Hello, fellow Night Vale citizens. I don't do it as well as Cecil does, but anyway. What The Ghost is changing formats. Rather than focusing on what spooky thing is real (turns out; lots), we're going to focus on what makes horror, well, horror. Why do some horror films just get to us, and what makes us so fascinated with them?
We'll also go into themes, tropes, common lore and the myths backing them up. Everything has a story attached to it, so we'll go into those.
We'll start with the Mother of Science Fiction, the great Mary Shelley herself, who honestly no one can compare to. Her life reads like a really odd piece of fiction itself, so we'll go into her epic tale, it's structure and why so much of horror has been built on its bones.
Pun intended.
Do you have a favorite horror writer of your own? Would you like to discuss your favorite piece of horror (whether that be book, movie, or other), then I'd like to have you on my show.
