Synopsis

A coming-of-age, coming-out cocktail with a twist of terror. Thirteen-year-old Franklin Robertson is trying to survive adolescence. His parents don’t understand him, his brother torments him, he has no friends, and he’s more interested in the high school quarterback than any girl. The one bright spot in his life is the glow of the black-and-white TV in his parents’ basement. Here, he worships at the altar of the Saturday Night Horror Movie, hosted by the eerie Dr. Cerberus. Before long, Franklin is convinced that only by going on the show will his life be redeemed - by Dr. Cerberus himself!

DYING... Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is the ONLY living writer who understands camp... anyway maybe I do need to watch Riverdale? (The footnotes about checking the copyright on the specified songs take on an especial significance if you know about Archie's Weird Fantasy)......more
