A quick trilogy of 3 wildly unrelated tidbits
Added 2025-04-21 13:00:50 +0000 UTCHowdy! Some stuff fresh off the haunted newswire:
1. Artist Eamon Cowan has written and illustrated a free graphic novel adaptation of the 2024 story tempt (from A Quick Quintet of Terror)… check that out here:
https://globalcomix.com/read/5a5f0ba0-7d6c-4960-85bd-e873e75f4234/1
This one has a fun frame-by-frame feature; activate that and start reading by moving your cursor over to the right side of the screen and then you can begin clicking through. Took me a minute to figure out.
2. SpectreVision, a film production company that also features podcasts of interest for paranormal fans, is hosting Knifepoint Horror for me now on its own site:
https://www.spectrevision.com/podcasts/knifepoint-horror
This, along with your dumbfoundingly great Patreon support, will enable me to write and record an original story every month through next April, and also get with some peeps who are dedicated to spreading unusually thoughtful horror far and wide. Some stories I’ve written which have never actually appeared in the podcast feed (but which you already know) will be brought into it between the new stories. As always, listening here on Patreon will guarantee that you hear and download the tales as you always have—with no intros, no promos, no ads. Purists rule!!
3. Incredibly important question: Which of these slightly goofy (or sometimes real goofy) horror/suspense movies would best be served by a very serious longform first-person audio story treatment, converting it into something much spookier? (SPOILER: I don’t see myself ever having time to actually do this, but a man can dream…)
Comments
I think a Soren Narnia treatment of Street Trash would make for an interesting read!

2025-05-07 14:44:13 +0000 UTCHalloween 3 is already basically perfect in its inexplicable madness--Conal Cochran applauds Tom Atkins (I'm sure he has a character name, too, but come on--it's Tom Atkins) for defeating him, the robots (?!), the most mind-bogglingly evil plan of ALL TIME being explained away as "mischief" by the villain. Damn. One slight rotation of the vibe and you have an absolutely terrifying descent on your hands. That being said, bro, you made blueberries scary (well, giant ones that kill, anyway), so I'm sure you'd rule on any of these.

2025-05-07 14:32:14 +0000 UTCI always thought the eerie song the landlord’s daughter sings would wind up on the radio sometime in the middle of the night as I’m driving and I’d hear it and run off the road.

2025-05-04 10:14:59 +0000 UTCThe 1973 Wicker Man could be interesting. It’s got some genuinely creepy moments, but there are quite a few VERY goofy and VERY 70s scenes (landlord’s daughter, anyone?) which would be fun to see in a more serious context. Also, Edward Woodward is giving it 120% throughout, which works both ways depending on the scene. I haven’t seen the newer Nic Cage version, but would love to see THE BEES!! in a really scary story. (Ok, there have been ants, but not bees!)

2025-05-04 03:38:43 +0000 UTCI just noticed that the RSS feed still points at knifepointhorror.libsyn.com as its homepage, which doesn't link the SpectreVision site or episodes after stranglehold 🙃

2025-04-30 06:03:45 +0000 UTCHow about a version where it's half-snow, half-nougat? I always wanted to write a nougat creature.

2025-04-28 22:57:30 +0000 UTCSnowbeast from 1977! I am all for a new take on the ugly hats protection field theory, crowns crushed underfoot by screaming mobs, and faces being eaten off screen!

2025-04-28 21:48:36 +0000 UTCI haven't seen it mentioned, but I could have easily missed it, what about Creep?

2025-04-27 06:31:50 +0000 UTCYet still no mention of "Death Bed: The Bed That Eats"

2025-04-25 23:20:57 +0000 UTCWhat an explosive bunch of responses….Soren, you really lit a fire under our horror loving asses
