남쪽계단

브람 스토커 어워드 후보작이 발표되었더군요. 홈페이지에는 아직 올라오지 않은 듯. 수상자는 올해 6월 25일 Burbank, California에서 열리는 Horror Writers of America Annual Conference에서 발표된답니다.

호러는 딱히 취미가 아닌지라 뭐라 말하긴 어렵네요. 스티븐 킹이나 딘 쿤츠 같은 익숙한 이름을 빼놓고 나면 딱히 아는 양반들이 없기도 하고. 사실은 SCREENPLAY 분야가 재미있었습니다. 좀비 영화가 두 편([Dawn of the Dead], [Shaun of the Dead])인 건 그렇다고 치는 데, [Hellboy]에 [Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind](?)라. 호러 쪽이라고 생각하고 보진 않았었는 데, 지금 생각해보니 그렇게 볼 수도 있겠구나라는 생각이 들더군요.
