Okay, you guys ready? Let's kick off Day 4 of the 2013 Blogger Book Fair with the author of Creep, Cole Knightly!
Here's the preview: Freddy cutouts need love too, eventual gore, cool Sidney Prescott, and the big-boobed ditz.
1. Who is your favorite horror or science fiction movie
heroine?
Horror would have to be Sidney Prescott from the Scream
series. For science fiction, it would have to be Ellen Ripley from the Alien
series. I do have to say, though, that Alice from the Resident Evil series is
also pretty high up there for me, too. (Would that be horror or Sci Fi?)
2. What is your favorite line in a horror or science fiction
movie?
“I want to play a game.” Saw. Chilling.
3. Let’s talk gore. How much do you use, buckets full or
thimbles full, and why?
Well, I love gore and don’t mind it, but I don’t tend to use
a lot of it. I’m still fairly new to writing in this genre (though I’ve always
been a reader and watcher since childhood), so I’m sure it’ll happen
eventually.
4. If you were thrown into a horror movie and you had to
fully experience the entire movie as one of the good guys (and possibly a
victim), which movie would you choose, and why?
Ooh, this one’s hard. I would probably choose Battle Royale.
On the other hand, if I could choose a horror video game instead, I’d choose
Corpse Party or Silent Hill.
5. What’s your most hated formulaic move of horror movie
victims?
Ugh, I hate the slutty, big-boobed ditz who runs around
half-naked or topless. She tends to be the one who screams more than anyone
else and often trips while fleeing from the killer. It’s just so annoying.
6. If you could (had to) make out with any horror movie
monster (serial killers included), which would it be and why?
Freddy Krueger. When I was really young, I’m talking like
four or five years old, I would run up to Freddy cutouts and hug them. I can
only imagine the looks on other people’s faces, but he was my favourite
monster, and I’d totally make out with him. Hehehe.
7. Do you think horror in literature has
the same impact as horror in film?
Unfortunately, no. And it’s so very sad because I wish that
it did. I’m not sure if it’s because jump scares just don’t translate in literature
or what it is. I’ve yet to find a book that creeps me out enough to be afraid
of the dark, but I can list off several movies pretty easily. I’m still looking
for the book that messes with me, though.
8. Tell us about the most violent movie you’ve ever seen.
How old were you, and did you enjoy it?
I think the Saw movies were the most violent, but I was
watching Nightmare on Elm Street when I was an infant. While not the goriest
movie I’ve ever seen, I was pretty much raised on horror movies.
9. If you found yourself in a horror movie and got to choose
your weapon not knowing who or what you were up against, what weapon would you
choose?
Is very powerful magic out of the question? Haha, if it had
to be a real weapon, I suppose a tank would be a good bet. Though it wouldn’t
help me against anything supernatural.
10. As a horror writer, do you find that you’re wary of
strangers?
I don’t think that’s because I’m a horror writer
necessarily, but I suppose it could contribute.
Okay, in one word describe your latest release, and toss us that
Amazon link already!
Creepy! Haha, it’s called Creep, so I should it could be
described that way, right?
