Interview / Hellbender (2021) with The Adams Family

Psychoanalysis: A Horror Therapy Podcast

In this special bonus episode, Mike had the chance to sit down with the filmmaking quartet the Adams family. This husband and wife directing duo of Nick and Tobey Adams have made seven feature films along with their daughter Zelda, who co-writes and co-directs with them, and their daughter Lulu Adams who appears in their latest film, Hellbender. Currently streaming on Shudder, Hellbender tells the story of a daughter isolated from the world by her mother, lest she unleash the powerful and potentially destructive force that lies dormant within her.

The Adams discuss how lockdowns and COVID precautions influenced the cope of their film and how it also freed them to do almost anything they want. They also discussed composing the music together as a family, how they started making movies together in the first place, what horror influences them the most, and so much more.

Make sure to watch Hellbender, along with their previous film The Deeper You Dig, streaming on Shudder now. Follow them on twitter @adams_films. You can also stream their music on Spotify under the band name H6llb6nd6r.
