It's Halloween! Or at least, it was when we recorded this. To celebrate, Searnold and Zach are going to tell each other some spooky stories. Searnold will retell a classic Marvel horror story by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Can you guess who the mystery monster is? Then, Searnold will tell the story of Marvel's new Werewolf by Night, Jake Gomez, and what happens when he gets trapped in an abandoned amusement park during Blood Hunt. Next, Zach reads some of his favorite of Alvin Schwartz's "Spooky Stories to Tell in the Dark" and discusses his BIG PLANS for Halloween. Along the way, we'll examine the horror genre, the medium of comics, and a bunch of nonsense!

I loved Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark as a kid. Alvin Schwartz' retellings and Stephen Gammell's bonechilling drawings kept me hypnotized. The excitement and fun of a good scary story has kept these books popular for generations. What's YOUR favorite Scary Story?

A Nostalgic Nightmare: Exploring the Comfort of HorrorThis week on Horror Joy, we're taking a trip down memory lane. For many of us, our love affair with horror began at a young age, fueled by Goosebumps books, Are You Afraid of the Dark, and the iconic horror paperbacks found on the revolving racks at local grocery stores.Nostalgia and Horror: A Twisted EmbraceNostalgia, with its roots in homesickness, offers a sense of comfort and belonging. But horror, while evoking strong emotions, can also be deeply comforting. It disrupts our sense of security, only to draw us back in, promising a strange warmth.Our Nostalgic Journey:Tom Deady's The Rack: We chat with Tom about his love for Salem's Lot and the process of curating his anthology of horror stories.Alvin Schwartz's Scary Stories: A discussion on the power of simple illustrations, the performative nature of storytelling, and how horror prepares us for adulthood.Join us as we spin the rack of horror and revisit the nostalgic thrills that first captivated us.

Marshall and Stan discuss the importance of cinematic perspective in storytelling, emphasizing how camera placement, movement, lighting, and color can influence the audience's emotions and perceptions. By manipulating these elements, artists can create dynamic and engaging narratives. They also touched on the contrast between continuity and dialectic approaches in film editing, using examples from classic and modern films to illustrate how these techniques enhance storytelling.

The Buddies take a stroll down the non-fiction aisle this week, reading Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann. The new Leonardo DiCaprio/Martin Scorsese film of the same title got them jazzed up to read this popular book. The Buddies tried to keep things light despite the shockingly true story of the Osage Murders of the 1920s. They got to chatting about Wizzbang, Oklahoma, moonshine, prison sentencing/capital punishment, and showing up to negotiations naked. So before you go to the movie, let the Buddies fill you up with knowledge (read: useless ramblings)!Intro: (0:00-2:44)Stock Up/Down (2:45-26:42)Favorite Character (26:43-27:33)Love Hate (27:34-33:05)Movie Notes & Casting (33:06-34:35)Conclusion (34:36-37:08)Next Book: SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK by ALVIN SCHWARTZ

Spooky Season continues as Brenna and Joe tackle Alvin Schwartz's collection of folklore urban legends, as well as André Øvredal's 2019 adaptation.We heap praise on the illustrations by Stephen Gammell and acknowledge Schwartz's campfire tales as gateway horror.The film doesn't work as well: the Vietnam backstory is undercooked, villain Tommy is dispatched too early and the monsters aren't persuasive to Brenna. Plus: Joe's fave sequence, the ableism/abuse in the Bellows storyline, and that bizarre sequel tease.Wanna connect with the show?

Vox's Constance Grady talks with writer Carmen Maria Machado, whose 2017 short story collection Her Body and Other Parties was a National Book Award finalist. In this episode, which is a recording of a live Vox Book Club event, they discuss how this haunting genre-straddling collection conveys the underlying horrors of being an embodied woman, how the nation's shifting cultural mores around sexual violence are reflected in Law & Order: SVU, and how Machado's writing expresses what she just might start calling the "femme uncanny."
