Today’s guest is Matthew R. Corr, author of the retro-inspired horror novel Camp 1985 and creator of the ever-expanding Slasherverse series.
What begins as a tongue-in-cheek sendup of influencer culture quickly descends into something far more sinister—and emotionally resonant.
We dive deep into how Corr blends analog horror tropes with modern anxieties, explores identity and mental health through characters like Ander and Liam, and examines the darker sides of internet fame.
From Ouija boards and condemned churches to OCD and body image, this episode pulls no punches.
Matthew also opens up about his personal connection to the story, his journey from musical theater to indie horror fiction, and what fans can expect from Blood in the Water and the upcoming Static Snow.
If you’re a fan of slashers, ‘80s nostalgia, and horror that hits both the heart and the jugular—this conversation is for you.
