Scare Up the Vote Unites the Horror Community

Posted on by

“These are scary times,” says Tananarive Due, the American Book Award-winning author of The Reformatory and the driving force behind ScareUpTheVote, an effort to bring the all-stars of horror fiction and film together in support of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Scare Up the Vote brings together voices across generations, diverse backgrounds and beliefs to unite the horror community for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. 

In scary times, people need to pull together in strength and hope, to fight the darkness. Horror writers and filmmakers spend a lot of time contemplating monstrosity and thinking about fear. When I realized we had to speak out as a community, and began to invite others to participate, I wasn’t at all surprised by the massive response. We know what the stakes are in this election because we’ve imagined the worst possible outcomes.
–Tananarive Due

On October 15th, at 8pm Eastern time, Due and the rest of the Scare Up The Vote committee will host a massive online event to drive voter turnout and to raise money for the Harris/Walz campaign. Stephen King, Joe Hill, Rachel Harrison, Victor LaValle, Stephen Graham Jones, and many other authors will be joined by filmmakers including Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House, Doctor Sleep), Scott Derrickson (Doctor Strange, The Black Phone), Kevin Williamson (Scream), Don Mancini (Chucky), and Bryan Fuller (Hannibal, Star Trek: Discovery), along with actor David Dastmachlian (Late Night with the Devil).

The two-hour-plus event will include the guests talking about their love of horror stories alongside their thoughts about why the upcoming election is important to them and will stream live on October 15th. 

Due’s co-hosts and fellow committee members are authors and poets Linda A. Addison, Maxwell I. Gold, Christopher Golden, and Cynthia Pelayo with production managed by Robb Olson.

Go Into the Mind of Bryan Fuller with the Webcomic Mind Palace

Posted on by

Comics creator Dave Dwonch has been a fan of Bryan Fuller for a LONG time. Since the debt of Fuller’s Dead Like Me in 2003, Dwonch has been fascinated with the meteoric rise and quick demise of Fuller’s creations. From Wonderfalls to Pushing Daisies to Hannibal, Bryan Fuller’s creations have been acclaimed by both critics and fans and garnered worldwide attention, only to be cancelled within three years. That’s where Dwonch comes in.

Mind Palace explores Fuller’s creations and the cancellation of his creations. It explores a grieving process that tucks his memories of his creations all into one place, his mind.

The Mind Palace is a place where Bryan has sequestered his creations away. He hasn’t forgotten them, just given them a new purpose as the caretakers of a bed and breakfast in the back of his brain, the “The Fuller House.” Imagine a world where Hannibal Lecter is the Executive Chef to Ned’s Pastry Chef, where actress Caroline Dhavernas’ Alana Bloom and Jaye Tyler exist together. It’s a recipe for madness.

Is being trapped in one place a good thing? Some of these characters will have been impacted by that.

Mind Palace launched on San Diego Comic Con Preview Night with the first complete chapter, and new pages are posted every Tuesday and Thursday. Dwonch and artist Santi Guillen have planned Season One to span an entire year and hope to continue into Season Two in mid-2019.
