On today’s episode, author Sara Farizan chats with me about the 1982 cult film Halloween III: Season of the Witch.
We also tie the film’s themes pretty tightly to her recent YA horror novel, Dead Flip, which is set in the late 80s and early 90s and revolves around a possibly haunted pinball machine.
We get into the pop-culture of cursed objects and cursed capitalism, how nostalgia can be used for both good and evil, why certain story-tellers of the past might have gotten burned out, and finally, how we, as working writers, try to stop that from happening with our own creative practices.
