The Video Dead is a famous video horror release and the zombies look all right but it’s not a very good picture overall. The Greasy Strangler is in this.

June 12, 2024:

Finished this thinking "OP, what does this mean?" The story was totally grounded until almost the end, and by then I didn't know what to think. I'm actually not sure what I think happened. One of the cool things about this author's books is that they are perfectly balanced between real and supernatural. You could make a 100% convincing argument either way, with tons of support from the text for both positions. This one, I think, favors the ordinary a bit too much throughout, which makes the last several chapters all the more confusing to me.

There's three ongoing storylines all featuring the same people (in some cases, people playing fictionalized versions of themselves with the same names) which can be a challenge to keep straight.

The script portions were my favorite, and it was frustrating in a good way to only get them piecemeal, like the character does. It was like inverse dramatic irony; I didn't know more than the character in the moment, but I felt like I should. Even worse (aka better), I was also following that same character in a future storyline, so technically he did know more about the script than me!

I will say this is probably the least sad Paul Tremblay book I've come across. Not that it's not sad, but it's pity sad instead of heartwrenching. I didn't have to read through tears (looking at you, Cabin At The End Of The World) but there were some empathetic sighs.

BEGIN ID:

A grayscale sketchy comic.

Caption at the top: "A video game wherein you're driving alone and have to listen to the radio's clues to survive"

POV from the driver, hands on wheel with the radio to the right. It's night in a forest on a dirt road. The driver is approaching a fork in the road, indicated by a sign that points right and left. The radio plays the lyrics: "you better run, better leave this place- get lost and go a different way! go left! go left! go left! go, go!

The next panel we see the driver, who has long hair tied messily up in a bun, wearing a hoodie, a collared shirt, glasses, and has black nails. Two realistic hands reach from the darkness of the car behind them- one grabbing their arm. The radio plays: "Don't turn around 'cause you're gonna see my heart breaking-- don't turn around i don't want you seeing me cry--"

Underneath the panels are song credit. the first song is Radiant Children's "Go Left" and the second is Ace of Base's "Don't turn around"

I get so frustrated by "yeah make vampires scary again" stuff every time a vampire movie has a "monster" vampire (Nosferatu, Voyage of the Demeter, etc). It reeks of an attitude that thinks all horror is about something being ugly and horrifying on the outside. If you can't see the horror in Interview With the Vampire, or a Jean Rollin film, or The Hunger, or Carmilla, or the vampire sections of Baldur's Gate because they are attractive that is absolutely an issue on your end. There is such a rich well of themes to dig into with horror and vampires, especially where sex and romance are concerned, but people are so desperate to separate romance and horror. The despair of being frozen as a child even while your mind matures, the loneliness of an eternity alone, the terror of eternal hunger that can't be sated, the awful seduction by something beautiful but monstrous. Trying to turn vampires into just any other monster doesn't make them more horrifying, its just a more kind of overt horror that can only be done so many times and is often covered better by other monsters.
