Been waiting for this one for awhile - @Maeltopia is twistedly fun, and I fully expect this episode to be as well. If anyone could, I imagine they fully activated @AlexanderNewall inner most goblin!
Can’t wait to listen.
#TheMagnusProtocol episode 56. Written by @Maeltopia and Alexander J Newall. #MagnusPod

Put on The Left Right Game for the first hour and a half of my road trip. Spooked the finance out so bad we had to make a pit stop for ice cream

It will be 6 years since I released the first episode of The Town Whispers on October 19th.
It will be 4 years on September 19th since I released the first episode of Tiny Terrors.
Historically speaking, I have a good history of releasing fun stuff in the autumn. Just sayin

We need more arctic horror. We need it more in books, in movies. We need more. Long nights, frigid hostile land, and biblical weather. As a setting it allows for so much.

The year 1987. The date September 10th. Hellraiser is in theatres. You're not allowed to go see it. So it's just you and a pal sneaking in through the fire escape at the theatre. Life is good
I wasn't born till 91 but I imagine it was pretty sweet.(I don't even like Hellraiser)

There's a point whenever you're writing anything where you experience an ego crash and everything feels wrong and every word is misplaced - Keep going.

Just finished Stolen Tongues by Felix Blackwell. @FelixAuthor you managed to give me goosebumps not once but 3 times.
Highly recommend picking it up and giving it a read if you’re looking for a quality independent horror author to get acquainted with!

Classic horror novels cast enormous shadows. I always wonder how many great books published alongside them weren’t carried forward by history.
Dracula was published in 1897 but it wasn't the bestselling gothic horror novel of that year.
That would be The Beetle by Richard Marsh. And not by a little. The Beetle initially sold six times as many copies as Dracula.
The Beetle is the story of a shape-shifting Egyptian entity seeking revenge against a British member of Parliament for murdering a priestess if Isis.
Why Dracula has gone on to become such an enduring phenomenon and The Beetle is largely forgotten, is a bit of a mystery. Perhaps it's because Dracula was easier to adapt for the screen (although there was a silent adaptation of The Beetle in 1919) and has gone on not only to generate a huge number of movies but has become the centrepiece of the vampire subgenre itself.
I think The Beetle is due a revival, particularly as the gender-fluidity of the entity makes it very 'now'.

We have a Shyamalan x Sparks crossover collaboration happening. I think it’s time we revisit the PROBLEM CHILD VS CHUCKY idea and give it another kick at the can.
Universal once turned down a 'PROBLEM CHILD VS. CHUCKY' movie.
Yes, this was actually pitched.

6 months unemployed, Oliver invents a job no one can prove he’s unqualified for: paranormal home inspector.
Then a woman pays him to spend the night in Lot 17. The problem with pretending to hunt ghosts is that sometimes you find one.

No one talks enough about how much writing is just problem-solving.
How do I get this character from here to there? How do I make the reveal surprising but inevitable?
From beginning to end, you’re solving a puzzle that changes shape every time you place a piece.

Horror Hot Take:
The scariest thing isn’t the monster.
It’s the moment the protagonist realizes the town has always known about it and they’ve done nothing.
The protagonist is just been the last one to figure it out.

Everyone enjoy the long weekend but don’t forget the rules:
- Do not drive behind logging trucks
- Do not mock the gas station attendant
- Do not whistle at night
- Just because it stands on two legs doesn’t mean it’s human
