LOS ANGELES — Writer Sarah Valmont will serve as the guest moderator of tomorrow's edition of the Twitter-based chat show #SexTalkTuesday where the topic will be "sex and horror."
The discussion, produced by Sssh.com founder Angie Rowntree, is held every second Tuesday of the month and unspools from 5-6 p.m. (PST).
A writer in the adult industry since 2013, Valmont’s most recent project, "Mirror Game," directed by Rowntree, won the 2021 XBIZ Award for "Erotic Themed Movie of the Year," along with numerous mainstream film awards.
"I've always aspired to shift the paradigm around adult cinema, and telling stories with a depth of narrative ultimately is part of that. In many ways, though, 'Mirror Game' was new territory for Sssh, which, of course, is all due to the fans’ response and demand for sexual thrills mingling with suspense," Rowntree said.
"As a writer, Sarah did a tremendous job of creating a story that combines elements of supernatural horror that are further ignited by the erotic imagination," she added.
Following the release of a movie like "Mirror Game," Valmont observed, "it seems fitting to ponder the ways in which terror and arousal are, in fact, mirror opposites of the same adrenaline rush. Just as our fears are primal, so is our lust. The horror genre obviously has a rich and fascinating history of playing on these aspects of the human experience, so I’m hopeful that this discussion will let us shed light on some of the darker aspects of the human psyche."
