Okay, we're ready for the killer stuff. We're on the set of a movie. A horror movie. They're about to film a killing. Okay, we are rolling. Killers, take a slight step to the right there. There you go. And... Action. Frame. Zap. Cut. Okay, that was terrible. The writer-director is an emerging artist. His specialty, the terrifying world at the dark end of make-believe.
But now a man had vanished, perhaps from that very movie set. And police were involved. As soon as they called me on the phone, I got this weird chill.
Strange events, even beyond the soundstage. I have never in my life felt fear like that. He looked at me and said, I'm being robbed, can you help me? It's like every nightmare you had as a child after watching a scary movie, every nightmare you've ever had, all of a sudden it's right here, like this masked guy is standing there.
It felt like a horror movie come horribly alive. I was terrified. I didn't know what to do. It was like, oh my God, I think I'm going to die. Even the detective was drawn in, obsessed. I was sitting there listening to his story and I had chills going up my spine. But then...

Our latest A-Bind podcast will take us into another world where fantasy seems very real and reality, who knows? Did you feel sometimes like you're in the middle of, you know, Alice in Wonderland or The Matrix or something? I always believed that story to be true right from the start. I'm thinking he killed him and he had filmed the murder.
