It’s always nice when an interview turns into a 2-hour lunch, and it’s even better when it veers off course to nerd out about shared interests. This is where I found myself when sitting down with Bram Stoker-award winning author Robert P. Ottone. Based on Long Island, New York, Ottone has published several horror anthologies and novels, while balancing his day job as a teacher.

Read MoreMy colleague at Macabre Daily, Matt Orozco, coined the term “nutmegger horror” to describe Connecticut-based horror films. While this sounds like a subset of Christmas horror, I’ll take his word for it, since he is a native of Connecticut, as are Erik and Carson Bloomquist, the minds behind the new slasher “Founders Day.” Written by the brothers and directed by Erik, the film takes place in a quaint New England town, where a killer in an ornate judge mask (“The Founder”) is picking people off days before a heated local election.

Read MoreLong Island, New York is recognized for many things. We’re the home of Billy Joel, third-wave emo, and the people who actually claimed to believe George Santos. One of our numerous exports is the infamous slasher film “Sleepaway Camp.” While the film shot in upstate New York, the cast and crew primarily hailed from Long Island, as did their accents, including the star of the film, Felissa Rose. Interviewing Rose on Long Island is almost like interviewing Elvis in Graceland. If there was ever a place to talk to the scream queen, it would be at Farmingdale, New York’s Necromantic Brew Co. Earlier this month, the brewery hosted an event featuring Rose and the hilarious Dave Sheridan as they hung out, signed autographs, played drinking games, and provided commentary for “Victor Crowley,” “Scary Movie,” and for its 40th anniversary, “Sleepaway Camp.” I highly recommend “Sleepaway Camp” with live commentary from Felissa Rose, just for the record.
Read MoreEveryone remembers the first time they saw “Sleepaway Camp.” Robert Hiltzik’s deranged debut slasher is so indelible, it’s nearly impossible to imagine it as part of a horror marathon. If you’ve never seen it before, what other films would you remember? To commemorate the film’s 40th anniversary, author and filmmaker Jeff Hayes has written a book, “Sleepaway Camp: Making the Movie and Reigniting the Campfire, from 1984 Publishing. Hayes talked to us about writing the book and his journey to talk to the people behind the scenes. He also debunked some rumors about the genesis of the film, and gave us some details on the script on the in-development reboot!
Read MoreThis year marks the 40th anniversary of “Psycho 2,” one of the most underrated sequels of all time. Written by Tom Holland and directed by Richard Franklin, the very idea of a sequel to Hitchcock’s classic was a major gamble, but it paid off in a major way. Due to the film’s success, Holland went on to write and direct seminal horror classics like “Child’s Play” and “Fright Night,” as well as continue collaborating with Franklin on “Cloak & Dagger.” His latest venture is “Oh Mother, What Have You Done?: The Making of Psycho 2,” which chronicles Holland, Franklin, and editor Andrew London as they set out to make a film Hitch would be proud of.
