"content": "\u003cp>How mainstream is horror today? Frighteningly mainstream. Let’s just look at some of the biggest smash hits recently on television and streaming video: Shows like \u003cem>Stranger Things\u003c/em>, \u003cem>American Horror Story\u003c/em> and \u003cem>The Walking Dead\u003c/em> all fit into to this once-maligned genre.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To feed this hunger for horror, AMC—the channel behind \u003cem>The Walking Dead\u003c/em>—decided to create a dedicated streaming service called Shudder, featuring horror movies, shows, even documentaries. Craig Engler is the general manager for Shudder, and he says the service is taking off because horror has lots of fans, it’s a bargain to make, and more people like it than they realize. “People think horror is just the \u003cem>Halloween\u003c/em> movies, or \u003cem>Friday the 13th\u003c/em>,” he says. And you will find those classics on Shudder—but also original programming like the wildly successful series C\u003cem>reepshow\u003c/em>, inspired by the stories of Stephen King.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inzsKlVR_N8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Had AMC put \u003cem>Creepshow\u003c/em> on cable, it would’ve doubtless attracted thousands, if not millions, more eyeballs, but the idea was to lure viewers into the next evolution of media. Audiences are gravitating away from old-fashioned cable channels and towards streaming video—that’s why Disney, HBO, Apple and every other massive media company on the planet is adding or expanding streaming services right now. Over the past few years, AMC has launched several streaming services—including Shudder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the intentions with \u003cem>Creepshow\u003c/em> was to draw people to Shudder,” says Greg Nicotero, the executive producer of both \u003cem>Creepshow\u003c/em> and \u003cem>The Walking Dead\u003c/em>. Luring horror fans with a familiar and beloved Stephen King property was the first step, he says, towards convincing them to stick around for thousands of hours of smart, interestingly curated horror, ranging from an Indonesian box office hit called \u003cem>Satan’s Slaves\u003c/em> (“It was so crazy good, and I loved it so much!” he says) to a feminist rape-revenge movie by French filmmaker Coralie Fargeat called, well, \u003cem>Revenge\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Revenge\u003c/em> is Fargeat’s first feature film. And even though Shudder’s a relatively small streaming service, she says it was in some ways a better place for her movie than Netflix. “You have so many movies and so many algorithms that make you appear or disappear,” she observes about Netflix—but Shudder’s movies appear in front of audiences invested in seeing them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shudder was founded in 2015. Four years later, the service has the top three best reviewed horror movies of the year so far, \u003ca href=\"https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/best-horror-movies-of-2019/\">according to Rotten Tomatoes\u003c/a>, and you can only watch them on Shudder. (One of them, \u003cem>Tigers Are Not Afraid\u003c/em>, was made by Issa López, another female director. Based in Mexico City, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/08/25/753877130/in-tigers-are-not-afraid-a-dark-fantasy-amid-mexico-s-drug-war\">she spoke to NPR this summer\u003c/a> about her darkly thoughtful fairy tale of children orphaned—and literally haunted—by Mexican drug cartels.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyoE0mSJXO8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Horror travels super well,” says Shudder general manager Craig Engler. “The things we’re afraid of are universal.” Exactly how universal would be more clear if Shudder released its subscription information—but those numbers remain shrouded in mystery, per company policy. “Which is a shame,” Engler says, “because the metrics are awesome. We are growing by leaps and bounds. Almost every month, we set new records in terms of viewership, in terms of subscriber acquisition.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That doesn’t surprise Laura Martin, a media analyst for Needham, “because,” she says, “the fans are so rabid.” Forget competing with giant services like Netflix, Martin says. It’s smarter to focus on enthusiastic fan bases that love relatively cheap content—and promoting it to each other. Martin points to another streaming service owned by AMC, \u003ca href=\"https://acorn.tv/\">Acorn TV\u003c/a>, which enjoys a similarly passionate group of fans. They’re always starving for their preferred content, and essentially advertise it via word of mouth. The difference? Acorn fans are into high-end British television, especially mysteries. “So I actually think this is sort of an inspired choice that AMC is pursuing here,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Venn diagram of British mystery-lovers and fans of horror movies there’s another surprising commonality, says Engler: “There’s a huge overlap between Shudder members and people who read books.” It’s a rare demographic admission that gives horror fans an eerily shared interest not only with British TV fans—but also NPR listeners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was edited for radio by Nina Gregory and adapted for the Web by Petra Mayer\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2019 NPR.

Craig Engler is the general manager for Shudder, and he says the service is taking off because horror has lots of fans, it’s a bargain to make, and more people like it than they realize. “People think horror is just the \u003cem>Halloween\u003c/em> movies, or \u003cem>Friday the 13th\u003c/em>,” he says. And you will find those classics on Shudder—but also original programming like the wildly successful series C\u003cem>reepshow\u003c/em>, inspired by the stories of Stephen King.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/inzsKlVR_N8'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/inzsKlVR_N8'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Had AMC put \u003cem>Creepshow\u003c/em> on cable, it would’ve doubtless attracted thousands, if not millions, more eyeballs, but the idea was to lure viewers into the next evolution of media. Audiences are gravitating away from old-fashioned cable channels and towards streaming video—that’s why Disney, HBO, Apple and every other massive media company on the planet is adding or expanding streaming services right now. Over the past few years, AMC has launched several streaming services—including Shudder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the intentions with \u003cem>Creepshow\u003c/em> was to draw people to Shudder,” says Greg Nicotero, the executive producer of both \u003cem>Creepshow\u003c/em> and \u003cem>The Walking Dead\u003c/em>. Luring horror fans with a familiar and beloved Stephen King property was the first step, he says, towards convincing them to stick around for thousands of hours of smart, interestingly curated horror, ranging from an Indonesian box office hit called \u003cem>Satan’s Slaves\u003c/em> (“It was so crazy good, and I loved it so much!” he says) to a feminist rape-revenge movie by French filmmaker Coralie Fargeat called, well, \u003cem>Revenge\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And even though Shudder’s a relatively small streaming service, she says it was in some ways a better place for her movie than Netflix. “You have so many movies and so many algorithms that make you appear or disappear,” she observes about Netflix—but Shudder’s movies appear in front of audiences invested in seeing them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shudder was founded in 2015. Four years later, the service has the top three best reviewed horror movies of the year so far, \u003ca href=\"https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/best-horror-movies-of-2019/\">according to Rotten Tomatoes\u003c/a>, and you can only watch them on Shudder. (One of them, \u003cem>Tigers Are Not Afraid\u003c/em>, was made by Issa López, another female director. Based in Mexico City, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/08/25/753877130/in-tigers-are-not-afraid-a-dark-fantasy-amid-mexico-s-drug-war\">she spoke to NPR this summer\u003c/a> about her darkly thoughtful fairy tale of children orphaned—and literally haunted—by Mexican drug cartels.)\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/KyoE0mSJXO8'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/KyoE0mSJXO8'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>“Horror travels super well,” says Shudder general manager Craig Engler. “The things we’re afraid of are universal.” Exactly how universal would be more clear if Shudder released its subscription information—but those numbers remain shrouded in mystery, per company policy. “Which is a shame,” Engler says, “because the metrics are awesome. We are growing by leaps and bounds. Almost every month, we set new records in terms of viewership, in terms of subscriber acquisition.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That doesn’t surprise Laura Martin, a media analyst for Needham, “because,” she says, “the fans are so rabid.” Forget competing with giant services like Netflix, Martin says. It’s smarter to focus on enthusiastic fan bases that love relatively cheap content—and promoting it to each other. Martin points to another streaming service owned by AMC, \u003ca href=\"https://acorn.tv/\">Acorn TV\u003c/a>, which enjoys a similarly passionate group of fans. They’re always starving for their preferred content, and essentially advertise it via word of mouth. The difference? Acorn fans are into high-end British television, especially mysteries. “So I actually think this is sort of an inspired choice that AMC is pursuing here,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Venn diagram of British mystery-lovers and fans of horror movies there’s another surprising commonality, says Engler: “There’s a huge overlap between Shudder members and people who read books.” It’s a rare demographic admission that gives horror fans an eerily shared interest not only with British TV fans—but also NPR listeners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was edited for radio by Nina Gregory and adapted for the Web by Petra Mayer\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2019 NPR.

It features a range of authentic dresses, accessories and jewelry (including some amazing human hair rings), along with a wealth of information about the rules and social expectations imposed on mourners of the era.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year’s three-week run focuses in particular on how funeral rites evolved during the Victorian era, from something families did at home into a cottage industry.

"content": "\u003cp>Trauma is not neat and pretty to deal with; it is not easily diagnosed, it does not vanish on its own, and its lingering effects can touch those around us. In the latest sequel to the long and winding \u003cem>Halloween \u003c/em>series, trauma plays an important role in the narrative arc of famed final girl Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis). You might remember her from the original 1978 John Carpenter film, which saw her screaming, running, discovering her friends brutally murdered, then fending off a serial killer to protect the kids she was babysitting. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 2018 sequel picks up several decades later, and while it largely conforms to the retro thrills of the “serial killer on the loose” subgenre, it makes something interesting out of Laurie’s earlier experience. In this film, trauma and survivor’s guilt are not swept under the rug, as often happens in sequels. Instead, Laurie’s experience shapes her behavior and her relationship with both her loved ones and the wider world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Horror movies have lightly toyed with a character’s trauma for dramatic effect before. In Neil Marshall’s \u003cem>The Descent\u003c/em>, Sarah (Shauna Macdonald) tries to cope with the loss of her family in an accident by reuniting with friends and taking a girl’s trip. Things go terribly wrong on the group’s cave-diving adventure, and the memory of her daughter as well as her survivor’s guilt haunt her as she fights off cannibalistic monsters. Wes Craven’s \u003cem>Scream \u003c/em>features Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) struggling to cope with her mother’s murder. When a similar killer starts attacking her classmates, it brings her worst fears back to her doorstep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in this present-day \u003cem>Halloween\u003c/em>, directed by David Gordon Green, trauma is no mere plot device; it’s the film’s explicit subject. Laurie has become a virtual hermit, closing herself off from a world that saw her more like a freak show than a survivor. She’s quick to shut out journalists looking to make a sensational story out of her experience. In this timeline, which skips all of the other sequels, Laurie arms herself in case serial killer Michael Myers returns. She teaches her daughter how to survive, how to shoot, and when to seek shelter in the family panic room. She’s trying to inoculate her daughter from fully inheriting her trauma, as when young women are taught to walk to their cars with their keys between their fingers. This \u003cem>Halloween \u003c/em>sets out to explore the emotional cost of seeing a monster in every shadow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/ek1ePFp-nBI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laurie’s insistence that her daughter Karen (Judy Greer) learn to protect herself and check around every corner causes a rift in their relationship: Karen resents her mother for the survivalist training and for exposing her to secondhand paranoia. She settles for a passive husband and refuses to train her own daughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) the way her mother raised her. She naively considers her mother’s trauma to be hers alone and actively tries to separate Laurie from spending time with her granddaughter. In the movie, trying to break the cycle of fear leaves them vulnerable to the man who caused the fear in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We see why Karen has so forcefully pushed Laurie out in one especially tense dinner scene: A visibly shaken Laurie shows up late to meet the family at a restaurant, upsetting the shallow pleasantries. Granddaughter Allyson tries to calm her, while daughter Karen becomes confrontational, angry that her mother has shown up at all. Curtis’ performance here is moving — she’s clearly uncomfortable within seconds of sitting down at the table. She keeps looking past the others nervously, while Karen’s body language telegraphs her frustration at the challenges of caring for someone struggling with mental health issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trauma manifests in ways we can’t control, often at times when it isn’t appropriate to cry or scream. Laurie’s instability in these moments is palpable, and helps explain why she took such drastic measures against a (likely supernaturally driven) killer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laurie’s story could have gone any number of ways. She could have buried her trauma, reliving it only in nightmares. She could have moved to another part of the world. If it’s disappointing to see Laurie Strode turned, here, into a gun-toting survivalist in a standard revenge plot, the actress’ own words may shed some light on that decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Austin’s Fantastic Fest screening last month, \u003ca href=\"https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/jamie-lee-curtis-flips-a-fan-the-bird-and-talks-trauma-at-halloweens-fantastic-fest\">Curtis told the crowd\u003c/a>, “Laurie Strode went back to school on November 1st with a bandage on her arm. She left school on the 31st, this dreaming, intellectual, going-off-to-college girl. And she came back on the first of November a freak, where everybody talked about her. Nobody helped her. And that’s what I think was the reasoning behind going back to the original trauma. And I’m really glad they did.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would have been nice if more women could have had some say in the narrative trajectory Laurie has taken, instead of film’s all-male screenwriting trio of Green, Danny McBride and John Fradley. However, this \u003cem>Halloween\u003c/em> highlights a question that horror films so often ignore: How does a genre that unleashes so much violence on its characters grapple with post-traumatic stress disorder, trauma and grief? Horror filmmakers will always terrorize their characters in the moment, of course — but here’s hoping we’ll start to see more films willing to explore the lingering costs of \u003cem>living \u003c/em>with fear every day. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this latest \u003cem>Halloween \u003c/em>may not accomplish everything it sets out to do, it amply demonstrates how difficult it can be to move on from the ghosts of traumas past.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Located in the historic Old San Francisco Mint, Terror Vault is an immersive theatrical experience lasting around 45 minutes long, featuring some of SF’s fiercest underground performers—and a narrative based partly in fact. Meanwhile, Dead Zone is a lighter and kid-friendly (ages 10+) game of zombie tag with a scavenger-hunt component. With production design by David Mazochi (David Flower Productions), scripting by Christ, and operations support by Non Plus Ultra, this collaborative spectacle will be a Halloween highlight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13842064\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13842064\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Your-master-of-Terrormonies_SindieChopper_PhotoCredit_NatalieAshodian-800x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Your-master-of-Terrormonies_SindieChopper_PhotoCredit_NatalieAshodian-800x683.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Your-master-of-Terrormonies_SindieChopper_PhotoCredit_NatalieAshodian-160x137.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Your-master-of-Terrormonies_SindieChopper_PhotoCredit_NatalieAshodian-768x656.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Your-master-of-Terrormonies_SindieChopper_PhotoCredit_NatalieAshodian-960x820.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Your-master-of-Terrormonies_SindieChopper_PhotoCredit_NatalieAshodian-240x205.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Your-master-of-Terrormonies_SindieChopper_PhotoCredit_NatalieAshodian-375x320.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Your-master-of-Terrormonies_SindieChopper_PhotoCredit_NatalieAshodian-520x444.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Your-master-of-Terrormonies_SindieChopper_PhotoCredit_NatalieAshodian.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Master of Terrormonies, Sindie Chopper. \u003ccite>(Natalie Ashodian)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Terror-rama III: Dead the Whole Time\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Awesome Theatre, Pianofight, 144 Taylor St., San Francisco\u003cbr>\nOct. 12–27\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://awesometheatre.org/2018/04/30/terror-rama-iii-dead-the-whole-time/\">Details here\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sit in a dark room with a duet of diabolical new works: “My Cannibal Summer,” featuring a star-crossed Cannibal romance, and “The Suffered,” a ghost story, written by Awesome Theatre members Claire Rice and Colin Johnson, and hosted by Master of Terrormonies, Sindie Chopper.

In addition to two original haunted spaces, Doc’s Horrortorium and Lil Horrus’s Fun House, Blind Scream also offers the ultimate in fear, called the Last Ride. For a mere five dollars, you can climb inside a coffin, shut the lid, and get a joyride to the cemetery where dirt is shoveled atop the coffin and you’re left (temporarily) for the worms.

Located in the historic Old San Francisco Mint, Terror Vault is an immersive theatrical experience lasting around 45 minutes long, featuring some of SF’s fiercest underground performers—and a narrative based partly in fact. Meanwhile, Dead Zone is a lighter and kid-friendly (ages 10+) game of zombie tag with a scavenger-hunt component. With production design by David Mazochi (David Flower Productions), scripting by Christ, and operations support by Non Plus Ultra, this collaborative spectacle will be a Halloween highlight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13842064\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13842064\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Your-master-of-Terrormonies_SindieChopper_PhotoCredit_NatalieAshodian-800x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Your-master-of-Terrormonies_SindieChopper_PhotoCredit_NatalieAshodian-800x683.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Your-master-of-Terrormonies_SindieChopper_PhotoCredit_NatalieAshodian-160x137.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Your-master-of-Terrormonies_SindieChopper_PhotoCredit_NatalieAshodian-768x656.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Your-master-of-Terrormonies_SindieChopper_PhotoCredit_NatalieAshodian-960x820.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Your-master-of-Terrormonies_SindieChopper_PhotoCredit_NatalieAshodian-240x205.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Your-master-of-Terrormonies_SindieChopper_PhotoCredit_NatalieAshodian-375x320.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Your-master-of-Terrormonies_SindieChopper_PhotoCredit_NatalieAshodian-520x444.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Your-master-of-Terrormonies_SindieChopper_PhotoCredit_NatalieAshodian.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Master of Terrormonies, Sindie Chopper. \u003ccite>(Natalie Ashodian)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Terror-rama III: Dead the Whole Time\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Awesome Theatre, Pianofight, 144 Taylor St., San Francisco\u003cbr>\nOct. 12–27\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://awesometheatre.org/2018/04/30/terror-rama-iii-dead-the-whole-time/\">Details here\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sit in a dark room with a duet of diabolical new works: “My Cannibal Summer,” featuring a star-crossed Cannibal romance, and “The Suffered,” a ghost story, written by Awesome Theatre members Claire Rice and Colin Johnson, and hosted by Master of Terrormonies, Sindie Chopper.

In addition to two original haunted spaces, Doc’s Horrortorium and Lil Horrus’s Fun House, Blind Scream also offers the ultimate in fear, called the Last Ride. For a mere five dollars, you can climb inside a coffin, shut the lid, and get a joyride to the cemetery where dirt is shoveled atop the coffin and you’re left (temporarily) for the worms.

Not only does its forced sense of good, clean fun chill me to the ribs, but the song was also unforgettably used in \u003cem>In On It\u003c/em>, by Daniel MacIvor — an unsettling play I saw at the Thick House in San Francisco that \u003ca href=\"http://archives.sfweekly.com/sanfrancisco/this-and-that/Content?oid=2159172\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">still haunts me\u003c/a> 10 years on. — \u003cem>Chloe Veltman\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Martin Simpson, “House Carpenter”\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSzovwKIaoc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“What hills, what hills are those, my love?” \u003c/em>Christ, a decade after hearing it, this is still the scariest song I know. An arrangement of the traditional Scottish ballad “The Daemon Lover” (spoiler alert!) by English folk hero Martin Simpson, “House Carpenter” is a narrative of pure, queasy comeuppance as a faithless woman abandons her family to set sail with a long-lost love, only to discover her truly hellish mistake once they’re alone at sea. The stomach-churning reveal — “she espied his cloven hoof…” — is the stuff of satanic horror movies, propelled along by the inevitability of Simpson’s relentless fretwork that increasingly sounds like taunting. How anyone can listen to this one after dark is beyond me. —\u003cem> Carly Severn\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Rebbie Jackson, “Centipede”\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8SdzwoIcwo\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What do you do when you’re born into a super-talented family with no discernible talent of your own? Fake it ’til you make it — or, in the case of Rebbie, eldest of the Jacksons, fake it ’til you make a horrifying song about a horny centipede. This song terrifies me for a variety of reasons (the use of the phrase “snake that’s on the loose” as a metaphor for someone’s penis, for starters), but the terror mostly stems from the fact that centipedes are creepy, and centipedes that want to have intense sex with you are even creepier. \u003cem>— Emmanuel Hapsis\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Reinhard Lakomy, “Gespensterduett”\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o78IAwjsLQc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I was growing up in Berlin, almost every night, I listened to a vinyl LP (yup, this is how old I am) from German composer Reinhard Lakomy. As the most-published musician in the German Democratic Republic at the time, one of Lakomy’s famous records was for kids called \u003cem>Traumzauberbaum\u003c/em>. Every time when “Gespensterduett” began playing, I was startled, and hid behind my hair under the blanket just wishing the song would be over… listening to it now, it all comes back. — \u003cem>Johanna Reis\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Neko Case, “Make Your Bed”\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Neko Case - Make Your Bed\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/gVuF6yr1oz0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this spooky, stripped-down song, Neko Case sings the part of a vengeful woman who puts her man “to rest at the bend in the river” and invites his “young girl” to make her bed beside him. If Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” is one response to infidelity (a plaintive plea), “Make Your Bed” is another, less forgiving approach (a postmortem tune). Case’s sweet voice belies a song full of violence and madness, with lines that always give me the chills: “Only one thought pacifies me / That the murky black water grounds your bones into sand / When the catfish have stripped off your hide.” — \u003cem>Sarah Hotchkiss \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Goblin, Score to ‘Suspiria’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkZ2rdbDHM4&feature=youtu.be&t=1s\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I imagine this soundtrack — which opens with a haunting, sing-song refrain, then builds into an wall of anxious, electro-prog chase music, punctuated by a menacing male voice whispering taunts — would be scary even if you haven’t seen the 1977 cult film for which it was written. But if you have, Goblin immediately transports you to an austere German dance academy, where behind every closed door lies a sort of salacious teachers’ lounge for murderous witches — or, sometimes, just a sh*t ton of potentially fatal barbed wire, for no apparent reason. Regardless: I dare you to drive around at night in a sparsely populated rural area with the \u003cem>“witch, witch, witch”\u003c/em> part playing, and just \u003cem>try\u003c/em> to keep your cool. —\u003cem> Emma Silvers \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Geto Boys, “Mind Playing Tricks On Me”\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dghay5K3B4M\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The songs that scare me are less “blood and gore” and super hood-specific. This one, for example, scared the sh*t outta me as a kid, especially the last verse when Bushwick Bill flips out and punches the concrete. Let’s just say crackheads were a very real thing for a kid growing up in Oakland in the ’80s and ’90s! — \u003cem>Jamedra Brown Fleischman \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Nurse With Wound, “Salt Marie Celeste”\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6dxWzS4XEo\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This very simple, hourlong ambient piece begins quietly but ominously, with gradually intensifying swells of digital noise. It grows into an atmosphere inky black with distinctly maritime swells — overlain with wooden creaks, groans and skitterings. By itself, it’s genuinely unsettling. And then there’s what it’s named for: the Mary Celeste, a merchant ship famously found adrift and abandoned in the Atlantic in 1872. It’s still not known what happened to her crew, who were never seen or heard from again. If you’re a sucker for nautical horror, turn off the lights and put on your headphones. — \u003cem>David Marks\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Sword Heaven, “Town Hag”\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJbJPlk9NBs\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve always been a scaredy cat, even though I grew up in the heyday of horror movies. I wasn’t allowed to see \u003cem>Nightmare on Elm Street\u003c/em> or \u003cem>Friday the 13th\u003c/em> as a kid, but even on the rare occasion when I had a chance to watch a scary movie, I turned and ran: Just the thought of monsters like Freddy Krueger and Leatherface was enough to give me nightmares. As I got older, though, I realized my imagination was much more frightening. Which brings me to “Town Hag” by “horror sound” duo Sword Heaven, a track that’s continually given me the heebie-jeebies since I first heard it years ago. This recording still taps into my childhood fears, inspiring visions of a monster that would give H.P. Lovecraft the runs. If you’ve hit play and you don’t find yourself scrambling to turn it off, imagine hearing those noises coming from a locked room at the end of a dark hallway — do you dare investigate? — \u003cem>Kevin Jones\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

An arrangement of the traditional Scottish ballad “The Daemon Lover” (spoiler alert!) by English folk hero Martin Simpson, “House Carpenter” is a narrative of pure, queasy comeuppance as a faithless woman abandons her family to set sail with a long-lost love, only to discover her truly hellish mistake once they’re alone at sea. The stomach-churning reveal — “she espied his cloven hoof…” — is the stuff of satanic horror movies, propelled along by the inevitability of Simpson’s relentless fretwork that increasingly sounds like taunting.

This song terrifies me for a variety of reasons (the use of the phrase “snake that’s on the loose” as a metaphor for someone’s penis, for starters), but the terror mostly stems from the fact that centipedes are creepy, and centipedes that want to have intense sex with you are even creepier. \u003cem>— Emmanuel Hapsis\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Reinhard Lakomy, “Gespensterduett”\u003c/h2>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/o78IAwjsLQc'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/o78IAwjsLQc'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>When I was growing up in Berlin, almost every night, I listened to a vinyl LP (yup, this is how old I am) from German composer Reinhard Lakomy. As the most-published musician in the German Democratic Republic at the time, one of Lakomy’s famous records was for kids called \u003cem>Traumzauberbaum\u003c/em>.

If Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” is one response to infidelity (a plaintive plea), “Make Your Bed” is another, less forgiving approach (a postmortem tune).

But if you have, Goblin immediately transports you to an austere German dance academy, where behind every closed door lies a sort of salacious teachers’ lounge for murderous witches — or, sometimes, just a sh*t ton of potentially fatal barbed wire, for no apparent reason.

And then there’s what it’s named for: the Mary Celeste, a merchant ship famously found adrift and abandoned in the Atlantic in 1872. It’s still not known what happened to her crew, who were never seen or heard from again.

Which brings me to “Town Hag” by “horror sound” duo Sword Heaven, a track that’s continually given me the heebie-jeebies since I first heard it years ago. This recording still taps into my childhood fears, inspiring visions of a monster that would give H.P. Lovecraft the runs.

Earlier this year, he mined the wealth of his extensive newspaper career archive to publish a two-volume set of books featuring interviews with more than 70 famous funny men and women, titled \u003cem>The Funniest Comedy Icons of the 20th Century\u003c/em> (BearManor Media).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the books, which provide a look into the bygone world of vintage Hollywood and showbiz, Stanley recounts chats with stars including Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Lucile Ball, Joan Rivers, Woody Allen and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It amazes me sometimes that I collected all of that material,” says Stanley over the phone from his home in Pacifica. “It was wonderful to put them all together and update them a little bit, give them a fresh point of view.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of the material has never been published before — in his original assignments, Stanley worked with the space constraints of a print publication. But combing through his notes and interviews, he found a treasure trove of unused anecdotes from celebrities, including many who, despite being some of the most famous people on the planet at the time, were stunningly down-to-earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bob Hope, for example, stands out as a particularly fond memory. Stanley recalls how a publicist brought Stanley to Hope’s front door, introduced the two, and then left, leaving them for a one-on-one talk and lunch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the great moments was when he ran up the stairs [back into the house] and I followed him, and as I walked down the corridor I realized that the walls were covered with photographs of his USO tours,” says Stanley. “Him with generals MacArthur and Eisenhower, with four presidents. Bob then told me this very moving story.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hope recounted a time during World War II in which he had entertained the troops just before a major invasion. Several weeks later he was visiting a military hospital when a few of the patients, wounded soldiers, looked over and remembered him from that particular show. Joyfully, they started chanting the name of the island where the show had taken place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Bob said ‘That was the one and only time I visited a military hospital and I broke down. Tears were running down my face. I had to walk out of the ward; I had never done that. I recomposed myself out in the hallway, turned around, went back in, and acted like nothing had happened.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12265630\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 679px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/Stanley-Skeleton.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12265630\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/Stanley-Skeleton.jpg\" alt=\"John Stanley\" width=\"679\" height=\"1076\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/Stanley-Skeleton.jpg 679w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/Stanley-Skeleton-160x254.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/Stanley-Skeleton-240x380.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/Stanley-Skeleton-375x594.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/Stanley-Skeleton-520x824.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">John Stanley. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of John Stanley)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Another chapter details some of the challenges of dealing with celebrities that didn’t want to conform to the standard interview process. In 1967, Stanley was assigned to interview Woody Allen at the Hungry I in San Francisco’s North Beach — but things didn’t go quite as planned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He steps up to the bar and bluntly, flat-out tells me he does not want to do an interview with me,” remembers Stanley. “But then he says to come back the next night and that he’ll have something for me. In all my years of doing celebrity interviews, I’ve never encountered a moment like this one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Stanley returned the next night, Allen gave him a “manifesto” — which turned into a comedic, rambling article that the journalist brought when he met with his editor the next day. The two discussed it, shrugged their shoulders, and decided to publish it in place of a standard interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the celebrity stories from his \u003cem>Chronicle\u003c/em> career might seem impressive, he’s got a bona fide fan base from his \u003cem>Creature Features\u003c/em> days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Picking up on that fandom, the show’s producers are planning a comeback. On the evening of Saturday, Oct. 29, North Bay TV (a local broadcast station) will air \u003cem>Watch Horror Films, Keep America Strong\u003c/em>, a documentary about the show.

It’s like a corpse that never quite dies,” he says with a laugh, finding the Halloween-appropriate analogy. “It just keeps shambling through another decade of your life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-800x78.jpg\" alt=\"Q.Logo.Break\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12127869\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">John Stanley appears at Alien Con this weekend, Oct. 28 through Oct. 30, at the Santa Clara Convention Center. \u003ca href=\"https://www.thealiencon.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More info and tickets ($45 – $50) here\u003c/a>. \u003c/span>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

He began in 1961 as a pop culture reporter for the \u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em>, where he stayed for 33 years, interviewing some of the most legendary movie stars and personalities of the classic silver screen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for generations of Bay Area horror and Sci-fi fans, he’s best known as a host of the late-night, cult favorite KTVU show \u003cem>Creature Features\u003c/em>, which ran in the mid-1970s through the mid-1980s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanley will be sure to encounter fans of both these bodies of work this weekend when \u003ca href=\"http://www.thealiencon.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he appears at the inaugural Alien Con in Santa Clara, this Friday, Oct. 28 through Sunday, Oct. 30\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12265628\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 920px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/920x920.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12265628\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/920x920.jpg\" alt=\"John Stanley (left) and Bob Wilkins on the set of 'Creature Features.'\" width=\"920\" height=\"631\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/920x920.jpg 920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/920x920-160x110.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/920x920-800x549.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/920x920-768x527.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/920x920-240x165.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/920x920-375x257.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/920x920-520x357.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">John Stanley (left) and Bob Wilkins on the set of ‘Creature Features.’\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Though he’s been retired for quite a while, the 76-year-old writer hasn’t slowed down, continuing to write on a freelance basis. Earlier this year, he mined the wealth of his extensive newspaper career archive to publish a two-volume set of books featuring interviews with more than 70 famous funny men and women, titled \u003cem>The Funniest Comedy Icons of the 20th Century\u003c/em> (BearManor Media).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the books, which provide a look into the bygone world of vintage Hollywood and showbiz, Stanley recounts chats with stars including Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Lucile Ball, Joan Rivers, Woody Allen and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But combing through his notes and interviews, he found a treasure trove of unused anecdotes from celebrities, including many who, despite being some of the most famous people on the planet at the time, were stunningly down-to-earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bob Hope, for example, stands out as a particularly fond memory. Stanley recalls how a publicist brought Stanley to Hope’s front door, introduced the two, and then left, leaving them for a one-on-one talk and lunch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the great moments was when he ran up the stairs [back into the house] and I followed him, and as I walked down the corridor I realized that the walls were covered with photographs of his USO tours,” says Stanley. “Him with generals MacArthur and Eisenhower, with four presidents. Bob then told me this very moving story.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hope recounted a time during World War II in which he had entertained the troops just before a major invasion. Several weeks later he was visiting a military hospital when a few of the patients, wounded soldiers, looked over and remembered him from that particular show. Joyfully, they started chanting the name of the island where the show had taken place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Bob said ‘That was the one and only time I visited a military hospital and I broke down. Tears were running down my face. I had to walk out of the ward; I had never done that. I recomposed myself out in the hallway, turned around, went back in, and acted like nothing had happened.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12265630\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 679px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/Stanley-Skeleton.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12265630\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/Stanley-Skeleton.jpg\" alt=\"John Stanley\" width=\"679\" height=\"1076\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/Stanley-Skeleton.jpg 679w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/Stanley-Skeleton-160x254.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/Stanley-Skeleton-240x380.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/Stanley-Skeleton-375x594.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/Stanley-Skeleton-520x824.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">John Stanley. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of John Stanley)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Another chapter details some of the challenges of dealing with celebrities that didn’t want to conform to the standard interview process. In 1967, Stanley was assigned to interview Woody Allen at the Hungry I in San Francisco’s North Beach — but things didn’t go quite as planned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He steps up to the bar and bluntly, flat-out tells me he does not want to do an interview with me,” remembers Stanley. “But then he says to come back the next night and that he’ll have something for me. In all my years of doing celebrity interviews, I’ve never encountered a moment like this one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Stanley returned the next night, Allen gave him a “manifesto” — which turned into a comedic, rambling article that the journalist brought when he met with his editor the next day. The two discussed it, shrugged their shoulders, and decided to publish it in place of a standard interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the celebrity stories from his \u003cem>Chronicle\u003c/em> career might seem impressive, he’s got a bona fide fan base from his \u003cem>Creature Features\u003c/em> days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Picking up on that fandom, the show’s producers are planning a comeback. On the evening of Saturday, Oct. 29, North Bay TV (a local broadcast station) will air \u003cem>Watch Horror Films, Keep America Strong\u003c/em>, a documentary about the show. It will also premiere a new version of \u003cem>Creature Features\u003c/em>, starring Stanley as a special guest in the first episode.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/mnCFstKR0Dw'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/mnCFstKR0Dw'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>“When those who used to watch \u003cem>Creature Features\u003c/em> see it again, they are suddenly transported back through time — it’s like looking through an old photo album or reliving happy moments from one’s adolescence,” says Stanley of the show’s fans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s amazing. It’s like a corpse that never quite dies,” he says with a laugh, finding the Halloween-appropriate analogy. “It just keeps shambling through another decade of your life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-800x78.jpg\" alt=\"Q.Logo.Break\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12127869\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">John Stanley appears at Alien Con this weekend, Oct. 28 through Oct. 30, at the Santa Clara Convention Center. \u003ca href=\"https://www.thealiencon.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More info and tickets ($45 – $50) here\u003c/a>. \u003c/span>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
