'Widow's Bay' creator Katie Dippold

About this episode

Katie Dippold created the new horror-comedy on Apple TV, Widow’s Bay. The show uses plenty of humor, and it nods to the horror greats, but it is not a spoof. It’s earnestly scary! She talks to Bullseye about maintaining the delicate balance of horror and comedy, writing movies that have been on the receiving-end of intense internet discourse, and what she learned writing for Parks and Recreation.
