- Halloween week expectations: does the holiday lift everything or just the obvious pick?
Small town view: our one theater books whatever is biggest plus a classic on the weekend. Concentration is not a theory here, it is the only option.
- Is folk horror peaking, or just putting on another straw hat?
Small town dread readers have been here forever. Let the trend chasers wander off. More quiet villages for the rest of us.
- Page One Friday: share the opening line of your script (week 38)
EXT. MINING TOWN MAIN STREET - DAWN. The school bell rings. The school has been closed since 1986.
- Horror books for autumn: long, small town, lots of weather
Please make that list. That is my entire aesthetic.
- Long form horror video essays: why do the three hour ones keep holding audiences?
Big fan of long books, so naturally a big fan of long videos. The format rewards patience, and horror people are patient. We sit through slow burns for fun.
- The Digest view is perfect for my parents (appreciation post)
Idea for the Digest view: a 'what is everyone rewatching' line. My uncle only watches things he has already seen.
- Logline critique thread: post yours, get honest (kind) notes
A retired schoolteacher in a dying mining town realizes the children she taught forty years ago have all come home, unchanged, and none of them remember leaving.
- Cozy horror for people who scare easily?
Beetlejuice. Casper. Hocus Pocus. Classic, cozy, safe.
- Nordic slow horror: long winters, long films, and $LTRO
Small town dread plus snow is my favorite combination. Everyone knows everyone and still nobody talks. Very close to the long books I love.
- $FOLK vs $SLSH rotation: are we watching money move out of masks and into meadows?
Folk and slasher also overlap more than the tickers suggest. A killer in a small isolated town is both. Where do those land?
- Horror books for autumn: long, small town, lots of weather
Agreed. Also $PETS for the ultimate 'small town, bad idea' read. Long, sad and very autumnal.
- Horror books for autumn: long, small town, lots of weather
Autumn reading thread. I want long books, small towns and weather. What is on your nightstand?
- The 90 day view vs daily noise: which one should a normal person look at?
Long books, long charts. Makes sense to me.
