Horror Vanguard

Halloween is a time for treats, yet, but let us never forget how moving a ghoulish trick can be....

Join your ghosts, I mean hosts, and Workers' Lit to discuss the rapture, the politics of the eschaton, and a little movie or novel series or another movie called The Left Behind.

Boo!

We're joined by Alex Skopic of Current Affairs Magazine to discuss the viral creepypasta and now major motion picture: Backrooms. Step in, get lost, discuss the cultural implications of a world increasingly indifferentiable from a long-closed retail store in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

We're hosting a worker appreciation pizza party in the backrooms. More info at: @horrorvangaurd on Instagram and bsky

Owing in no small part to histories of national character, a one from American and another from the UK find themselves drawn out to sea in their search for meaning and home. Oh, what we'd trade for several chapters on cetology.

The new home for Horror Vanguard just might be the past, or, rather, how our present desires shape and mediate what comes to pass as a "past." In any event, is that the Left Page's music I hear?

Your (g)hosts continue their quest to uncover the new home of Horror Vanguard. However, this leg of the journey unravels as a computer glitch renders the Bug half of the discussion unusable; for now. Unexpectedly akin to a certain truck fused together like a certain literary monster like certain gendered bodies, this show is also a thing made of its own dissolution, at times.

Enjoy, won't we.

Perhaps the new home for Horror Vanguard awaits overseas where the trains run on steam, the jackbooted thugs are nondescript by studio mandate, and where Cricket is a game for men who love each other.
