THE STORIES WE TELL IN THE DARK is an exploration of cinema deep cuts, weird behind-the-scenes stories, and forgotten film lore. FILM ON THE FRINGE was a limited series investigating modern cult classics and genre favorites and their connections to magic and mystery. MAGICAL MYSTERY MEDIA was a freeform discussion of paranormal and conspiracy documentaries. Host Adam Charles has floated in and out of the film industry for over four decades. He is an award winning screenwriter who has worked for Walt Disney Television, Amblin Entertainment, and some other companies you've never heard of.
