American Writers Museum presents a discussion with national bestseller Paul Tremblay about his new novel "Horror Movie: A Novel," a chilling twist on the "cursed film" genre from the author of "The Pallbearers Club," "A Head Full of Ghosts," "The Cabin at the End of the World," and more. Tremblay’s latest is an obsessive, psychologically chilling, and suspenseful feat of storytelling genius that builds inexorably to an unforgettable, mind-bending conclusion. Tremblay is joined in conversation by author Gus Moreno.
This conversation originally took place May 13, 2024 and was recorded live at the American Writers Museum. For a full list of upcoming programs and events with the American Writers Museum, click here: [ Ссылка ]
More about "Horror Movie:"
In June 1993, a group of young guerilla filmmakers spent four weeks making "Horror Movie," a notorious, disturbing, art-house horror flick.
The weird part? Only three of the film’s scenes were ever released to the public, but "Horror Movie" has nevertheless grown a rabid fanbase. Three decades later, Hollywood is pushing for a big budget reboot.
The man who played "The Thin Kid" is the only surviving cast member. He remembers all too well the secrets buried within the original screenplay, the bizarre events of the filming, and the dangerous crossed lines on set that resulted in tragedy. As memories flood back in, the boundaries between reality and film, past and present start to blur. But he’s going to help remake the film, even if it means navigating a world of cynical producers, egomaniacal directors, and surreal fan conventions—demons of the past be damned.
But at what cost?
