I think Silent Hill could really work in a medieval monastery. So much scope for self-reflection turning ugly and faith becoming misdirected, and lots of corridors to stalk around. #HorrorWritersChat

Poltergeist with all the modern tech. Imagine being sucked into an Alexa and you hear that little girl's voice? Your Alexa just starts saying, "Mommy, I can't hear you, Mommy!" *shudders* Or maybe Pazuzu as an influencer. Captain Howdy's make-up game is on point. #HorrorWritersChats

I've been wanting to write a Frankenstein story set in 1930's Los Angeles, where the "monster" is a private detective. I think a pulp mysterty with Franklin Stein, PI, investigating a weird, old-Hollywood murder case with other horror elements would be a hoot. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Scream in Victorian London... maybe written as a Sherlock Holmes type mystery, but with more gore as befitting a slasher. Add a gothic twist with a governess being the one menaced by the masked killer perhaps, in a grand old estate?

Oh, this is a fun one! Hmmm...how about The Grudge in Meiji Restoration Japan? You would have a rapidly modernizing Japan, as well as numerous foreigners, coming across this curse and falling prey to it despite their "modern sensibilities" and whatnot. Ooh, somebody make that! #HorrorWritersChat.

The obvious one is Predator, bc now we just want them in any given historical setting after Prey. A Hellraiser situation would be pretty interesting in another era, though. Set during the Inquisition, would they have to step up their game? #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat God, that's difficult! Okay, back to Mary... I think we can safely say we're hurtling full on to the post human era, the ultimate fear of which created that story.. What would Dr Frankenstein's monster look like RIGHT NOW...

Q4: #HorrorWritersChat Oh this is DANGEROUS. Dracula in the Wild West. Frankenstein Wild West. SAW in the Wild West. I think every horror IP would be well served placed in an Old West setting. You can't prove that it COULDN'T. Also, I call dibs on all of these. Just, you know, in case.
