Cooney & Carlos Hernandez (hosts), Christa Carman, Sarah Hans, Nicholas Kaufmann, Cassandra Khaw, Haralambi Markov, S.P. Miskowski, Jeffrey Thomas &, um, me!

Thanks so so much for showcasing How to Fake a Haunting!!!
Cover for Christa Carmen's HOW TO FAKE A HAUNTING. It features a hand holding a white candle, its wax melting all over that hand.
Cover for Ronald Malfi's SMALL TOWN HORROR. It features a lighthouse in the background shining its light on the water in the foreground. There's a creepy fog rolling in. (Or out, I'm not the weatherman.)
Cover for Marcus Kliewer's WE USED TO LIVE HERE. If someone were to take a picture of a house, print it out, shred it vertically, then put it back together, that's exactly what this house looks like. It's turquoiseish, btw.
Cover for Jeremy Shipp's BEDFELLOW. There's a creepy ass kid with no face (but shining eyes) playing with some dolls and a doll house. I want nothing to do with this creepy ass kid.
#Kindle deals are here! Nothing over $2.99 w/ works by @christaqua.bsky.social, @ronaldmalfi.bsky.social, @jeremycshipp.bsky.social, @tcparker.bsky.social, @johndurginauthor.bsky.social, @katsilvaauthor.bsky.social, @tcparker.bsky.social, @timlebbon.bsky.social & more! #booksky #ad

Less than three weeks until the denizens claw their way out of the woods. Just because theyโre dead doesnโt mean theyโre allowed to rest.

Ohhh, yes! Iโve seen this one actually and itโs great! Thank you!
Horror fans, what are your best recs for films in the same vein as Dark Skies and The Fourth Kind, i.e., alien encounter/abduction films more horror than sci-fi with a creepy atmosphere, lots of uncanniness, and a heavy dose of conspiracy theories?
