New Horror 2023 – Day 6

“You can’t deny what’s nailed down there in black and white.”

“Last Call for the Sons of Shock” by David J. Schow (1994)

I’m sure “pleasant” is not something that horror authors want to read about their work, but it was! I wanna know if they get up to any adventures. This could be a whole series.

“No one can put anything over on Biff Demmon!”

“Werewolf!” by Frank Frazetta (1964)

Phew, okay. I needed that comeuppance because this is otherwise just a man’s man comic tale of the kind they were pitching to boys in the fifties to psych them up.

“I have prayed many times for God to send me a friend.”

The Bride of Frankenstein dir. James Whale (1935)

The first half or so left me grasping to understand what the hell I was watching, but it comes around to the point. It’s neat to see how they took more from the book to set up this sequel. Also a great companion piece to today’s short story.
