Putting your face out there when the video is about how the internet doesn't treat people as people is a nice choice.

Sean is the epitome of middle-management, holy shit.
āWhen Karen becomes the manager:ā

Itās deeply ironic that a guy who runs a company dedicated to preserving art history would go out of his way to attempt to bury the work of an independent creator.
What heās doing is in the same vein as the rights holders who burned silent movies. Itās vindictive, itās cynical, and itās pathetic.
Artists should support each other, and uplift each other.

This was fascinating and horrible and I had no idea about any of it. Thanks for making this and sticking up for this dude!

I think the main takeaway i've had from the video so far, is how deeply petty and vindictive people can be, over things which concern them in no way whatsoever. I hope Sean is happy hiding behind his mother's apron, and I hope Jake keeps writing and receives more praise.

Also, let's not forget when John Krasinski completely ripped off Tim Lebbon's novel The Silence for A Quiet Place. Asked why he didn't sue, Lebbon said he just doesn't have the money to take on a massive corporation.

...also, I have to admit that I'd love to read Jake's work. When I saw Halloween 5 first run, I thought it was such a mess. I'd love to know how Jake rearranged the mess.

Hey, Ma! I'm famous!
Hi, everyone. I'm B.C. Howard, the author that Zane referenced near the end. Even though I'm a small part of this whole drama, I just wanna thank you Zane for this amazing video. You did justice to B. R. Yeager, Sam Richard, and, most importantly, Jake Martin.
My comments that Zane made reference to are, well, not nearly as eloquent as he has already made here, but on my part:
I would understand if this was somebody trying to profit off of a smaller artist, but it's not. It's a fan project for a huge movie franchise. Particularly, a franchise that, while I love, has been unkind to the creatives who made it what it is. Do we really think it's unethical that smaller creatives will make fanart, zines, and even unauthorized merch out of these franchises? That they will hurt the corporations that own the IP? The answer is no. It's always been no, and people like Sean who think otherwise are wrong.
I am an aspiring writer myself. I doubt I'll ever get as big as Halloween. If I do, I expect unauthorized merch, fan projects, zines, etc., to be made. And you know what? I'm gonna support it. I'm gonna encourage it, because I know it's not about stealing from my labor but showing appreciation from creative people who are getting their start by making a passion project for the things that inspired them.
That is why Jake Martin created his novelization--Love for the Halloween films. And my hurt breaks for him and what he has been through. I can only hope that this video inspires more support for him. I also hope that it leads folks to reevaluate the situation if they think this was somehow a violation of creator rights, because it really isn't.
Thank you, Zane. You are one of my favorite Youtubers. You are brilliant, passionate, and supportive. I'm honored to be referenced, even briefly, in one of your videos.

what warmed my heart is that Jake wrote with his father. that's the kind of relationship i want with my dad

God these people sound awful.
Is there really no way to read Jake's novel anymore? Sounds right up my alley and I'd gladly pay for it
238 |
This is just plain bullying. If thereās any way, I would love to buy and read Jakeās novel.

You know, there have been times where Iāve watched films like Carrie, and I find myself scoffing. The bullying seems almost cartoonish, and so far removed from my own experiences in High School, itās hard for me to imagine people behaving in that sort of way. But then I see something like this, and Iām reminded. The same kind of people who used to dump pig blood on Carrie Whiteās head on Prom Night have just moved on to harassing random strangers online. And weāve all been through that.

It's quite ironic that Sean has now left twitter after claiming his name was "dragged through the mud," simply because someone shed a light on his actions and allowed Jake to give his side of the story. Some people can dish it out, but they can't take it.

Jake if you are reading this - please do not give up on following your passions, you have supporters! We are on your side and believe in you

hey zane, if you're still in touch with jake you should let him know that Sean doesn't have as much power in the publishing world as he thinks. He should keep going, and submit to everyone he can

Hats off to you for making me sit through a 45 mins video on Twitter drama and coming out feeling smarter for it.

I'm a huge fan of Horror Geek and am very disappointed by that tweet. Thanks for this.

Petty little tyrants lording over their imagined fiefdoms. Just as bloodthirsty as the real thing

Wow. Not what I was expecting. I was not aware of this book at all and assumed it was released at the time of the movie. Like it was some avant garde reimagining, and that was the controversy.
This is much more depressing but still fascinating to learn about. I wish the author well.

FOLLOW UP Hey all! Thanks for watching the video, it means a ton to me. Jake has written the following and asked if I could pin it here so that anyone who sees the video can read this as a final response to everything that happened. Thanks again, and hope you are doing well: Hey, everyone, Today, I was taken aback when I received an email from Sean Duregger, filled with fervent apologies for his abhorrent social media conduct regarding the publication of my novelization for "Halloween 5". I have decided to accept his apology. Let's delve into the crux of the matter: Sean's actions were venomous, callous, and downright cruel. It's disheartening to witness such behavior within the horror community, particularly given the unwarranted criticism we already face from those who fail to comprehend our passion. Instead of tearing each other down, we should strive to support and uplift one another. Did the video accomplish anything positive? Or did it merely contribute to the cycle of retaliation? While I believe that the video is important, and got my voice out there, unfortunately, I believe it did the latter to some degree. I must commend Zane for the immense effort he put into creating that video, and I take pride in standing up for myself, and I will stand behind the content of the video. After all, I signed off on it. Nevertheless, we cannot ignore the negative repercussions of our actions. Following Zane's video, some of my supporters went overboard. Frankly speaking, they went a bit crazy. A few even resorted to sending Sean death threats, which is utterly inexcusable. This kind of response was never my intention, and I am deeply disappointed and disturbed by it. I must admit that I harbored some vindictive feelings and desired to make my voice heard. However, the purpose of the video was to address bullying, not to incite more of it. The video did serve its intended purpose by providing me with a platform to express myself. I want to clarify that I am not an anti-copyright crusader; I am merely a fan who aspired to publish a book. Granted, I approached the publication process in the wrong way, but I never anticipated being subjected to bullying. I also never expected that those who support my work would respond with acts of bullying. We are adults. We need to act like it. Since this incident, I have largely maintained a low profile, engaging only in private conversations with a select few individuals and collaborating with Zane on the video. I am heartened to witness the emergence of constructive discussions arising from this situation and I am grateful that my voice is being heard. Furthermore, I want to emphasize that I have genuinely accepted Sean's apology. It meant a great deal to me that he acknowledged and regretted his behavior. I urge all of you to extend your support to Sean's company, "Encyclopocalypse Publications." They produce remarkable books. Where else are you going to find a novelization for "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes", "Hardcore", or "Fright Night" for a few bucks? This sounds like an ad for them, I know. It's not. I really dig their work. Finally, my novelization for "Halloween 5", what this whole affair has been about, will see the light of day, digitally and for FREE on July 1st. Zane will keep you all in the loop, I'm sure. Or, you can feel free to follow me on Twitter at @jakemartinwrite . Forgive me for ending on such a cheesy note, but can't we all just get along? - Jake Martin
