This week on Behind the Slate, Jules and Devon crack open Michael Donovan Horn’s Bone Face, a chilling slasher script that drags us deep into the woods of Camp Marigold. What starts as a farewell party for a counselor spirals into blood-soaked terror when the urban legend of Bone Face steps out of the shadows.

We break down what makes this script tick, from its classic slasher DNA to its clever twists that keep audiences guessing who’s really behind the mask. Along the way, we discuss the legacy of campfire horror, the balance between homage and originality, and why the final act subverts the slasher formula.
