Indie Horror, Buffy Monsters, and Slashers Gone Cosmic with Jon Cohn | ep 22

What happens when indie horror fiction collides with slashers, cosmic dread, board game design, and one of the most terrifying monsters ever put on television?

In this episode of The Night Crew Podcast, horror author and game designer Jon Cohn joins host Brad Ricks for a deep-dive conversation into the art, anxiety, and obsession behind modern horror storytelling.

Jon talks about:

• Growing up on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and why The Gentlemen remain one of the most original horror monsters ever created

• Why Chucky is the most adaptable slasher villain in horror history

• Writing slashers that evolve into cosmic horror nightmares

• Turning folk horror, anxiety, and OCD into powerful storytelling fuel

• Why finishing the thing is the most important advice for aspiring writers

• The indie horror community, conventions, and why they feel like family

• His upcoming novel Creed Falls Massacres—where two different horror apocalypses collide in one small town
