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 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?

Okay, hear me out; Nightmare on Elm's Street, but in the medieval times. Frederick von Kruger manifests at night through people's biblical texts, paintings, frescoes, stained glass in churches, ANYTHING of religious imagery, visual or textual... #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat off the top of my head, but it would be fun to see Chucky in a puritanical US setting. Probably be made of cloth and still have the possessed by a serial killer angle, but I think adding a layer of the time period’s “stop the lies, you’re demonic, child!” would be interesting.

I’m Sarah, I write sort of introspective unsettling cuddly horror. My bestie says I wrap you up in a blanket and give you a mug of tea next to the fire and then tell a story that leaves you staring bleakly into the abyss. But at least you have tea? I loved Mexican Gothic and What Moves the Dead

Q2: #HorrorWritersChat What was going on in the world, from slang to weather, if I’m writing in an era, becomes important for immersion and accuracy.

#HorrorWritersChat Q4: I would love to do a more historical lovecraftian story. Reather then late 1800s or 1920s, let's take it way back. I wanta cult to dredge up Dagon in medieval Europe. Knights vs fish-men, seems rad.

Interesting question. Hmm... What if Frankenstein were a Western? The Monster riding into towns searching for his creator. A chase across the desert. Frankenstein pinned down by a posse. Conversation in a jail cell. Sand instead of snow. #HorrorWritersChat

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

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.

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

An EXCELLENT question! It depends on who the character is, and how important that backstory is to the character. In Land of Gold, Lucius is given a part of his backstory where he transitions from female to male, to showcase how people can transition through Dhampiric Baptism. #HorrorWritersChat

Q3. I'm not necessarily writing my own trauma into my fiction (for one thing my family is still alive and it would not go over well 😂) but inevitably the colors, the shades, the pain and joys make it in. Sometimes I don't even notice until my therapist points it out years later. #HorrorWritersChat

As people, every character is their own world. I am a world builder. But in many stories - especially short ones - the reader only sees the tip of the iceberg. I've researched 1880s Poland, post-War Germany & US, the stalled revivification of Baltimore's Chinatown... #HorrorWritersChat

Many of my characters might be good people, but they've made bad decisions for good reasons and life has kind of kicked the shit out of them for it. Fuckups. They want to do better, and I think that comes from a personal space. A desire to do the right thing -- not the easy thing. #HorrorWritersChat
