Castle Talk: Matt Serafini, Author of Scared to Death, and Why There's a 2022 Novelization of a 1980 Film

Episode | 26 min | Feb 24, 2022
Tonight we’re chatting with Matt Serafini, the author of the new book Scared to Death from Encyclopocalypse, and what’s fascinating here is that this book is a novelization for a movie that came out in 1980.
Hailed as "one of the best new voices in genre fiction" by horror grandmaster Brian Keene, Matt Serafini's books include RITES OF EXTINCTION, FERAL, and UNDER THE BLADE, which Fangoria called "one of the best slasher films you'll ever read." His short fiction has appeared in numerous anthology collections and he is a screenwriter with his work making its way through the various stages of the long and arduous development process. His nonfiction has appeared in the pages of Fangoria and HorrorHound. Find him at mattserafini.com and on Twitter at @Mattfini.
