Inside Hell Motel with Paula Brancati & Jim Watson

We're checking into Hell Motel, the new horror anthology series from the creators of Slasher, Aaron Martin and Ian Carpenter. Paula Brancati and Jim Watson — both Slasher veterans — talk with host Aaron Sagers about their roles on the new Shudder and AMC+ series that blends true crime obsession with satanic panic and over-the-top kills. In Hell Motel, a group of true crime superfans are invited to the Cold River Motel — the site of an unsolved satanic mass murder. But when the guests get stranded, a fresh murder spree begins, turning their weekend into a deadly reenactment with bloodier results than the original crime. Brancati (as washed-up scream queen Paige) and Watson (as academic Andy) discuss horror fandom, playing flawed characters, their favorite twisted kills, and what makes Hell Motel more than just another slasher. Plus, they reveal behind-the-scenes details from the set and tease the secrets that make this series a brutal, meta must-watch. Watch Hell Motel Tuesdays on Shudder and AMC+ beginning June 17. _______________________________________________________________ The Talking Strange Show with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, as well as experts in all things strange and unexplained.
