Steven Kostanski Talks Deathstalker

Sharpen your swords and slip on those sandals — we’ve got something special for you! Monster Fest is beyond stoked to welcome back Canadian cult hero Steven Kostanski (PSYCHO GOREMAN, FRANKIE FREAKO) with his brand-new slice of retro barbarian mayhem, DEATHSTALKER. Before the film hacks, slashes, and decapitates its way onto the big screen at Monster Fest Melbourne — and then goes on a blood-soaked tour of all four Monster Fest sites later in October — Steven sat down with our pals Ben and Glenn from the Good Movie Monday podcast to talk shop.

In this exclusive chat, they dive into everything from bringing the sword-and-sorcery classic back to life, to practical gore gags, VHS inspirations, and why DEATHSTALKER is the most fun you’ll have with your sword all year.
