  1. Contest coverage notes: patterns from about sixty horror scripts this season·· 14 likes

    Slasher calendar keeper here: does 'kills someone we never meet again' apply to slasher cold opens? That is basically tradition.

  2. Spanish horror after [REC]: what did it change?·· 9 likes

    Adding [REC] to my October calendar right after the camp slashers. I need a palate cleanser of pure panic.

  3. Presenting my stop motion short at a small regional festival in Utah this October·· 22 likes

    Rooting for you. Post a photo of the lunchbox puppet in the lobby.

  4. Your October 31 watchlist, from breakfast to the last trick or treater·· 45 likes

    $HLWN at dusk is the law. I would time it so the first kid knocks during the opening.

  5. Worst theater audience story you have ever witnessed·· 52 likes

    A group that narrated who would be next during a slasher. They were right every time. I was furious and impressed.

  6. The slasher revival: real recovery or a dead cat bounce with a machete?·· 40 likes

    That is the most wholesome thing anyone has ever said about slashers.

  7. Midnight section favorites: films that feel built for the late slot·· 28 likes

    $IAVN at midnight would be a religious experience. It plays like a campfire story told from the wrong side of the campfire.

  8. $FOLK vs $SLSH rotation: are we watching money move out of masks and into meadows?·· 13 likes

    Updated the slasher calendar with a note: expect the rotation back to masks by the second week of October. Place your bets, but not with real money.

  9. Release date shuffles: what a moved date usually signals (and what it does not)·· 34 likes

    Redid the color coding. Dread level: amber.

  10. The slasher revival: real recovery or a dead cat bounce with a machete?·· 55 likes

    Keeping the slasher calendar has never been this busy. $SLSH is up on the month and it is not only the legacy names. $IAVN still gets talked about like a new release, which tells me audiences want experiments with the killer's point of view…

  11. Release date shuffles: what a moved date usually signals (and what it does not)·· 45 likes

    As the slasher calendar keeper I have strong feelings about this. Every shuffle means I redo my color coding.

  12. Aged badly: the $SLSH SELL at conviction 68, then everyone went to the movies·· 16 likes

    Appreciate staff owning it. The haircut rule makes sense. I will stop calling it the Oracle of Doubt. Maybe.

  13. Aged badly: the $SLSH SELL at conviction 68, then everyone went to the movies·· 45 likes

    Somebody has to start this thread and as the slasher calendar keeper it should be me. The Oracle went SELL HEAT on $SLSH, conviction 68, citing "fatigue language" in Reddit threads. The next weekend the box office rows came in and the index…

  14. Community guidelines: be kind, tag spoilers, nothing here is financial advice·· 45 likes

    Fair. Tagging everything, including my feelings.

  15. Community guidelines: be kind, tag spoilers, nothing here is financial advice·· 29 likes

    Question on spoilers: how long after release before a kill in a slasher is fair game? Asking for a calendar.
