“by the way that your words bodies think of the genre as a whole, and I would like to see a bit more of that wildness and other genres.”

“I would love to see other genres be more inviting of newness, as in new faces, new filmmakers, new wild directions, unexpected turns, unexpected narrative choices, give me something that feels new, something wild and left turn, give me someone who isn't going to be, you know, the I know we're having a lot of conversations in the culture about what makes a movie star. Give me someone who isn't a movie star yet and give him a put him front and center in a film that pushes them as performers in a way that, you know, Midsummer pushed Florence Pugh in the way that the witch pushes Anya Taylor Joy in the way that us pushed Lapitano. You know, there's so many amazing performances in particular that exist in horror that I feel like are constantly undermined.”

“Exactly, we have no idea because it is a genre that allows for unpredictability, for wild choices more than any other, you don't need famous faces, you don't need a huge track record in order to be able to go and make a horror film that has always been the case for the genre. You know, some of our greatest living filmmakers have started out making low-budget horror films because that's the thing that they were allowed to do. And it's also the space they've been allowed to experiment the most. That's what I'm excited about. I don't know. I'm here to be surprised.”

“And I as a very organized person, I will watch all of it and I will log my reviews for my own enjoyment. But I genuinely think aesthetically, thematically, in terms of voices, you know, who's going to be the next Anya Taylor Joy? Who's going to be the next Daniel Kalia that we discover through?”

“Oh, I'd love more mermaids. You know, also true, I would like more mermaid horror or aquatic horror in general. But that's just personal and that's for funsies. I genuinely don't know what the genre holds and the feature. I think it would be terribly presumptuous of me to try to prognosticate things. And that's why I love it. There is no phase four, five or seventeen for horror. It's wildly unpredictable.”

“I'm not particularly sure that true crime is interested in those ideas I think something else animates that genre and like I was saying before I think there is a lot of internal wrestling that true crime fans like myself even the word fan feels wrong Consumers of true crime, we have to wrestle as to what we're watching and what we're reading or listening to and why it's being presented by whom and from what perspective.”

“Crimes. It's just violence. It's pain. It's suffering. And it's real people whose lives were lost or affected. I have issues with the way they would glorify the perpetrators of crimes and forget about the victims, especially how some true crime use the wider word content has tried to traffic on the notion that they're there to honor the victims of terrible crimes but actually are just doing the same glorification and exercise and elevating this sort of dark mind above the actual people who encounter them. So I think they go in parallel, but I think in as much as fiction and horror fiction, both on screen and on the page is a space for Reflection, a space for taboo bursting, a space for voices and images to appear that really can make us tackle and understand our own humanity and our own relationship to the world in really profound ways.”

“The entertainment of it all, the true crime authors, the investigators, you know, people who are solving the crimes or creating books or series that sort of explain the crimes in some way, I think that psychology is really interesting. I think it's fallen from grace in a larger way than horror has. I think fiction obviously allows us opportunities to go wild truly The possibilities are endless even working within the horror genre you're creating you can create whatever rules you want you can create and manufacture whatever images you want if you're working on the page obviously there's other practical concerns when you are trying to put something on screen but it's a space of ideas right there's no ideas in real”

“That's really interesting because I think we have gone through a whole journey with true crime in the last decade in parallel to the one that we've come with horror. I'm still personally entangling my feelings about true crime as both a consumer of true crime and being fascinated by the people who cover it more so even than the people who do the crimes if that makes sense. I know what you mean.”

“Consumed by, you know, we only have room for one poltergeist movie, not two. And it is a very heavy film. It's truly borderline, unwatchable in a good way. It has an incredible central performance and is all about, you know, the structures of power and not believing a woman because she is a single mother and is poor. And that's not the kind of woman that institutions will believe. When she says she's been haunted by a poltergeist.”

“So the black coat's daughter and I am the pretty little thing that lives in the house with Ruth Wilson are I know Longlegs has had a huge release and I'm very happy for him but I think those two films are quite interesting and spooky and eerie in a very distinct way. And going back way back I would like to shout out the entity with Barbara Hershey from nineteen eighty two, which came out the same year poltergeist came out and obviously got, you know.”

“I know it's had sort of, you know, it's sort of been in the ether because it was on one streaming platform and then left and it has never had a physical release. I think it's sorted now. That obviously Mike Flanagan is a huge filmmaker and creator in the space of horror. But hush is a magnificent film. I would also say a TV series called Channel Zero, which ran for four seasons, I believe, and is sort of an adaptation. Each season is based on a different creepy pasta from the depths of the internet and it's extraordinary. It's genuinely creepy in a way that, you know, both a horror novelist who's the showrunner of channel zero and the internet combined can create truly a cursed TV series in the best possible way. I would also maybe say the earlier films of Oscar Perkins.”

“Ah, that's a great question how dare you? I would say first top of my mind, filmmakers that are working today that I will always, always buy a ticket for them, Jane Chumbrun, whose director I saw the TV Glow and World Going to the World's Fair, and they're publishing a novel as well. Sign me up for the Jane newsletter. I want to see everything they do. Jordan Peel obviously has proven himself to be a deeply original thinker, both across film, TV, and his, you know, move from comedy actor to visionary filmmaker. And that work gets overused, but not in his case, has been stellar. I think also Osgood Perkins is a genuinely strange mind that I would also subscribe to.

“ever hungry audience for horror films, for horror media as a whole that will seek it out, and personally I know that to be true of myself, I will watch Anything that you put in front of me if it's horror related because I'm interested to see what else is possible, what else someone is dreaming of, what are they going to do, you know, surprise me, engage me, I'm completely open-hearted and open-minded when I see with the genre because it is, like you were mentioning before, both a genre that has all of these different sets of expectations to it. Some people might have less open-hearted ones, but it is a genre of endless possibilities. It never gets tired.”

“I think you're absolutely right in that way because, and I think this has been always the case since the inception of cinema and the film industry, it's because of the unique selling point of horror, it will always have an audience. It will always have an audience that seeks it out and an audience that seeks out what it's selling even without knowing what the specific film is. So it has always had its own parallel kind of industry, its parallel pipelines where so many films are being produced. Perhaps they're not the ones that we talk about in print or in books, but they're constantly being made and they have value and they create their create jobs, they're making money. So I think there's always been this conviction that there's an”

“with the same brush. So if we just say, well, all horror films are just mindless and dumb and ultraviolet, that's not true. In the same way, if we say that all horror films have the intention of tackling very deep social and political issues, that's also not true. Sometimes Freddie just wants to kill some teenagers. And that's also okay.”

“But it does not mean it's the whole genre. In the same way, there's a lot of horror films as there are other films that aim very high with their themes but fail extremely with their execution. That's also okay. Not everyone can make a get out. Not everyone can make a censor. Not everyone can make the Stepford wives, which is a film and a book that very actively engaged with gender politics. In the seventies in a really smart way and is very much, you know, decades before the so called kind of feminist horror wave. So I think films can do all of that. They need to, they're their own metrics for success because every single film is a prototype. And one thing that I think kind of horror suffers from unfairly is being characterized.”

“I don't entirely agree actually, which is also fine. I think it is a creative choice. You know, you can have a horror film as you can't have any film. The just is there for a good time and not a deep conversation. You can't actually genuinely just be interested in the special effects or the kills or the gore. For gore's sake, that's also fine.”

“I choose to look at it as a horror film. And obviously, women in horror have really been a massive topic of conversation in the past decade as well because of the rise of so many different voices of female directors and writers and very heavily female fronted films made by women over the last decade. That has a lot of industrial reasons behind it as much as, you know, strictly political ones. But I think it's in the way that we're more perhaps willing to perceive the themes that those films are telling us and how we're willing to talk about them, especially a not strictly relegating, you know, if it's dealing with a particular woman's issue or a racial theme, we're not just relegating that to”

“I think they've always been inherently political. I'm not saying every single horror film has politics on its mind, but every single horror film, much like every single other artwork, is made by people that exist within a set of circumstances, within a set of structures. So they are reacting to the structures in which they exist in, and they have a point of view that is implicit in the way that they view the world and the way that they make art. I think what's definitely changed is the way that audiences and critics talk and perceive those issues in the text themselves. So, you know, you'll get, obviously, the core example from the last decade has been get out in the way that it has tackled race and the African-American experience through the lens of horror, although I know that Jordan Peel has referred to that film in particular as a social thriller, as opposed to horror film.”

“I think there's an implicit stiffness about it again not dissimilar to the sniffiness that exists around superhero movies, which obviously excel in so many craftin effects as well as performance ways as well as comedies. Comedies are also often ignored in big awards by big awards bodies because I think underlying all of that erasure, all of that just dismissal is this idea that it's not that serious. It's not that hard and it's not that serious and thereby it does not need a wording because awards are for serious movies. Therefore big dramas about big human emotions and experiences and it's a very it carries with it an implicit dismissiveness towards the horror space and the horror genre because it can”

“Yeah, absolutely. And I think there's an academic that I mentioned in my book that I've read a lot that talks about horror genre and a couple of others, like genres of the body, right? So they elicit that physical experience from you. You could say the same thing from comedies because they make you laugh, they make you react physically, or melodramas, which I know is sort of now and semi-old fashion term, but they want to make you cry. They want to elicit an emotional experience. They want to put you through that physical roller coaster journey. By the end of it, you're kind of spent, right? After you watch a huge bombastic superhero movie, you're like, I feel like I've just, you know, fought Thanos myself, even though I've just been here. Eating pop”

You know, you have your not to, maybe I would love to see this mashup, but your Iron Mans and your Babadukes, they're the ones that become our cultural figures that we can then reference. And even if you haven't seen the movie, you know who the Babadook is, and you know who Iron Man is.”

“and grieve of psychological experiences, of the scars and their after effects on people, of the monsters that can arise from that, and like I talk about in my book, kind of the lack of monsters and the fact that a lot of the horror of the past decade has been very concerned with characters breaking down and of becoming their own monsters in their own stories. So if we think about it in sort of cultural terms in terms of the genres that people have talked about the most, you know, the parallel critical communities and industries that have appeared around both the superhero genre and a horror space, they have always existed and they have ballooned up into huge industries. These are hundreds, thousands of jobs and voices talking about this specific area of culture on both sides. At the same time in box office terms they're also the biggest money makers”

“Oh, interesting because they're both sort of interested to one degree or another with spectacle, right? And this, you know, as you're more aware than anyone else kind of fluctuates with the decades and the superhero genre is very concerned with spectacle, you know, with these big, bombastic characters, these big, huge galactic stakes, right? It's not just a person who's at risk of dying, it's an entire planet or an entire universe or multiple universes, really, the stage where we're at. And this is not knocking the superhero genre because I love it as well. And I think it's fascinating the way that it's evolved over the last decade. And in parallel to that, I find that horror has become a lot more internal, a lot less concerned with spectacle, and a lot more concerned with the interior lives of their characters, with the buzzword of trauma.”

“To be cooler than we actually are, and sort of laughing off a jump scare, that we've possibly all been there if we've had those experiences. But when something really freaks you out, it's a deeply sincere experience, and I think the best horror, which is not saying one movie or one book or one TV show or another, the one that works for you on an individual basis is an entirely sincere experience.”

“Absolutely. I'll answer that with a question because could you fake being scared? Truly scared? I don't think anyone can fake being scared. I don't think anyone can fake feeling anxiety or being hungry. You know, I'm using my own chapter headings for this, but I think when Horror really accesses those deeply personal and hidden parts of you, either psychologically or emotionally, you can't pretend like it's not doing that. So I think our responses to horror, which again are very personal, are entirely sincere. There's no way of being ironic about being scared. You can't, you know, me away out of being truly terrified. Your body won't allow that. Your mind won't allow that. You can try, you know, like we're teenagers and pretend.”

And there's a whole, you know, legacy of incredible academia and writing and thinking and talking done about the genre. And a lot of it Once you engage with it kind of comes back to understanding why people enjoy this and why they enjoy it without having any other nefarious motive other than just enjoying the stories and how they make them feel, which is why we gravitate towards storytelling anyway.”

And the back back back of my mind when I was a teenager, I was very much trying to fit in, trying to be liked, trying to be good, you know, this big concept of being good, of being a good person, being a good daughter, being a good immigrant, in my case, being a good student, everything else. And those kind of roles will change as we grow up. But I distinctly remember very much hiding my affinity for horror. And I started off reading books as well as watching films, those two kind of became intertwined for me as a child, and then a teenager and a grow up.

“Set of structures that we also have a lot of intense feelings and thoughts about and that affects our daily lives. So I thought that structuring a book about horror films, about horror culture really through these very emotional chapters, really emotion anchor chapters was the skeleton that I needed to really make the point that horror is like we were just talking a deeply emotional, deeply bonding genre that has very often continuously so for decades and decades been dismissed as something low brow trashy or at its worst fundamentally evil”

It was the genre that I loved most intensely, it was the most personal to me. It's also the genre that I've worked the most in, so it kind of really specialized in programming and writing and in podcasting and broadcasting in horror. So I felt like I had accumulated a lot of the things that I wanted to say about it over the last decade of talking and writing about horror films.

Thank you so much for saying that because I hope it does remind people of those moments, remind them that this entire genre is a bonding experience for so many people. Completely. And your book is, interestingly, it has five sections, fear, hunger, anxiety, pain, and power, which sounds like I'm beginning an incantation and I'm here for it. What motivated this structure?

I think everyone has one of those and one of the things I really wanted to get across in that introduction in the book was to make people remember their own. And I think sometimes because we forget those, we forget how they not scar us for life, but they do influence the way that we do then think about an entire genre, an entire creative genre since then. Because who wants to be scared in that really intense, really primal childlike way where you think not only is it going to happen to you, but it's going to happen to you right this moment and then forever over and over and over again.”

I think the fact that everybody can instantly, even if just slightly prodded about, you know, tell me about a horror movie or a horror book or something that you read or watch that really scared you, everyone will almost instantaneously have a memory like your memory of the catcher, right? And it will be something completely unique, completely terrifying in a personal way. I don't know if you're breaking out in sweats and hives right now, but you might be.

So the film that terrified you that made you conceive of what horror is either on the screen or on the page as a book, and my own and someone from the streets will be radically different. So if horror film is a film that scares you specifically and it doesn't mean that it's going to scare your neighbor or the person next to you in the cinema. Yeah, that's a really interesting piece in your introduction to the book where I suddenly had this avalanche of memories of a 1998 baseball horror film. That's right called The Catcher.
