By Chad Collins Verified| Dread Central Verified Scream might be the most iterated horror formula out there. Ever since Wes Craven’s masterpiece shook the horror world in 1996, everyone was trying to out-Scream Scream. Scribe Kevin Williamson tried to outdo himself with both I Know What You Did Last Summer and The Faculty. Germany dipped into the slasher pool with The Pool. Jamie Blanks helmed both Urban Legend and Valentine, two slasher classics indebted to Scream. The 1990s were something else if you were a slasher fan. And then the trend died.
By Chad Collins Verified| Dread Central Verified Last week, our Managing Editor Josh Korngut penned my favorite editorial of the year thus far. Responding to the recent news of Mike Flanagan’s new take on Stephen King’s Carrie, Korngut questions why fidelity to the source material never translates one of the text’s most pointed descriptions—Carrie’s appearance. Carrie White, as written, is a fat girl, though the many adaptations on stage and screen never seem to care all that much.
