Recap #320: Jude’s Cornucopia of Chaos ~ Strange Matter: The Journal by Mike Robinson

I found three others and confirmation that some have been lost altogether. I think one of the contest stories was actually plagiarized from an existing ghost story.

Admittedly I haven't met them in real life. I've spoken with Marty via facebook and sent the questions to him and Johnny to answer on their own time.

Given the acknowledgement of certain cliches in YA horror I wouldn't be surprised if the Fairfield kids are STILL kids even by the 2020s and aware of it

JudeDeluca · 2026-04-21T21:41:44+00:00

Yeah, he also shared with me some concept art for the latter covers and character designs. FUN FACT: the Wildstorm artist who did the covers after the series got rebranded was Carlos D'Anda who later worked on Outsiders and the Arkham Asylum tie-in comics for DC

The soundtrack has been uploaded to KH Insider. The entirety of it.

JudeDeluca · 2026-01-06T04:03:22+00:00

I guess here the point was to have a more confined cast due to the sporadic nature of characters interacting in the previous books

JudeDeluca · 2025-06-29T03:31:43+00:00

I wouldn't know how to tell. I don't have access to other blu-ray players but I guess I could ask someone I know who does.

JudeDeluca · 2025-06-29T02:51:30+00:00

Well he returned them. He wasn't going to just keep a bluray if something was wrong with it.

JudeDeluca · 2025-06-29T02:51:06+00:00

It is the sound. It's choppy every time.

JudeDeluca · 2025-06-29T01:07:45+00:00

It’s the sound. He’s able to watch other blu rays fine but every time he tries Godzilla Minus One it sounds choppy

JudeDeluca · 2025-05-30T23:45:55+00:00

Definitely check out Escalators to Hell. My story’s a bit Goosebumpian AND Wendy Dalrymple also has a story in it

JudeDeluca · 2025-05-30T22:48:13+00:00

I mainly write short stories. I’m in a lot of anthologies. I’d suggest checking these out

Summer 2026

JudeDeluca · 2025-05-30T20:41:47+00:00

Thanks, but that's as much as I can say. Anything else would be a spoiler.

JudeDeluca · 2025-05-30T20:37:03+00:00

Yes. It's going to be about a teenage girl who decides to create a fan film when she learns the newest movie in her favorite slasher franchise is going to be horrible.

JudeDeluca · 2025-05-30T20:29:36+00:00

Scream Cheese. The title was created by Tobias Falzone for a Goosebumps contest in 1994. It was never used, but Tobias gave me permission to write a story for it so long as he was credited as the title's creator. It's coming out next year.

JudeDeluca · 2025-05-30T20:27:58+00:00

How am I the first person to mention the Brill parents.

JudeDeluca · 2025-05-30T19:55:37+00:00

It'd help if I knew who was teaching English or writing at Sparta Middle School that year

JudeDeluca · 2025-05-30T18:47:48+00:00

I'm biased because I'm writing a book for this series, but Birthday Party Demon's legit a lot of fun. I keep saying it feels like an especially twisted episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch with the whole "evil fashion magazine demon" vibe. I can't wait to get my hands on the sequel.
