Pin

Hosted by Adam Clarke and Sarah Chamberlain

Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees were barely mobile, but the titular Pin outdoes them both. Sarah & Adam discuss repressed killers, creepy dolls, Terry O’Quinn, the surprise connections this film has to Canadian Heritage Minutes and Breaking Bad, and more when they pay a visit to everyone’s favourite anatomical doll. Pin: It’s a little bit Psycho, a little bit Magic, and a whole lot of disturbing.

Cynthia Preston.

Quebec character Bronwen Mantel - Mrs. Linden - she played Queen Victoria in one of the original Heritage Minutes which was directed by Curtains’ Richard Ciupka!

The Stepfather, starring Terry O’Quinn.

O’Quinn returned for Stepfather 2: Make Room For Daddy. The less said about Stepfather 3 and the remake, the better.

Will Harris’ Random Roles is a great series of rapid-fire interviews with actors discussing a number of different actors. Here’s Terry O’Quinn’s RR (no PIN mention, sadly).

Random Roles with Jonathan Banks where he barely remembers PIN.
