Horror Maestro Greg Nicotero on β€˜The Walking Dead’ and the Art of Bloodletting THE SPECIAL EFFECTS LEGEND REFLECTS ON HIS MAGNUM OPUS AS MORE THAN 1,000 COSTUMES, WEAPONS, AND WALKER PROSTHETICS HIT THE AUCTION BLOCK

I had the pleasure of interviewing The Walking Dead showrunner and special effects legend Greg Nicotero for @heritageauctions upcoming sale. The most fun interview I ever had - especially hearing about how he staged the bloody Crazy-88s scene in Kill Bill.

One of the great honors of my life has been helping write the catalog for the legendary Guillermo del Toro’s Bleak House Collection on sale today @heritageauctions. It was a fascinating study of the objects and inspirations behind one of cinemas singular voices! Follow along at ha.com

Guillermo del Toro almost lost his movie memorabilia in a wildfire. Now, he's letting some of it go A fraction of filmmaker Guillermo del Toro's sprawling collection of horror memorabilia is going up for auction after surviving the Los Angeles wildfires.

Guillermo del Toro is letting go of treasures from his iconic Bleak House collection of props, art, and curios that shaped his films.
Great interview on why he’s selling apnews.com/article/guil...
Proud to help bring this @HeritageAuctions sale to life.

History Meets Galaxy with Tony Gilroy and Mike Duncan Podcast Episode Β· The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart Β· 07/10/2025 Β· 1h 36m

I’m a big fan of both. I think gilded age is getting better now that there’s a bit more conflict.
Also - Jon Stewart’s extended conversation about the show with Tony Gilroy and historian Mike Duncan is excellent! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Love how The Walking Dead employs so many actors from The Wire, whereas Fear the Walkjng Dead draws from the pool of Deadwood actors.

Love The Gilded Age, but what if they did an in-character aftershow where the characters just complain about each other? Like The Valley’s aftershow but with corsets.
