All horror, all the time. Mostly film, but some books too. And random thoughts about fear, violence, and the art of storytelling. And the pleasure of a pop culture obsession.

new favorite book - Jason Zinoman "Shocked Value"

He also wrote a great series for Slate last week on "How to fix horror". Now I had not noticed horror was broken, but I love his new rules.

1. stop trying to be so respectable
2. kill the backstory
3. embrace the remake
4. gore is good
