About this Event

Do you like scary movies? If your answer is YES and you want to gather with fellow SCREAM fans the night before All Hallow’s Eve, then this event is for you. Join entertainment journalist , author of (Plume 2025) and  , author of (Dutton 2025) for an evening full of fright!

Acclaimed Dead Eleven author Jimmy Juliano returns to the early 2000s in his new supernatural thriller 13 MONTHS HAUNTED (Dutton), a twisty, edge-of-your-seat read for everyone looking for a new take on a chilling ghost story. Juliano, a student of the genre, was inspired by the simple premise that in the horror genre, really terrible things happen when someone is left alone. Juliano says, “What if I literalized that concept? What if someone simply cannot be alone, otherwise they will die?” He was off to the races. 

At once nostalgic and eerie, featuring all the highlights from the 2000s—Napster, dial-up internet, the advent of web journaling—13 MONTHS HAUNTED will haunt Juliano’s fans, old and new, long after they finish the last page

“Do you like scary movies?” asks the now-iconic killer of the Scream franchise in one of the most memorable opening scenes in film history – one that challenged everything viewers thought they knew about horror movies. From the very start, Scream redefined the genre and shaped its future for years to come. Now, from entertainment journalist Ashley Cullings comes YOUR FAVORITE SCARY MOVIE: How the SCREAM films rewrote the rules of horror (Plume), the definitive story of the inspiration, creation, and enduring legacy of the popular franchise. 

From the origin of Scream to its genre-breaking decadeslong success, YOUR FAVORITE SCARY MOVIE invites readers to experience the creative journey that redefined horror and created a new generation of movie fans. The book is perfectly timed for spooky season coverage, holiday gift giving, and in the lead-up to the much-anticipated new installment. It’s as humorous and unexpected as the movies themselves, and sure to have fans screaming for more.
