Let @drstevejones.bsky.social convince you that the postmodern slasher--like the underseen CRY WOLF, RIPPER & LOVER'S LANE--isn't just a SCREAM clone. "The Postmodern Slasher Film" is new from @edinburghup.bsky.social. Aca-priced, so email your library!

28 Days Later started a zombie debate that's still raging today
28 Years Later will bring fast zombies back to cinemas, but some horror fans still think the undead should move at a snail's pace. What do the experts think?
