Spencer is also the producer of the show “Whores Talk Horror”, in which Sharon (not a whore) & Mindy (also not a whore) discuss new & classic horror films as well as urban legends, ghost stories, horror-themed Americana, etc: https://www.stitcher.com/show/whores-talk-horror

Spencer (& his lovely & amazing wife Sharon) are also also in the midst of producing the film “Unplugged: A Survivor’s Story”, based upon Paul McComas’ novel: https://linktr.ee/unpluggedfilm Point is, people, Spencer is involved in a cornucopia of awesome stuff.
