A Conversation With Fright Hype’s Mike Hickey

Today I had the pleasure of talking with Mike Hickey, filmmaker and writer/host of Crypt TV’s Fright Hype, a great program that supplies news and updates about horror films and more. Mike took the time to answer a few of my questions and I would like to share them with you now. KM “How did you get into horror?” MH “As a kid I was into Halloween, more than normal. I stayed spooky.

That really stuck with me.” KM “How did your
