Question: What do you think of Facebook, its current role, and its future? Facebook seems to be winning the SNS battle for the hearts and time-sucks of horror professionals. We worry about privacy issues on Facebook and we worry about how much creativity energy it can use up. But we love the elegant user-friendly interface. It is just so easy to use Facebook. Plus, although a few of us boycott the site or visit it very rarely, most horror writers and editors and artists seem […]

Question: Do you enjoy novels or anthologies more? Why? A little more than half of us prefer novels to anthologies. We like to be truly transported for hours. We like to get to know memorable characters deeply. We love to immerse ourselves in a good author’s fully-realized vision. This does not mean that we are evenly split between preferring anthologies and preferring novels. Only around a sixth of us prefer anthologies. Some of us love the intense sharp shock of a good short horror story. […]

Question: What are your favorite monsters and what specifically appeals to you about them? A lot of us love the classic Universal monsters and could not choose just one. Some of us most fear the monsters we recognize the best for our worst impulses — murderers, serial killers, angry and sad people. Some of us most enjoy the monsters we see some positive qualities of ourselves in — vampires and werewolves and dragons we might love or tame. This perhaps means that some of us […]

Question: Does a storyline seem more or less frightening to you, when BDSM themes are included, such as those in Hellraiser or Ichi the Killer? Some of us find BDSM imagery aesthetically pleasing or erotic and some of us find it unappealing or dull. However, we nearly universally feel that, no matter what the elements of a story are, the most important feature is the skill of the story creator. A story is not necessarily scarier for utilizing BDSM themes. Some of us might find […]

Question: What was the first movie or book or television show that scared you? We are a motley bunch with both some pretty disparate and even shocking influences and some very real commonalities. Some of the answers here are eye-openingly unique and some are horror classics. Given that the question is about the first media which scared us, it is no surprise that some children’s fare made the list of our Gothic.net Panel of Experts. Probably to be expected that the Wizard of Oz was […]

Amelia G is reading for the sequel to her critically-acclaimed Backstage Passes anthology. Here is the info from her blog and the writers guidelines. I’m still reading for the sequel to Backstage Passes. Backstage Passes is a bit of a who’s who of cool fiction, with work from Poppy Z. Brite, Nancy A. Collins, John Shirley, Will Judy, Shariann Lewitt, Cecilia Tan, Andrew Greenberg, William Spencer-Hale, Althea Morin, Sèphera Girón, Thomas S. Roche, and more. I’d like to have a similarly talented rogue’s gallery of […]

Question: What do the reviewers think of Sucker Punch? The movie reviews are in and Sucker Punch has to be one of the most reviled movies of all time. The consensus is that occasional interesting visuals do not make up for a boring and despicable story line and hypocritically sanctimonious attitude. The action and the music are like the fresh tasty hot dog inside a rotten moldy bun … Maybe it’s because all the women are victims and all the men are as disgusting as […]

Nineteen hour countdown to the Gothic.net party tonight! A few more kickass things: The event is 18+ (not 21+), which means you only have to be eighteen-years-old to attend. One of the reasons for holding the party at this venue is that they are extra-cool about this. Blue Blood’s Forrest Black and Amelia G will be doing a digital gallery show. The artwork projected on the walls will be portraiture of many denizens of the dark and fabulous, some of whom will be in attendance. […]

Question: What 2010 horror releases (film or book) did you find most notable? The results are in from our Gothic.net Panel of Experts. Literary horror culture is aware of history and how literature, in whatever medium, builds upon what came before. So a lot of us spent 2010 catching up on releases from prior years or re-watching and re-reading classics. It makes sense then that many of the major motion picture releases of 2010 were remakes, riffs, and sequels. We liked The Crazies, starring Timothy […]
