January Horror

We have survived the longest month of the year – January and a little bit of horror has helped.


Film: The Stepfather (1987). What a great film. Terry O’Quinn is excellent as the titular stepfather. He is perfect as a severe man who is nearly immaculate in everything he does, systematic and organised but psychotic.


Book: The Teenage Slasher Movie Book by J. A. Kerswell. It was a perfect gift I had for Christmas or my Birthday (having the two so close I can’t remember which) from my partner. As the book states, it cannot possibly cover all slasher films, but it still has good coverage of well-known and obscure films worldwide. It is a superb read, full of remarkable facts. My only complaint is that the book is filled with different coloured pages, and with my dyslexia, some were hard to read.


Writing: I am slowly working through my A-to-Z horror book. However, I had not been allocated a topic for two of the letters of the alphabet yet. U and Q. However, after a discussion with a friend over a few drinks, I have changed W is for WTF to Q is for Quirky. Some suggestions were also given for U, but I need to find films that will fall into that topic before I decide what it will be.
