The Baron sits down with Kiwi, stunt veteran and maverick performer, Peter Hassall. Peter's history is discussed, his liking of and history with horror. Of course, we would be remiss not to ask him his experience with being the stunt coordinator and performer on Peter Jackson's legendary, Braindead (1992).

We have finally reached the top of Kiwi-Gore Mountain. The end of Peter Jackson's long and gloopy journey through independent filmmaking. Braindead is a feast for the eyes and a test of the sanity. A twisted, hilarious foray into demented humour and an almost Bakhtin revelry in its approach to practical effects and performance. Americans will know this film as Dead Alive but to us down under it will always be Braindead (but beautiful). 💀🍿
