Happy Halloween Week! The Book Smugglers, properly, celebrate the best holiday of the year with an entire week of reviews/lists/stories/essays about the horror genre, and they invited me to write a thing. People asking me to yak about horror? Obviously, I had to.

Thus I present “Horror Movies – Moving Past the Final Girl,” in which I discuss alternate ways to make scary movies scarier and final girls more interesting. Also, I may or may not propose making Ocean’s Eleven a slasher flick. I admit nothing.
