In the Garden of Rot
“THE MEETING Sam Carpenter and Will Castle met and formed a bond in 2008 over a mutual interest in the progressive rock band Yes, the history of Richmond, Virginia, and a love of storytelling. They met on all things, a tour of Richmond from the Haunts of Richmond called Shadows of Shockoe.
SAM: It was a very inspirational night. (Will) had all these stories from having grown up in Richmond. I was from Nelson County where we had stories but not really. You could tell they were just repack...aged urban legends and stuff. I talked about doing a film and Will was very interested. You need enthusiastic people to get a film made so right away I knew I needed to stay in contact with him and we started emailing pretty regularly and meeting up in The Fan, where I lived back then. We’d go to the Commercial Tap House and drink beer and discuss what scared us the most. It wasn’t small talk. We got into each other’s heads and really knew each other. He was a great friend.MoreLess
