A Spooky Interview with Kevin M. Folliard

Samhain Screams will be released on the 17th of October—but the Kindle version is available for pre-order today at just $1.99 instead of $3.99. You can also add the anthology to your Goodreads list. Our aim is quite simply to make Halloween 2025 the spookiest ever with this anthology featuring twenty scary tales handpicked by Greg Chapman and Cameron Trost. Do you dare peek into the troubled minds of our contributing authors?

Hi Kevin,

What does Halloween mean to you and how do you celebrate it?
 

October is a big month for my partner and I. We have costume parties with friends and do our best to cram in as many scary movies as possible. My favorite tradition is attending Chicago’s 24-hour Music Box of Horrors movie marathon with my friends.
 
Without giving too much away, is there a story behind your contribution to this anthology?

 
Every October, I aim to draft at least one new Halloween story. Vengeance of Halloween (VoH) is my good-natured jab at the glut of delightful Halloween pop-ups that spring up like clockwork every August. It's also an homage to some of my favorite horror films such as Halloween III: Season of the Witch and the Universal Monsters.
 
Would you share something about yourself that your readers don’t know yet?
 
I love to travel, and I’ve been to all 50 U.S. states!
 
What are you working on at the moment? What are you writing?
 
I’m a big dinosaur fan, and I have a number of dinosaur sci-fi adventure stories set in a shared world called New Pangea. You can find some of these stories as singles, included in various sci-fi anthologies, but I’m currently in the process of collecting them all together in an anthology titled Tales from New Pangea, which should be available in 2026.
