I can barely play the guitar, but if I had $36,000 to spare, I would get this in a freaking heartbeat. www.guitarworld.com/gear/electri...

The new Funhouse at Pacific Park is such a great addition to that lovely seaside destination! youtu.be/l9NdbMGvTOs?...

Hey everybody! There are eight new shirt designs now up at ThrillRags! Four “faux vintage” roller coaster shirts and four with the new “Terror Tillie” character! www.thrillrags.com

If you haven’t seen “Metropolis II” in action at LACMA, I would urge you to do so. Mesmerizing. youtu.be/roBtI45_wjk?...

Just saw “Weapons.” Favorite movie of 2025 for me, so far. FOR THE LOVE OF CTHULU PLEASE SEE THIS MOVIE AS COLD AS YOU CAN. The less you know, the better. Insane.

And be sure to listen to the fantastic Season Pass podcast episode with the superlative Doug Barnes and the awesome Midsummer Scream creative director, Rick West! seasonpasspodcast.libsyn.com/tspp-414-mid...

Loved kicking off Spooky Season with @theseasonpass.bsky.social at @midsummerscream.bsky.social this weekend, still the biggest and best Halloween and horror con in the world. youtu.be/3TqcI0PIckQ?...

Had a blast on this year's @nolimitscoaster.bsky.social Roundup 600 judging panel with @ride-op.bsky.social & @robertcoker.bsky.social! I'm constantly blown away by the creativity of the NoLimits community & this year's crop is no exception. Kudos to everyone who entered! youtu.be/6yDniY8B_vk?...

Life-saving idea! Pass it on!

Loved fantasizing about a Wilford Brimley theme park w/ you and @robertcoker.bsky.social, D! We’ll do another one down the line…👏👏👏

open.spotify.com/episode/7LTu... The great Robert Coker @robertcoker.bsky.social talks extinct theme parks in this incredible podcast with the amazing Dave Cobb @davecobb.com — A MUST LISTEN.

Super honored and excited to be invited by the legendary @franksantopadre.bsky.social to be on his new podcast FUN FOR ALL AGES, chatting about "Lost & Forgotten Amusement Parks" with @robertcoker.bsky.social! Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l... (YouTube & Spotify links in thread)

I had an absolute blast having this fantastic discussion with @davecobb.com and @franksantopadre.bsky.social! open.spotify.com/episode/7LTu...

Dang. I was really excited to see what Herschend would do with Castle Park.

This is wonderful news, but no mention of Joe Dante is concerning.

So no big deal but I got to ring the bell while standing in the “Chloe” engine that belonged to Ward Kimball at his Grizzly Flats backyard railroad. (And saw a bunch of other sweet trains and trollies and such.) youtu.be/5AOXD8QTq0s?...

If this doesn’t lead to production of a “Muppet Mad Monster Party” reboot, I’m taking a hostage.

Beautiful. All these kids get an A+ and their teacher gets tenure, a huge raise and my everlasting respect.

Fuckin’ A

I upped my monthly contribution, not by much but doing what I can. Please do the same if you can.

Goddamn, RIP Ozzy. The shitty news just keeps on coming.

Picked up some light reading recently. Beyond badass, including the heartfelt forward by John Fucking Carpenter. And with the announcement of TWO Toho sequels, to both Minus One AND Shin, yeah, some good news we all needed.

Speaking of movies the new Tron Ares trailer blew my mind. Chills.

He’s right.

I only started listening to the Amazing Colossal Podcast with Gilbert Gottfried and Frank Santopadre recently; it is incredible. @franksantopadre.bsky.social has launched his new podcast, Fun For All Ages, and it will be just as incredible. Don’t miss the 1st ep: open.spotify.com/show/18EQJND...

“Please enjoy this new savory snack I made just for you!” -Satan

Every little bit helps, even just sharing this post 🩷

For 8 year old me, this would have been my Woodstock.

Seeing “Reservoir Dogs” for the first time blew my mind. So many brilliant performances but Michael Madsen just destroyed. Hate to have lost him so early. Fuck this wretched timeline.

I saw the product name font and my mind went here immediately:

In a better timeline, this movie was a BLOCKBUSTER that became a 5-film franchise (at least). A damn classic. And freaking Robert Picardo should have been nominated for best supporting actor.

Good god how did I miss this???

You know what is awesome? Nature. Plants, animals, all that jazz, awesome. A superlative place to enjoy nature, I just discovered, is Placerita Canyon, home to The Oak of the Golden Dream. And tarantulas. youtu.be/0MLmHWuoHp8?...

RIP Lalo Schifrin. So many great works but this will always be my favorite of his (for obvious reasons to those who know me.)

What actor’s expression in a movie will stay with you for the rest of your life?

Hey, all! You can help protect and support whistleblowers! If everyone gives just a buck or two, we'll absolutely crush our goal. It only takes a second, and it's tax deductible. One small thing can make a huge difference: whistlebloweraid.org/beans

I used to run with a pretty tough gang when I was younger.

If it was 14%, I would still be appalled.

And a Haunted Mansion shot just because.

Was down for the count a lot this week with allergies, a weird cold, I don’t know what. (But not covid.) feeling better today so here is a random Disneyland rockwork appreciation post. #Disneyland #BigThunder #RockworkRules

I will never complain about my home internet’s download speeds again.

If you're heading to a protest tomorrow, it's important to know your rights. Consult this information from the ACLU. Be peaceful. Be safe. Be careful. Be strong.

I would normally post some silly Friday the 13th meme, but since it feels like we are living in a horror movie rn, gonna not.
