Goodreads asked Mitch Unruh:

How do you get inspired to write?

Mitch Unruh I have always loved movies and am a self professed film buff. Before I started writing Scarlet Blue, I watched a lot of different films that I wanted to try to replicate in tone and style. The new Candyman produced by Jordan Peele, Tales from the Hood, Gone Baby Gone, Taxi Driver, Lost Boys, and The Town were all films I turned to for inspiration and tried to evoke. While writing, I also like to listen to a lot of film scores. There's nothing like putting on a vinyl score to a film and sitting down to write for a few hours (quick shoutout to waxworkrecords.com, they have some amazing scores available!). Some of my go to scores were 2018's Halloween, Candyman, Dark Knights: Death Metal Soundtrack, The Thing, Mad Max: Fury Road, and The Batman.
