This latest production from the Church of Atheism (I need to do a clever swirly 3D logo some day soon) is all about the Atheist Manifesto - you live once then you die - and how you can't hope to be an atheist horror writer. Unless you're being stalked by your government like Philip K Dick was or drugged by your government like Whitley Strieber was.

Don't say you weren't warned about the danger of organised religion.

not that shameful thing starring (I can't run for toffee - I'm a model, innit) Charleez Theron, Christ no.

I mean this from 1991's LIQUID TELEVISION:

and... well, you get the drift. Any incendiary device that softly morphs into a deep-sea fish before exploding is all right with me. NOTE: artist/director Peter Chung is the guy who set the visual style of the Nickelodeon series RUG RATS before being invited to unleash his soul in Aeon FLux!

The future of horror.
Whenever some writer/director has a new idea that's within cultural tolerance but feeds off some commonly accepted cliché, for example Clive Barker's Books of Blood, we get the establishment coming out of the woodwork to hail this 'genius' the future of horror. It's happening again, with writers who are unworthy of that title being regularly hailed as the future of horror. Let's examine this universal panacea for a moment. The future of horror. What does it actually mean?

Is there a future of horror?
Well, yes, we live it every time our culture changes. Whenever there's a revolution in a country or a new global threat emerges or an asteroid the size of Manhatten hangs over the Earth or whenever climate changes. That's a true horror from the future, it's the horror we can't extrapolate or market with lame-ass blurbs or millions of summer blockbuster dollars on McBurgerKiFnCg deals for the overweight kiddie-lumps. There is no future of horror being written by the current crop of writers, they just can't hack it - reason? They are too embedded in their current society to write anything of true horror worth.
