Didn't realize Spirit Halloween sold their mascot at their stores. We also learned this year that it's pointless to visit the smaller pop-ups, because they barely have anything, from displays to merchandise, compared to the giant "flagship" location, which is thankfully close to our home.

He may play a CREEP but Mark Duplass is a stand-up guy, as Duplass Brothers Productions is teaming up with the Transgender Film Center to launch the Found Footage Fund for trans filmmakers.

A witchy double feature as I decorate for Halloween.

It's one week until October, and there are still Spirit stores that haven't yet opened in my area. Major fail.

Am I the only one whose dogs will be like, “You threw that piece of food too far out of my reach,” and then just stare at it waiting for you to fix the problem?

Picked up a beautiful Halloween themed divination deck from the magic shop in town.

Romy and Michele go nuts when they see a squirrel in our trees, often attempting to CLIMB the trees. They will sit under the tree all day terrorizing the poor little trapped critter!

Demons, creatures, monsters, and ghosts. I had a happy horror time with three out of four of these flicks. Find out which ones on my site: boysbearsandscares.com/demons-creat... #horror

Kind of odd timing, but as we head towards Halloween, someone purchased a copy of the Christmas/Valentine installment of my gay horror series! Maybe just to have the picture of me as Santa on the cover? Hehe. Either way, thanks for reading my books!

Why is it that you can scoff down chunks of food with no problem, but once in a while you can't get a prescription capsule down and it feels like you're going to choke to death on it?

Why does this one look like Dr. Frankenstein went body part hunting at a circuit party?

Lynnie Greene, who played younger Dorothy in flashbacks on The Golden Girls 4 decades ago. Still perfect casting.

Possession at a cabin, a witch curse, and another killer Popeye. Which of these three was my favorite? Find out on my site: boysbearsandscares.com/cabin-posses... #horror

Tonight on cable there's a remake of the 1993 film The Wedding Banquet, in which a gay man weds a woman in a marriage of convenience to please bigoted family. Like...is this really a tale that needs to be told 32 years later? Do we really need regressive queer stories at this point in time?

DO YOU LOVE THE BRING IT ON MOVIES? I own only 2 of them on physical media--the first movie and the slasher installment, of course.

If you want to fill the fall season with Halloween themed horror, loads of movies on the holiday horror movies page on my site are available to watch across various streaming services and should take you right through October 31st. boysbearsandscares.com/holiday-horr... #Halloween

Hop on your motorcycle, avoid that "child" in the road and slide to a stop because we're discussing Katsuhiro Otomo's seminal anime #Akira (1988)!

When I was working at Barnes & Noble in 1995, Wicked became the novel to buy, and I thought it risky to piggyback on a classic series. Finally reading it now, and the themes right from page 1 make it feel insanely ahead of its time, as if Gregory Maguire wrote it as a commentary on the world today.

Three degrees of slashing. Are any of these three worth a watch? My thoughts on my site: boysbearsandscares.com/three-degree... #horror

Totally just saw a new Halloween tinged Kit Kat commercial while watching a movie on Prime. It wasn't specifically a Halloween branded ad, but the holiday had a background role.

When ghosts, demons, and zombies get the last laugh? I take a look at this horror comedy trio on Boys, Bears & Scares: boysbearsandscares.com/when-ghosts-... #gayhorror

Thank you so much to @queerforfear.com author Heather O. Petrocelli for not only breaking down their amazing book with us, but also one of Troma's delightfully insane films, Chopper Chicks in Zombietown! Check out the interview here: www.buzzsprout.com/104713/episo...

You ever do something so stupid when you're totally alone that you feel embarrassed for yourself? Yeah, I just did that. Tried to pick up a leaf off the rug I've had for like 18 years...a leaf that's part of the pattern.

I think we're at the point in AI where people are asking, "Hey, AI. make this AI video I made look like it's not AI before I post it."

I just for the first time ever checked sales reports to see which book in my gay horror series has sold the most copies, and the winner is WET SCREAMS! Is it the cover art? Is it because it has a bonus, standalone gay Halloween slasher novel as well? I'll never know.

The body count rises with kids' characters and holiday horror. A look at this foursome on Boys, Bears & Scares: boysbearsandscares.com/from-kids-ch... #horror
