In the Blumhouse, they don't pay you enough to scream! Wade into the world of schlock horror with a close critical look at the ghosts, demons, serial killers, aliens, and slug-things that populate Blumhouse studio films, from the early masterpiece Paranormal Activity to the borderline unfathomable decision to reboot Fantasy Island as a horror movie. Plus! antisemitic tropes in They Live; why you should root for Damien in The Omen; why James Baldwin would have loved Angel Heart; and why The Shallows is better than The Birds. 58k words to shock, terrorize, and inspire on a low budget. The series that became the core of this book was first published on Splice Today.
