This is the Know Fear Cast, the podcast where we dissect horror and all the things that scare us. This is the 15th episode of season seven, and we are watching Lake Placid as part of our series on killer animals.

We are joined by David Gillota to discuss his upcoming book Dead Funny: The Humor of American Horror (coming out in July) .

David Gillota is Associate Professor of English in the Humanities Department at the University of Wisconsin, Platteville, where he teaches courses in writing, literature, and film.  He has published widely on American humor, and he is the author of the book Ethnic Humor in Multiethnic America and the editor of the journal Studies in American Humor.  David is also a lifelong fan of horror, and in his newest book Dead Funny: The Humor of American Horror (coming out in July) he fuses his love of humor with his passion for horror.

The Know Fear Cast is hosted by Matt, Mel, and Lisa.
