The Midnight Coterie of Sinister Intruders
Home invasion done the Wes Anderson way. I’d somehow missed this, until the SNL Halloween special. Can’t embed the video, but I can link it, anyway.

Dear Final Girls
Not sure how many slasher stories I’ve written, exactly. There’s this one, there’s “I Was a Teenage Slasher Victim” (also at Juked), there’s “Kissyface” in Unspeakable Horrors 2, there’s “A Survival Guide for the Police Officer Guarding the Final Girl’s House,” and I feel like there’s one or two more floating around in the horrorsphere.
We all need heroes
And I’ve got a new one: http://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/community/fort-worth/article181696671.html Thanks to Angelique Migliore for pointing this out to me.
Slasher Boy Bands, much etc
I’m always either finding these in my inbox or searching them up myself. And they never fail to make my day. Got any more, let me know. Always hard to select which version of “Let the Bodies Hit the Floor” to include, as there’s so many. [ it doesn’t thumbnail every vid, just plays

Halloweenie Flicks
Say it’s four days before Halloween, and you want to cue up some Halloween happiness, kind of sample across the subgenres, try out two or three different tones. Here’s what I rec: Murder Party https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI_DqgxNR7U My favorite horror is always closed-door horror, And Then There Were None style. This isn’t quite as twisty as Agatha

Slasher season 2
I never even reviewed the first season, did I, from when this was a Chiller show? It was fun. It was kind of a ‘grown-up’ slasher. Well, it wasn’t teens-at-camp, anyway. The victim pool’s problems weren’t “what about curfew?” or “where’s the party,” but real, mortgage-paying actual-life kind of problems. There was a wicked knife,
New York Times & Mapping the Interior (& me)
What am I doing in these hallowed pages, right? I mean, by my reckoning, it’s been about forever since I’ve been in the NYT. Thinking . . . 2003, maybe? All the Beautiful Sinners. And that may have just been an ad that Rugged Land bought—I’ve got it stashed away somewhere—so it doesn’t really even

Starlit Wood
Angela Slatter let me answer a few questions about it: The Starlit Wood: Stephen Graham Jones
The statistical approach
Yes, wonderful, thank you, Grady Hendrix. I spent so much of time doing this kind of stuff to stories, to books, to authors—to everything. It’s how I attempt to order the world, such that I can move through it. Nice for a little of that work to already be done: https://www.tor.com/2017/10/18/the-great-stephen-king-reread-final-analysis/
