The October Film Haunt

A Novel

De: Michael Wehunt

Narrado por: Tim Lounibos, Zura Johnson

Horror Movie meets the scope and emotion of Stephen King in this heart-pounding, magnetic tour de force novel, destined to become an instant classic, about a woman pulled into a cult horror film that is determined to have a sequel, by critically acclaimed author Michael Wehunt. This program features light sound design throughout.

Ten years ago, Jorie Stroud was the rising star of the October Film Haunt – a trio of horror enthusiasts who camped out at the filming locations of their favorite scary movies, sharing their love through their popular blog. But after a night in the graveyard from Proof of Demons – perhaps the most chilling cult film ever made, directed by the enigmatic Hélène Enriquez – everything unraveled.

Now, Jorie has built an isolated life with her young son in Vermont. In the devastating wake of her viral, truth-stretching Proof of Demons blog entry — hysteria, internet backlash, and the death of a young woman — Jorie has put it all, along with her intense love for the horror genre, behind her.

Until a videotape arrives in the mail. Jorie fears someone might be filming her. And the “Rickies” – Enriquez obsessives who would do anything for the reclusive director – begin to cross lines in shocking ways. It seems Hélène Enriquez is making a new kind of sequel…and Jorie is her final girl.

As the dangers grow even more unexpected and strange, Jorie must search for answers before the Proof of the movie’s title finds her and takes everything she loves.

This riveting and layered horror novel unleashes supernatural terror in a world where truth can be manipulated, and nothing is as it seems. Beautiful and horrifying, with an unforgettable cast of characters, The October Film Haunt will shock and delight readers all the way to its breathless final page.

"So unique and steeped in 21st century paranoia and dread you won't be able to read this alone at night." —Paul Tremblay

"The horror in here is palpable, but the writing itself is just as scary: How can one pen have this many good lines in it?" -Stephen Graham Jones

A meta horror masterpiece

Every scare, every sentence, every reference was perfectly terrifying. A meta horror masterpiece that will haunt me for a long, long time.

Wehunt is the real deal.

The good: this is creepy and well written. The beginning especially is fantastic. Wehunt has done what a lot of authors have attempted--made a description of a cult horror movie that is actively scary.

The bad: The male narrator is terrible. And the last third of the book is nearly unlistenable due to some absolutely execrable production choices.

it was ok

a bit disappointing. there was some hype about this book in the online horror community, so I trusted their take on it. it started out great but devolved into some weird meta crap towards the end. if you like that kind of thing, go for it, this book is for you. i couldn't wait for it to end already to be honest. narration was really good and the special sounds were super spooky and made my heart stop a couple times. other than that, it was just ok.

Fun Story, Awful Male Narration

Like the title says. I enjoyed the story, it was a fun mystery with some paranormal flavor. The woman narrator was great. The male narrator was God awful and just plain annoying.

Excellent Narration

The narrators blew me away with their incredible performances.
I really enjoyed the story.
Highly recommended!

Disappointed

Scary to start but gets overwhelmed by the metaphors and fails to deliver a coherent and satisfying back half. I also hated the male voice. Sounds like Kevin from the office trying to sound scary.
