#326 The Last Laugh with Peter Cameron

This week, we're running a takeover in collaboration with Peter Cameron, an Emmy-nominated screenwriter and supernatural enthusiast whose credits include WandaVision, Moon Knight, Werewolf by Night, and Agatha All Along (all on Disney+). This contest’s winner will not only be awarded $250 — they’ll also receive personal feedback from Peter himself! Here's what he has to say about his takeover:

In horror, something must go wrong or fall apart. The tension is in the unspooling: those unexpected elements we encounter in the erosion of characters' worlds. But if horror is the eldest daughter of the genre family, comedy is her chaotic younger brother. Both live for those moments where everything spirals, and when things go off the rails, that’s where horror screams and comedy laughs.

This week, let's explore this strange borderland where fear meets farce. Think Shirley Jackson’s The Lottery, or a more recent tonal tightrope walk such as Grady Hendrix’s Horrorstör. Let the unexpected lead to terror, mirth, or both — 'tis the season, after all!
