Shane Morton - with Cheddar.

In the horror genre, Shane Morton is a creative dynamo.

His work spans film, TV, music videos and special attractions - the Atlanta Zombie Apocalypse and The Silver Scream Spookshow film series, just to name a few near Chattanooga.

This Saturday, Shane - an FX artist, director, actor, writer and “mad scientist” - will appear at “Culture on 4,” presented by the City of Chattanooga in partnership with the Chattanooga Public Library, from 4 PM to 6 PM at the downtown Library.

I spoke with Shane - and Carmen Davis, senior director of the City’s Office of Arts, Culture and Creative Economy.
