Horror in Frame: A Conversation with Jake Jarvi (Haunt Season)

Three years ago, I wrote a piece for Flood detailing the Slasher Renaissance. I never expected how much the subgenre would balloon out since then. Today, slashers are all the rage! And you can count Jake Jarvi’s Haunt Season (review) as one of the standouts from the current wave of hack ‘n slash bloodfests. Over a recent Zoom call, Jarvi discussed the slasher craze, streaming impact on indie filmmakers, how he’s conquering holidays in his films, his popular Nightmarathon YouTube series (and if it will ever come back), and what his next slasher has in store.
