Halloween Rob and Slim Show Features Return of Isaac
Isaac Thorne called in live to the Halloween Spooktacular episode of The Rob and Slim Show on October 26, where he read an abridged form of his newest short tale of dark horror titled “Decision Paralysis”. In addition, Isaac talked with the guys about early voting, audio acting, and upcoming film productions based on his work.
“It was awesome to be back,” Isaac says. “They’re still crass, still hilarious, and the episode featured an incredible lineup. I can’t believe I ended up on the same show with Bleeding Critic and a story being sexually assaulted by a skeleton.”

My Little Rascal Productions To Film Isaac Thorne Stories
My Little Rascal Productions, which is an independent film company based in Lancaster, Penn., is collaborating with horror short story author Isaac Thorne to produce film adaptations of several of Thorne’s works. Production of the films is slated to begin in 2017.
“MLRP is proud of this new collaboration and we’re confident it will be a successful one,” a production company representative states. “Isaac Thorne’s short horror stories are not only good old fashioned scary, but thought-provoking as well, and we’ve always felt that’s the best kind of horror.”
Thorne adds that he’s excited to see his work translated to the screen. Two of his stories have already been adapted for audio theater, he says, but “the screen can add a whole new dimension of storytelling within the tale.”
“I was approached by My Little Rascal after connecting with them on Twitter,” Thorne continues. “We share some indie creative experiences, and I like their vision for how my tales could be interpreted for the screen. I’m excited to launch into this phase of storytelling with them.”

Diggum Synopsis
When personal tragedy strikes, some men pray. Other men despair. This man goes to war.
Meet Diggum, the local cemetery caretaker, who lives in a small cottage at the edge of the lot. Diggum has spent most of his life angry with God, whom he blames for the devastating house fire that cost Diggum his family.
But the caretaker has a secret. It is a secret he will carry to his own grave. It is a secret that he hopes will finally get him his ultimate revenge on God.
DIGGUM is a short tale of dark horror from the mind of Isaac Thorne, a nice man who only wants to provide you with a few fun frights. His story is one of rage and revenge. At some point in our lives, we all ask the “why” question. This gravedigger demands an answer.

Talk2Cleo Interviews Isaac Thorne
Podcaster Cleo (@Talk2Cleo), of Talk2Cleo, recently interviewed author of short tales of dark comic horror Isaac Thorne. The topics ranged from growing up a nerd to horror in general.
“I was happy to visit with Cleo for that half hour or so we spent chatting,” Thorne says. “I know horror isn’t her thing, but she’s an incredible interviewer and relates so well to her guests. It was a fun time.”
He adds that because of the time difference between them, he was being interviewed at midnight on his side of the world while she was performing the interviewing at 6 a.m. on hers.
“Funny how time flies,” he quips.
During the interview, Thorne revealed that he intends to release a new short tale of dark horror titled DIGGUM in the fall of 2016. In addition, he recommended that fans of horror and independent artists check out the stellar work BleedingCritic (@BleedingCritic), Liane Moonraven (@LianeMoonRaven), and James Jay Bryhan (@JJBryhan) are all creating for the genre.
“They’re doing great work,” Thorne says. “I’ve enjoyed it a hundred percent.”
