Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, Jason and Chucky — we all know the names.

So who's next?

Jon Gelatt, co-owner of the Rivoli Theatre, in studio talking about the slashers, whether we're making new ones or just living off the life of Freddy Krueger — and the deaths of everyone he kills.

We also preview the fifth annual Schlocktoberfest, which expands to three days this year, with a Friday-night kickoff, Saturday's five-movie horror marathon and a Sunday collection of short films. Saturday's finale is a surprise but Gelatt reveals a few hints. You'll never guess the movie.

In this interview:


Freddy's got competition?: Are horror movies creating the next generation of iconic slashers, or are we stuck with the same old killers?


Killer clowns, robots and silver balls: What makes a great B-horror movie — and why do some of these ridiculous ideas work?


You picked your poison: Schlocktoberfest fans voted to choose four of the five movies in Saturday's marathon. The fifth is a secret.


One last movie in the dark: What's Gelatt willing to reveal about the secret screening — including a special to the Rivoli from the director.


Three-day Schlocktoberfest: If it gets too crazy, they'll have to pull it back like Oktoberfest La Crosse.
