When I visit a place, the art I consume there is inextricably linked to my memories of where I visited. When I rewatch a film I first saw on vacation, I feel like I’m right back where I first watched it. Director Quentin Tarantino’s “Reservoir Dogs” will forever be connected to my first day in Prague when I watched it while too exhausted to leave the comfort of my AirBnB.

This fall, two relay teams of four Daily Arts staffers will train for and run the Probility Ann Arbor Marathon. But as writers, we can’t just run the race — we have to write about our past experiences with running, how we are preparing for the marathon, what we look forward to and what we are afraid of. Throughout my time at the University of Michigan, running has been a constant.

If you have zero idea what Five Nights at Freddy’s is, I am incapable of explaining the phenomenon that is FNAF to you. The video game franchise has become incomprehensible, a labyrinthine construction of ridiculous lore, convoluted plot and overly dramatic MatPat videos. It’s also one of the most interesting products of internet culture ever created. The barrier of entry is high; you almost need a full degree before you start understanding the story’s most basic aspects.

Subgenres like military sci-fi and hard sci-fi have made the genre more concerned with robots and space lasers than new environments.

My interest in the genre has only developed in recent years, partly ignited by Jordan Peele’s (“Nope”) emergence into horror and induced by an interest in expanding my films watched list. This October alone, I have found a new appreciation of many classic horror films, including “The Shining,” “Alien” and “Carrie” — I live with Stephen King fans if you couldn’t tell.
