Horror Addicts Guide to Life 2
What is your name and what is your horror area of interest?
I’m Jonathan Fortin, and I’m a Horror and Dark Fantasy author.
What is your work in HAGL2 about?
25 Of The Most Metal Films (That Aren’t About Metal) is list of movies that aren’t specifically about metal, but capture the essence of the music genre. It was created as a promotional article for my horror short story Requiem In Frost, which is about a girl being haunted by the ghost of a murdered black metal musician, and trying to find his killer.
What is your favorite horror subject and why?
I have a special interest in all things Gothic, from the dark crumbling castles to the beautiful Victorian outfits to the psychological intrigue. I love monsters, explorations of mental illness/trauma, dark romance/eroticism, and transformation. My work also often features body horror, and more than a few Lovecraftian influences as well.
What are you looking forward to in the horror genre?
I’m really excited for Stranger Things Season 4, Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities, and Jordan Peele’s Nope. I’m also really hoping Netflix’s Sandman show, HBO’s The Last Of Us show, AMC’s Interview With The Vampire show, and Evil Dead Rise are good, but I also have a certain degree of anxiety about whether they’ll live up to their names.
