The Last Drive-In w/ @therealjoebob123.bsky.social & @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social S7 W8: 👍

Movie 1: Mute Witness - 3rd time watch. Very good movie.
Movie 2: The Final Terror - 4th time watch. I don't completely understand it, but it is getting better.

Great info. Great banter. Great guest.

I just received Joe Bob’s new book in the mail, and if y’all are fans, I highly recommend. The art was done by a mutant on here and it’s got a lot of good info, such as All-Time Greatest Drive-in Movies and annual ‘Best of’ selections for those golden years of 1982-1984

After reading The Ceremonies, you're disappointed that, supposedly, Klein hates writing as much as Thomas Harris; unfortunately, for us, Klein realized it after his first novel, but I digress. You should still read the book, it's one of the best horror novels of the 80s.

Little do they know, but Freirs and Carol's meeting was not by chance, but set up by a mysterious old man, Mr. Rosebottom. The Ceremonies is an intriguing novel, and after you finish you'll be left wondering why Klein only wrote the one.

The Ceremonies was expanded from a 1972 short story 'The Events at Poroth Farm'. The novel follows Jeremy Freirs, a college professor that rents a room from Sarr Poroth, a member a strict religious community. Prior to leaving NY city, Freirs met Carol, a virginal librarian.

The book featured on the #MutantBookClub this week, is the only novel by writer T. E. D. Klein, and it's a hell of a novel. I speak of The Ceremonies, his 1984 horror novel. #MutantFam

Big glove-clawed thanks to our Fear Fest guest host Carl/ @carlofcthulhu.bsky.social for keeping the dream alive (and the nightmares rolling)! You brought killer insights, wicked humor, and pure mutant energy to Elm Street.

Sleep is overrated anyway. ☕💀 #MutantFam #TheLastDriveIn #FearFest
