#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: With a heavy heart, Noll laid aside the pistol Anya had given him before he left. He didn't need it, there were many ways to take a life. But, he missed the girl.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 3: Horror merch. My most beloved material possessions!

#HorrorWritersChat Question 2: Probably the future. The old have way more power in our society, so the most impactful thing I'll ever do is likely ahead of me.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 1: Pen name Victor K. Sanders. I write horror inspired by old movies. Also, I'll become a parent in May of next year, so if I die I intend to still be there for my child!

@marywyrd.bsky.social Quote posts are disabled? Now I'm sad. Sorry I missed this week.

#horrorwriting Working on a story I intended for r/NoSleep, but realizing it's probably too slow-burn for that. Now I don't know where to post it!

Was home sick today and tried my first @sainteuphoria.bsky.social movie, The Monster of Phantom Lake! It made my day significantly less miserable!

#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: "My sins take shape. My sins gain sight. They turn towards me. And I turn away."

#HorrorWritersChat Question 3: My three primary characters believe that anyone can have redemption if they try to change, that some people are unworthy of redemption, and that redemption is a meaningless concept and people are either dangerous or they aren't. I agree with the last one.

#HorrorWritersChat Question: Most of my characters haven't had enough choice in their lives yet to have regrets. The real question is, will they regret the choices they make when they get the chance?

#HorrorWritersChat Question One: Penname Victor K Sanders. I write movies inspired by old horror movies. I've actually made differing views on forgiveness a key difference in how my characters view the world.

@erynmccee.bsky.social @chaoticauthor.online Yesterday was my birthday, and look what I got! RIP Matt, I hate that I can't tell you what I think. #HorrorWritersChat remembers you.

#WritingCommunity At over 100k words, I finished my first draft yesterday, which was also my birthday. The current ending is terrible, but its such a big win just to have a draft done.

#HorrorWritersChat Question Four: Most likely pictures would be the first thing. They're subtle, but would imply much bigger changes.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 3: When I was in High School two country songs came out with similar openings. I ended up despising one because every time I heard it's opening I was hoping to hear the other one. I think maybe the good one was "Pickin' Wildflowers" and bad one was "I Love This Bar."

#HorrorWritersChat Question 2: Sound is the first warning of the unseen. So, it's very useful in building tension.

#HorrorWritersChat Pen Name Victor K. Sanders. I write horror inspired by classic movies. And I need quiet to write!

#HorrorWriting Weird question: Given how far a lot of modern horror goes, do you think there's still a place for horror that never goes to uncomfortable places? I wonder because I draw my inspiration from old movies that seem so tame today?

#WritingCommunity I've now started on the first draft of my final chapter. It feels surreal to see my story starting to come to a close.

#HorrorWritersChat I wanted everybody to know that yesterday I emailed my local library asking that they stock one of @chaoticauthor.online 's books. I do think it's something small we can all do to help remember him.

#HorrorWritersChat I'm not sure if I'm the right person to do this, but I can't imagine a better way to remember Matt than through his work. So, for anyone who hasn't yet, check it out: mgmasoncreative.com/all-my-books/

#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: My book. For anyone unaware, I'm writing a sequel to the Universal adaptation of Dracula from 1931. It's Public Domain in 2027, and God willing I'll self-publish on New Years Day! Shorten copyright protections! 95 years is absurd!

#HorrorWritersChat Question 3: I rarely dream beyond finding readers who think I'm worth their time. Turning a profit seems like a high aspiration to me. As for actual dreams, I rarely remember them.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 2: It means darkness. It means stories of outsiders. It means uncomfortable questions. Actually being afraid can be a surprisingly low priority for me.

🕯 Every one of these chats is a happy memory of Matt. #HorrorWritersChat Question One: Penname is Victor K Sanders. I write nostalgic horror based on old movies. I also do the occasional creepypasta.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: A lack of control. They all want power over their own fates, and usually the fate of others.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 3: If I don't do all of these things, I would have completely failed at creating a decently diverse cast.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 2: The Father is so easy to corrupt it almost seems like cheating.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 1: Victor K. Sanders and I write stories based on old horror movies. And I can't think of much the men have in common except maybe a sense of urgency.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: "So much information about the evolution of aquatic mammals, destroyed with that fossil."

#HorrorWritersChat Question 3: The human brain was never meant to advance this far. We're a bunch of monkeys who figured out how to split the atom. Unless we can fundamentally change our nature, we're probably doomed.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 2: To me, the most terrible truth is the horror everyone knows, but know one speaks of. The truth of Omelas, if you will.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 1: I write horror inspired by old movies. And terrible truths don't need to be hidden, humans just deny them anyway.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: How about fear of peasant revolts? Not nearly enough of that around anymore.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 3: Obviously I keep the old in my stories. But, if anyone knew our next great fear, it would already be our current great fear.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 2: I think a good ghost story is universal. We all die with regrets.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 1: Penname Victor K Sanders. I write horror inspired by old movies. And my childhood fear was Hell.

Happy 4th Birthday to Star Trek: Prodigy! Back in April, we paid tribute to its best episodes in a special called JUST THE MARRYs, and featuring @jessiegender.bsky.social @steveshives.bsky.social @ohtheprofanity.com & @drakkorex.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Oh, the horror! Perhaps my next scary story will be about a man who calls a cousin his Aunt! True terror ripped from the headlines!

I simply can not believe we’ve gotten to “crashed infected monkey truck” in this ludicrous timeline.

He's back!

“For free.”

#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: Probably Noll, because while my WiP is an ensemble piece, he's the only character who is both likeable, and actively drives the plot forward.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 3: The 1931 Dracula, the 1931 Frankenstein, the 1896 House of the Devil, and 1936's Dracula's Daughter.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 2: Google Docs (or any cloud service), so I can write from anywhere. Google, or any other good search engine for research. And Discord so I can chat with other writers for advice.

#HorrorWritersChat Question One: Pen name is Victor K. Sanders. I write stories inspired by classic horror movies. My perfect writing room is one with a functional keyboard.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: They're complimentary.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 3: I hope everyone, but probably the poor more.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 2: My stories tend to deal with small scales, but some people have the power to deny others the things that they need.
