Robert P. Ottone returns (3)

from Horror from the High Desert

Bram Stoker Award-winning author Robert P. Ottone ("Tear Me Open: Fears Unwrapped," "The Vile Thing We Created") returns, this time to discuss his upcoming novel "Amityville Awakens" (October 6, CLASH Books). He and Scotty talk about their relationship to Amityville iconography, their thoughts on the original 1978 movie, incorporating the larger Amityville community into the book, balancing light and nihilism in horror, why Scotty doesn't like Brian de Palma or Stanley Kubrick, and more.
