goreman movie still shot from Astron-6.)
