December Short Story Writing Prompts

Challenging myself to write a horror story every day in December. May continue this in 2024 but with a different genre. Will post my progress here and my stories on my blog to keep myself accountable.

Queer Horror! The Fear Street Trilogy

The Fear Street trilogy was released on Netflix in the summer of 2023 and was directed by Leigh Janiak. The series followed the history of the city of Shadyside and all of the misfortune caused by the curse of Sarah Fier.

 Part One - 1994 followed a group of teens who are living with the effects of the curse, one of whom happens upon the buried body of the old witch Sarah Fier, one of whom becomes a target for the curse. They have to join together to defeat the killers coming to find them.

Part Two - 1978 sees the surviving characters track down a previous survivor of the curse, who recounts her time at Camp Nightwing where a possessed counselor goes on a murderous rampage.

Part Three - 1666 sees the main character get a glimpse of the past when she sees Sarah Fier's story with her own eyes, and what really happened to cause the Shadyside curse.

I may get into spoilers here so I am going to mark it as such! I will try to spoil as little as possible as this series is wonderful and should be experienced.

The cool thing about this series, is that the main character in the 1994 story, Deena Johnson (played by Kiana Madeira) is gay. It's revealed in a cool way that made me very excited to follow her and her ex/girlfriend, Sam (played by Olivia Scott Welch,) through the movie.

And it was really cool to see Deena fight so hard to make sure that Sam stayed safe, even when it came to some really rough parts.

Now the second movie followed a story where Deena was still trying to both protect and save Sam, which was very difficult in more ways than one. But since this post is talking about the queer aspects of this franchise, the most notable part for me is that the character Alice is played by non-binary actor Ryan Simpkins (pronouns they/she according to their Instagram.) Ryan Simpkins is one of my favorite parts of the series. I just love the way they play Alice.

The third movie is so creative in the way it tells Sarah Fier's story, because it reuses some of the cast members from the first two movies (no Ryan Simpkins though, which made me so sad,) having them portray characters from the past. Kiana and Olivia portray Sarah Fier and her lover Hannah Miller as Deena sees the story of Sarah Fier, through her eyes. The story gives Sarah Fier her own tragic love story, where Hannah and Sarah's love is accused of being the cause of the town's misfortune, and both girls are accused of being witches. The sacrifice Sarah makes in the end after learning the truth of who the real evil is, is heartbreaking and sweet at the same time, as she is able to save Hannah from the town's wrath.

Like I said, I am sharing as little as possible incase the people reading this haven't seen the film yet. (GO WATCH THE MOVIES!)

They/Them - A Drunk Review.

I really needed a break from found footage movies this week, but after a couple of wines I really do enjoy shitting on Blumhouse. So here we are. I’ll say who dies, but I won’t spoil who the killer is. Kevin Bacon is the charismatic and overly relatable leader of a gay conversion camp. We get introduced to all the staff including the creepy red herring grounds keeper called Balthazar. During the…

An Excerpt from "Ache For Atticus"

They asked him so many questions afterwards. Head clouded, body heavy, wrapped up in things he couldn’t identify, he didn’t feel any relief. He didn’t remember saying yes to any of their questions or responding at all but he must have at some point. When Trystan came to pick him up and get him checked out the next day, he was carrying a discreet white medical bag.

It was heavier than he thought it would be.

Trystan didn’t ask what it was right away, but Atticus saw how his boyfriend glanced suspiciously at the bag. After helping him out the hospital, to the parking lot, and into Trystan’s truck, Trystan asked from the driver’s seat, “Please don’t tell me that is what I think it is.”

Queer Horror! Death Drop Gorgeous!

Death Drop Gorgeous is a slasher movie from the folks over at Monster Makeup, LLC.

The film follows a bartender and a seasoned drag queen as they both struggle to navigate the nightlife scene in a corrupt city. Oh, and there's also a serial killer killing young gay men and draining them of their blood.

This movie is a wonderful campy slasher that is more enjoyable every time I watch it. It's got laughs, lots of blood, some very gruesome deaths, and two strong leads in Gloria Hole and Dwayne (Wayne Gonsalves) and Gloria Hole (Michael McAdam/Johnny Sederquist.)

(Also, Monster Makeup, LLC is working on getting another film out called Saint Drogo. It's another queer film focusing more on supernatural horror! I am excited to check it out when I get the chance.)
