Note: “How about Ryan Torres finding the reader 💅👌 herself in the backrooms? Idk man😭 I'm just a Ryan Torres simp.” (“Break room” and not, like, “The Backrooms,” right?)

Imagine Ryan finding you touching yourself in the back room.

Ooh, she meant polishing her pearl, not her nails.

Ryan smiled. Trent Reznor’s crooning had you enthralled. He had been planning to prank Heather, but this’d be more amusing. Besides, her tolerance for his antics wasn’t as high as yours.

Song’s seven minutes. Better get moving if you want her to finish before “Closer.”

No glove, no love, Ryan remembered as he headed back to gather some fun things.

You looked up, parted mouth quickly shutting when you noticed the door was ajar. You unstuck your back and bare rump from the wall. As well as your middle finger from your clit. Slick was running down your leg, you were so horny.

The door had not only been shut, but locked, while Ryan closed up. Your excuse would be he liked to pull pranks and you didn’t like being startled while painting nails. Five down, five more to go. It took some self control not to grip your bare thigh when jillin’ it.

You were about to use your sticky hand to pull your under-wear up, then nudge the door closed. But the approaching climaxes couldn’t be ignored. Your finger found its way back to your clit, then you stepped forward.

Just before the door swung shut completely, a skeletal hand shot out. No, a black glove with white bones. Some poor trapped mall goth looking for an exit?

Skirt, panties, and tights pooled around your ankles. No time to pull ‘em up. A leering skull entered next, sockets hollow yet seeming to catch a glimpse of your vulva, before your painted hand covered it.

You want a finger, ______? Or a tongue? Ryan wanted to ask, but the intruding spirit inside him was too eager to continue encroaching. His host's coworker was dripping ready.

Say Cheese and Die

Like a skeleton at a barbeque, I rise from the dead to bring you a truly iconic Goosebumps entry: Say Cheese and Die.

So, a few of things about this one. First, it has the best title of any book ever published. Second, it has the best cover of any book ever published. (The Jacobus cover, that is, not the new one.) Third, the main character was played in the TV episode and also in my brain by a young Ryan Gosling with bad hair.

This is a story about cameras and about how cameras are very scary, or would be if they caused people to disappear. It starts with a group of friends sneaking into an old, abandoned house, a time-honored kid pastime that only occasionally results in evil cameras. Now, the thing about this house is that it’s not actually empty; a homeless man named Spidey lives there, which to their minds only makes the house spookier. (Spoiler alert: there’s no Home Alone 2-esque plot twist revealing that Spidey is actually a nice, not-scary guy.)

The camera they find in Spidey’s basement is, in the show, an obscenely large and clunky prop that doesn’t look like a camera at all. It looks like if a toaster achieved its lifelong dream of becoming a spaceship, but didn’t achieve it super well. It has dragon ears, you know, the sort of ears that would be on a dragon? And weird stubby wings with lights on the end, the purpose of which is inconceivable to the human mind. It’s absurdly top heavy and you have to hold it in the least comfortable way an object could possibly be held. In the book it doesn’t say it looks like all that, but it also doesn’t say it doesn’t; I recommend imagining it that way because it’s much funnier.

When protagonist Greg (post-Mickey Mouse Club, pre-abs) takes pictures with this goofy-ass camera, the pictures come out wrong: This photo shows his friend Michael falling over a railing, but Michael didn’t fall until after the picture was taken. That one shows his family’s shiny new car all busted up. When the family takes the car for a spin despite Greg’s objections, Greg’s dad drives like an absolute lunatic and almost gets his entire family killed, so you honestly don’t have to be an evil camera to predict that car’s days are numbered. Sure enough, it’s totaled within days. The man should have his license revoked.

It feels like R.L. Stine kind of runs out of plot right about here, so he just has Greg (future Oscar loser) run around taking pictures even though he already suspects the camera is causing bad things to happen. He also dreams about taking pictures—this is where the skeleton barbecue scene comes from, because much like a skeleton, Robert didn’t have the guts to put it in the actual story. Haha.

Things come to a head, finally, when Greg’s friend Shari peer-pressures him into taking a picture of her with the camera, and it causes her to disappear. She’s gone for two days, and her parents are terrified; this is the only truly harrowing part of this book. She reappears when Greg rips up the picture he took of her. Then Spidey materializes to provide some action and chases them, because the thesis of this book is that cameras are scary but unhoused people are even scarier.

For some reason this, not his dad almost dying like ten photographs ago, is the breaking point, and Greg (one of the white guys in Remember the Titans) and Shari decide to return the camera to the scary house, instead of just, I don’t know, handing it to Spidey the next time they see him. Greg even insists on taking it down to the basement, for plot reasons. Here they’re confronted by Spidey, who reveals his bananas backstory: He was once a scientist, and his lab partner invented the camera, which was at that point I guess just a normal camera that somehow “would have made him a fortune.” Spidey stole it, so the lab partner, who was a part-time evil wizard, placed a curse on it so that it would steal people’s souls. God, science is cool.

Spidey wants to keep Greg (soon to be Sandra Bullock’s boyfriend) and Shari in his basement forever so they can’t tell anyone about the camera, but before he can do so, Shari accidentally takes a picture of him, which kills the man. Greg (soon to be Sandra Bullock’s ex-boyfriend) posits that he died of fright. This is a patently wild choice on Mr. Stine’s part. There’s is a supernaturally evil camera that can (or so Spidey says) kill people, but the one person who dies in the whole book just drops dead of his own accord because the very idea of the camera is so extremely scary that his heart gives out or whatever. I don’t even know what to say.

Obviously the main thing about this book is that it’s shot through with anxiety over unhoused people—not concern for their wellbeing but unease over their physical existence. In popular culture, these people are portrayed as either frightening and gross or, at best, sort of magical, and R.L. Stine managed to do both here. The one moment when you might feel bad for him—when he reveals that he was cursed by a scientist/wizard and desperately wants to keep the camera from hurting anyone—is immediately undercut by his attempting to kidnap two children. Thus Spidey is both extra scary and extra pathetic, and you’re meant to believe that he’s homeless because he deserves to be, because housing is a privilege to be revoked and not a necessity hoarded by the rich, and that his death was perhaps unfortunate but mostly inevitable.

At the beginning of the book, Greg comments that the house Spidey is living in “looks like a haunted house,” which it fitting, because neither the narrative nor Spidey’s neighbors treat him as if he’s a person with a physical form and needs. “I’ve seen that guy around the neighborhood,” comments Greg’s neighbor, making it clear that he thinks of Spidey not as a member of the community but as an entity floating around a place he’s not quite meant to be. This mindset is the reason the kids never consider the morality of breaking into a place where they know someone is living and going through their stuff—the idea of Spidey having or deserving privacy doesn’t even cross their minds. But unhoused people aren’t ghosts, they aren’t hauntings, and they aren’t cartoon villains or inconveniences to be solved: they’re people who live in the same city or town or suburb you do.

If the scary camera represents the fear of being seen, of thinking of yourself one way only for others to see something different, even monstrous, it actually makes sense that Spidey is so terrified of it. When people aren’t staring at them—again, part of being so their being so relentlessly dehumanized is the lack of respect for their privacy—they’re averting their gaze. Kayla Robbins writes that the lack of direct eye contact makes unhoused people “begin to feel as if they were ghosts watching the world but not able to fully participate in it…ignored, dehumanized, and invisible.” Like Spidey, they’re rarely looked at directly, only through lenses—both metaphorical and literal—that work to remove their personhood.

I’m just saying, if Spidey had been given stable housing, he probably would have been able to hide the camera in a better place than the basement of an abandoned, unlocked house. It would have been better for him and for the kids, because then they never would have used the camera. To be clear, though, they also could have avoided using the camera by not robbing people. Honestly, they’re the real villains of this book.

Cover: It’s the best of all time. I want these skeletons to adopt me and then cook me a black bean burger, in that order. 100/5

Scare factor: I can’t even remember the scares because I got so worked up about how Spidey’s character was treated. The skeleton barbeque is decidedly unscary because it rules. The camera is only a little creepy. 1/5

Human decency: I hate these children and I think the evil camera should steal all their souls. 0/5

Crestfallen Dusk—S/T (Moonlight Cypress Archetypes)

Crestfallen Dusk by Crestfallen Dusk

Given the state of contemporary culture, a project fusing black metal with traditional blues is likely not the most hare-brained musical idea you’ve heard this year, let alone this week. Depending on how broadly you define “traditional blues,” Crestfallen Dusk’s sonic venture might not even sound all that original to you. But when speaking of landscapes as diverse (ecologically, ethnologically, geologically) as the Appalachian and Delta regions in which blues thrived, locality makes a real difference, and it’s best to work in specifics. Ryan Clackner, driving intelligence and talent of Crestfallen Dusk, takes locality quite seriously. Some of Clackner’s other bands focus on the folklore of the Blue Ridge Mountains (Primeval Well) and of Western Tennessee (Vile Haint). Crestfallen Dusk drifts farther south, to Mississippi’s deep well of blues, which is possessed of its own singular strangeness. Stranger still, perhaps, this is a very good record.

It may not be so surprising that black metal and Appalachian blues are such a generative match. The first cut on Crestfallen Dusk is titled “Beneath the Cool, Calm Soil”; we might note that the Scandi second-wave bands that provided the long-running model for how black metal should sound were significantly invested in place and soil. For some of those bands and their problematic progeny, those emphases cultivated a noxious “blood and soil” political sensibility. If this reviewer is hearing Crestfallen Dusk with the right set of ears, Clackner and his bandmates Zac Ormerod (who contributed lyrics) and Sean Meyers (who drums) are interested in the experiences and expressiveness of all the folks who have walked the southern dirt. Clackner has credited R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough as principal influences on the guitar style of Crestfallen Dusk. The playing sounds as laudatory as it is innovative.

“Fuse,” as used above, might overstate. On two long, back-to-back tracks, “The Blackness Come Creepin’ In” and “Burn in Hell,” Clackner’s blues-influenced playing is quite prominent, but those portions of the songs alternate with scorching runs of metallic intensity. The modes dance with each other, by turns exchanging moves and staring each other down. The resulting songs are quite effective—but neither matches the transporting weirdness of album closer “My Clouds Have Not a Silver Lining” (great title), which is a sort of deconstruction of song-forms generally. Its disorienting passages of collapse and tangle somehow tap into the blues, that music’s expressions of suffering and impulses toward disorderly conduct. The song is far and away the most compelling thing on Crestfallen Dusk, which may in turn be a suggestion for Clackner’s idiosyncratic talent. He’s best when he lets himself be most himself.

Friday Releases for October 13

Friday is the busiest day of the week for new releases, so we've decided to collect them all in one place. Friday Releases for October 13 include And Then You Pray For Me, nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana, the rest, and more.

Anatomy of a Fall

Anatomy of a Fall, the new movie from Justine Triet, is out today.

For the past year, Sandra, her husband Samuel, and their eleven-year-old son Daniel have lived a secluded life in a remote town in the French Alps. When Samuel is found dead in the snow below their chalet, the police question whether he was murdered or committed suicide. Samuel’s suspicious death is presumed murder, and Sandra becomes the main suspect. What follows is not just an investigation into the circumstances of Samuel’s death but an unsettling psychological journey into the depths of Sandra and Samuel’s conflicted relationship.

What Happens Later

What Happens Later, the new movie from Meg Ryan, is out today.

Two ex lovers, Bill (David Duchovny) and Willa (Meg Ryan) get snowed in at a regional airport overnight. Indefinitely delayed, Willa, a magical thinker, and Bill, a catastrophic one, find themselves just as attracted to and annoyed by one another as they did decades earlier. But as they unpack the riddle of their mutual past and compare their lives to the dreams they once shared, they begin to wonder if their reunion is mere coincidence, or something more enchanted.

The Conference

The Conference, the new movie from Patrik Eklund, is out today.

What begins as team-building fun, descends into a nightmare as a mysterious masked killer begins stalking and picking off the participants one by one.

Goosebumps

Goosebumps, the new TV series from Rob Letterman and Nicholas Stoller, is out today.

Inspired by R.L. Stine’s worldwide bestselling book series, “Goosebumps” follows a group of five high schoolers as they embark on a shadowy and twisted journey to investigate the tragic passing three decades earlier of a teen named Harold Biddle – while also unearthing dark secrets from their parents’ past.

Lessons in Chemistry

Lessons in Chemistry, the new TV series from Lee Eisenberg, is out today.

Set in the early 1950s, Lessons in Chemistry follows Elizabeth Zott, whose dream of being a scientist is put on hold in a patriarchal society. When Elizabeth finds herself fired from her lab, she accepts a job as a host on a TV cooking show, and sets out to teach a nation of overlooked housewives — and the men who are suddenly listening — a lot more than recipes.

Suburban Screams

Suburban Screams, the new TV series from John Carpenter, Jordan Roberts, Michelle Latimer, and Jan Pavlacky, is out today.

John Carpenter’s Suburban Screams is a genre-busting unscripted horror anthology series from the mind of legendary director, writer, and producer, John Carpenter. The series explores the dark secrets and unspeakable evil that sometimes lurks beneath the surface of the sun-drenched streets, manicured lawns and friendly neighbors of suburbia.

Frasier

Frasier, the new TV series from Chris Harris and Joe Cristalli, is out today.

Same Frasier. New skyline. The new series follows Dr. Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) in the next chapter of his life as he returns to Boston with new challenges to face, new relationships to forge, and an old dream or two to finally fulfill.

Shining Vale S2

The second season of Shining Vale, the TV series from Jeff Astrof and Sharon Horgan, is out today.

Pat and Terry Phelps move from a cramped Brooklyn apartment to an old mansion in Connecticut, in order to save their marriage after Pat’s affair. The teenage kids are pissed, and Terry’s attempts to rally the family fall flat. The house seemed like a steal at $250K below asking, but when the former owner of the house—who died there—appears to Pat, Pat wonders if she’s depressed… or possessed.
