Horror master Chuck Russell — the director behind A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, The Blob, The Mask, Eraser, and The Scorpion King — returns to the genre with Witchboard (2025). In this Talking Strange interview, Russell opens up to host Aaron Sagers about his own beliefs in the supernatural, his hands-on research into pendulum boards, and his personal paranormal experiences. He also discusses bringing Witchboard’s story of possession, deception, and dark forces in New Orleans to life, and what it means to step back into horror after decades of iconic filmmaking — and doing so in a whole new entertainment landscape.

Whether you’re a fan of his cult classics or curious about real-life ghost stories, this conversation dives into the fascinating overlap between Russell’s filmmaking and the paranormal.Have you ever used a Ouija Board? Share your story in the comments.
