      Catch Us If You Can: We like impostor stories because we’re afraid we’re impostors ourselves.

      Garth Marenghi: ‘Many Writers Cite Me As An Influence ... And I Will Be Suing Them All’

      Oct 29, 2022

      Horror writers don’t come much more elusive than Garth Marenghi, AKA “the dream weaver”, AKA the “titan of terror”. The author (who bears an uncanny resemblance to comedian Matthew Holness) is best known for his 1980s hospital horror “dramamentary” G

      When I read David Hambling’s article ‘Listening to the voice within’ [FT423:16], I became conscious that my ‘inner voice’ was reading the piece aloud in my mind. Obviously I’ve had this realisation before; I decided to ask my wife if she also had an

      I Called It ‘Post-horror’ – And Now I’ve Created A Monster

      Aug 2, 2022

      Five years ago, in this paper, I coined a term to describe what I saw as a new trend in horror movies: “post-horror”. Bad idea. To me, the term had a nice ring to it – a bit like “postmodern”. And in the same way postmodern architecture played with e

      Produced by Greg Weeks, Katherine Ward and the Online

      Science fiction, in collaboration with the idea-men and technicians of Hollywood, has been responsible for many horrors, dating back to The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and The Lost World. But Hollywood has created one real-life horror that tops all creations of fantasy—the child star. In this story we at last see such a brat meet Things from Alien Space.

      and

      the

      monsters

      by ... Walt Sheldon

      Mr. Maximilian Untz regarded the monsters with a critical eye. Script girls, cameramen, sometimes even stars quailed under Mr. Untz’s critical eye—but not these monsters. The first had a globelike head and several spidery legs. The second was willowy and long-clawed. The third was covered with hair. The prop department had outdone itself.

      Hollywood could handle just about

      anything—until Mildume’s machine

      brought in two real aliens.

      Get Jimsy, said Mr. Untz, snapping his fingers.

      A young earnest assistant producer with a crew cut turned and relayed the summons. Jimsy—Jimsy LaRoche! Down the line of cables and cameras it went. Jimsy ... Jimsy....

      A few moments later, from behind the wall flat where he had been playing canasta with the electricians, emerged Jimsy LaRoche, the eleven-year-old sensation. He took his time. He wore powder-blue slacks and a sports shirt and his golden hair was carefully ringleted. He was frowning. He had been interrupted with a meld of a hundred and twenty.

      Okay, so what is it now? he said, coming up to Mr. Untz.

      Mr. Untz turned and glared down at the youth. Jimsy returned the glare. There was a sort of cold war between Mr. Untz and Master Jimsy LaRoche, the sort you could almost hear hotting up. Mr. Untz pointed to the monsters. Look, Jimsy. Look at them. What do you think? He watched the boy’s expression carefully.

      Jimsy said, "To use one of your own expressions, Max—pfui. They wouldn’t
