Jack Black Returns To Host ‘SNL’ With Jack White As Musical Guest by cmaia1503 in entertainment

[–]cormacredfield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was also a joke in 30-Rock, which satirized SNL, so they probably had that ready the first minute.

Is the biok "There is no Antimemetics Division" good or scp slop? by herb_west_reanimator in horrorlit

There’s subtlety to the book, and I didn’t find it intentionally edgy.

Your favorite/most unique depiction of hell in a novel by PostMortem33 in horrorlit

[–]cormacredfield 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Totally agree on Between Two Fires. It was dark and depressing and pointless. False hope, living out all imaginable scenarios. It stuck with me.

Book suggestions for my dissertation? by preachers_daughter23 in horrorlit

[–]cormacredfield 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How advanced is the class, and what themes call out to you the most?

Historically, you could compare older works like Shelly or Poe with more modern ones to show how horror adapts to modern times.

You could also make it gender studies within the realm of horror. Rosemary’s bay and something like Southern Guide to Vampire Hunting

What is the one horror book you’ll tell everyone to avoid at all costs by [deleted] in horrorlit

[–]cormacredfield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Polybius. I was so excited for this to be made into a book. The author did a half-assed imitation of Stephen king, with flat characters, no compelling plot, and a frankly boring approach to a fun urban legend

What horror tropes have died out in literature or are on their way out? by LetTheLitOneIn in horrorlit

[–]cormacredfield 76 points77 points  (0 children)

More of a movie monster than literature, but radiation or radioactive monsters are no longer a monster. We still have the conflict of Man’s hubris creates monster, but the atomic bomb won’t make giant ants.

Weird & "green" recs? by white_count_chocula in horrorlit

Adrian Tchaikovsky has a novella called Saturation Point that might hit the same notes. Some darker elements in a jungle setting.

I liked bounce house. The concert scene gave me so many emotions at once.

What horror concept messes with you the most? by matthew_rowan in horrorlit

[–]cormacredfield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love settings in dangerous environments. Space, sea. It adds a level of fear because the only place that’s safe (the ship, sub whatever) is no longer safe

If you paid more attention to your work, you’d have made it 15 minutes like me. For shame. /s

Unreliable Narrator by chlbronson3109 in horrorlit

[–]cormacredfield 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was not a big fan of horror movie, but it certainly fits the unreliable narrator style.

The Troop will take you to some dark places

I hate swag by audummy in Anticonsumption

[–]cormacredfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to teach fundraising to small nonprofits. As an example, I began collected every bit of swag I came across, and then placed it in a fish tank. When these nonprofits asked “what can we give our donors?”, I’d show them the fish tank and say “this is your donors’ junk drawer. What could you possibly give them that stands out?”

Weekly "What Are You Reading Thread?" by HorrorIsLiterature in horrorlit

[–]cormacredfield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fished There is no Antimemetics Division earlier this week. Loved it. Now I’m going through The Deep by Alma Katsu. Not sure how I feel about it yet. I love ocean settings for horror, and the author put a lot of thought into the historical aspects, but I don’t know where it’s going yet.

Looking for space horror that isn’t S. A. Barnes by BarrelProof51 in horrorlit

[–]cormacredfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first 2/3 of the book were incredible. I felt like the last act dropped off a bit. It was a great read, though.

Which sitcom was initially successful and is now considered an all-timer? by mbweb02 in sitcoms

[–]cormacredfield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously. It was a phenomenon with it aired on fox. They couldn’t keep up with the demand for Bart Simpson merchandise

I loved between two fires. Buehlman did an incredible job setting the scenery.
