#13: Lights Out (July 1991)

Based on the cover?

Yes!  I love Holly's outfit.

The plot:

There's a killer on the loose at Camp Nightwing, and it's doing nothing for Holly's social life.  The other counselors are just so mean, especially whichever one's trying to kill her.  Is Holly doomed to unpopularity and death, or will she solve the mystery and have a fun summer?

Typical quote:

"Paddling down the White River, Holly wondered how she had managed to make so many enemies in such a short time."

Worth reading?

Yes!  This book is a delightful glug of haterade, made all the more palatable by the fact that Holly's naysayers might get murdered.  It's YA, so the body count is much lower than might be expected from a Friday the 13th homage, but the violent scenes it does contain are New Blood-levels of gruesome.  Not big on twists, of course--they reveal the killer's (ridiculous) motive in the first chapter.  Still, Stine has a lot of fun with the whodunit.  We know the killer writes letters, and so throughout the book, Stine ominously reveals that each character has been writing a whole lot of letters.  Which letter-writer is it?  Wouldn't Holly like to know!

A short list of the book's central assumptions and conceits:

Teenagers are arbitrarily cruel and will target someone for bullying without having much of a reason.

If your brother dies while at camp, it makes sense, as revenge, to terrorize and murder anyone affiliated with said camp.

One good reason to shut down a camp is that its hiring process for counselors does not successfully weed out serial murderers.

Killers love to leave calling cards, and police love to ignore them.  It was probably just an accident!  Get back to work, counselors!

The twist:

The way it's set up, it could be any of the guys.  Pick one.  (It's the rich one.)

Epilogorrhea:

"You've changed, Holly.  I think you're catching on to this place."

"Yes, I think I am," Holly agreed.  "And I think from now on I'm going to like it here."

"Me too," Mick said quietly.  He put his arms around her, and they wandered happily up the path to their cabins.

The camp gets shut down, obviously.  Like, I don't think most camps escape the stigma of a serial murderer.

Holly's fine with this, since she at least showed up all those stuck-up jerks who were mean to her.

Tom McCaffrey stand-up set — May 2012

[boriskhaykin]

This throwback is on the font page of FunnyOrDie all of a sudden. It's from 2010 and was initially an Atom.com exclusive, a site that no longer exists, and aired on Comedy Central's Atom TV. My involvement is actually less minimal than it seems; I wrote/produced the music to this (with finishing touches, mix/master, by Andy Barlow) in addition to my singing of the hook.

It was cool to work with all these peeps (Rob Cantrell, Tom McCaffrey, Joe DeRosa, Hannibal Buress, Ted Alexandro, Dan Curry) since at the time I was but a year or so into stand up. I remember running out of work to film this during my lunch breaks. There's definitely some embarrassing irony in me singing the "I'm a Headliner" part, but let's just consider it foreshadowing?
