Towards Thee I Cut

Editing is where horror takes shape. In this episode of ETCH CAST, hosts Philip Gelatt and Morgan Galen King sit down with Etch editor April Merl to explore how editing creates rhythm, tension, and atmosphere. They discuss April’s path into editing, the unique challenges of cutting horror, and why silence and pacing can sometimes be more powerful than screams. Plus, in our recurring segment What Lurks in Our Queue, we share what we’ve been watching and reading lately — recommendations to keep your own queue eerie and overflowing. 👉 Follow us on socials: @etchfilm 👉 Subscribe on Substack for behind-the-scenes updates: etchstudio.substack.com
