31 days of Halloween, day 31: writing horror

October 31, 2019October 16, 2019Leave a comment

Since it is the last day of Halloween, and Nanowrimo Eve, the list today is horror books and movies about WRITERS!

31 days of Halloween, day 30: disability rep

October 30, 2019October 19, 2019Leave a comment

I've tried to collect horror here with positive (or at least, not damaging) portrayals of disability.

31 days of Halloween, day 29: based on Ed Gein

I had originally meant to include multiple serial killers in this blog post, but then I found that all the books and movies were based on just one: Ed Gein!

31 days of Halloween, day 28: prairie horror

October 28, 2019October 16, 2019Leave a comment

Not to be confused with Western horror, this list of horror stories set in the prairie is more about wide open spaces and harsh, isolating winters.

31 days of Halloween, day 27: high school horror

October 27, 2019October 16, 2019Leave a comment

High school was not the greatest time of my life, which must be why horror stories set in high schools are so common.

31 days of Halloween, Day 26: book/tv pairings

31 days of Halloween, day 26: book/tv pairings

October 26, 2019October 5, 2019Leave a comment

Sometimes there's a vibe between a TV series and a book that is not its source material, and that is the list for today.

31 Days of Halloween, Day 25: Christmas Horror

31 days of Halloween, day 25: Christmas horror

October 25, 2019September 30, 2019Leave a comment

The 25th of October means... that Christmas will be here in two short months!

31 days of Halloween, day 24: Horror on Ice

October 24, 2019October 16, 2019Leave a comment

If there's one thing I fear, it's the coming of winter each year. I hate being cold, and I know I'm not alone - which is probably why this list was so easy to make!

31 days of Halloween, day 23: Found Footage

31 days of Halloween, day 23: found footage

October 23, 2019October 10, 2019Leave a comment

Horror novels don't have "footage," but they can include documents, testimony, and photographs to try to fool you into thinking the novel is something real.

31 days of Halloween, day 22: Boogeymen

31 days of Halloween, day 22: boogeymen

October 22, 2019October 6, 2019Leave a comment

It's one of our earliest fears, the boogeyman in the closet. This creature goes by many names, but a few things remain the same: he is a shadowy entity who preys on children.
