Author ADAM CESARE Checks Out "BASKET CASE" With The Brooklyn Horror Society!

The Brooklyn Horror Society holds weekly film screenings and monthly trivia nights at the Lucky 13 Saloon in the Gowanus section of Brooklyn.  They’ve recently partnered with The Twisted Spine, New York City’s first bookstore devoted to horror, to launch “Dark Sparks,” a speaker series where a horror author does a reading from their latest book, before introducing a movie of their choice. 

Last night, bestselling author Adam Cesare stopped by for the inaugural event to read excerpts from his new book “Influencer” and speak for a few minutes with BHS Co-Founder Julia Specht about his writing background and love of horror. He then introduced his pick for the night, the beloved cult classic “Basket Case.”  The film is one of his gateway horror staples, and perfect for a New York City-based audience.  Plus, anyone who’s seen it knows what a joy it is to re-watch with audience members who’ve never seen it before.

Adam Cesare’s new book “Influencer” is out now at The Twisted Spine, and where books are sold. An adaptation of his beloved slasher novel “Clown in a Cornfield” hits theaters May 9, 2025 from director Eli Craig (“Tucker and Dale vs. Evil”) and RLJE Films.
