WONDER TWINS 2

This puzzle contains a word or phrase suggested by Patron M. Sean Molley. Support me on Patreon at $15 or more per month to suggest one word or phrase for me to put into a puzzle every month!

There are two identical crossword grids and two sets of clues to go with them, so that you can solve them both at the same time. However, each clue number has two different clues for two different answers (sorted randomly), so you have to figure out which answer goes in which grid. To help you get started, both answers for one pair of clues have been filled in.

Once everything has been filled in, you should notice that some corresponding squares in the solved grids will have the exact same letters. Read them in order to get the FINAL ANSWER: the name of a horror novel that features twins
