Episode 11 - Lee Waddell - The Original Ghostface

On this episode I share a few drinks with the original Ghostface from Scream 1 and 2, Lee Waddell. 

Lee shares the story of how he broke into the stunt business, kicking off an illustrious career that’s seen him work with legends like Spielberg, Burton, Bay — and of course, Wes Craven. Wes kept Lee on speed dial, and the two collaborated on multiple projects for over a decade.

We dive into the making of that unforgettable opening scene with Drew Barrymore, and how Lee ended up killing one of his childhood heroes — none other than the Fonz himself, Henry Winkler. Lee also shares Wes’ vision for Ghostface, and the film that helped him shape the killer’s movements.

While we talk, we sip on Oban 14 and Michter’s Sour Mash Toasted — and it turns out, Lee has one hell of a palate. He even throws out a couple of impromptu cigar pairings for each pour.

Never in a million years did I think I’d be sipping whiskey with Ghostface himself, but that’s the magic of horror and whiskey — they bring people together and build community. Enjoy this episode and stay spooky!
