Monday we enter the gloom, the madness, join us as we explore the corridors of Usher in search of answers to Madeline and Roderick's fate, and the ever after miskatonicinstitute.com/events/mansi...

I did my degree at Herts. Like many other institutions, the management have decided to throw the Humanities department under the bus. Read the campaign text to see the lies and double-speak that those working in the department have to contend with.

Fantastic lecture @miskatonicihs.bsky.social from @jamesrendell.bsky.social on His House, one of the best films of the 2020s. I've been searching for more writing about it since I saw it in the depths of Lockdown. Diolch i Josh & James. I hope to make it to more events in The Horse Hospital!

Thoroughly enjoyed last night's talk by Dr James Rendell about the brilliant His House and the contemporary politics that surrounds this film. Another great event by @miskatonicihs.bsky.social and hosted by @joshsaco.bsky.social #hishouse #horrorfilm #precarity @thehorsehospital.bsky.social

In other news, I'm starting to programme my Autumn schedule, so feel free to reach out...

HIS HOUSE is a classic case of using the horror genre to address societal issues. Next Tuesday, I'm excited to welcome @jamesrendell.bsky.social to the Horse Hospital to dive into this film Tickets & Details: billetto.co.uk/sv/e/be-one-...

Throwback to 2018: this is the lecture for @miskatonicihs.bsky.social I was invited by @kierlajanisse.bsky.social to give at Fantastic Fest that year. This led to the then still-unpublished book 1000 WOMEN IN HORROR being optioned, resulting in the just-released the documentary of the same name 💜

My Miskatonic lecture is in a few hours. I hope you'll be able to join me. 💙

Thrilled to welcome @willowcatelyn.bsky.social into the warm arms of Miskatonic, next Monday she presents Gazing at the Trans Feminine Grotesque Online, exploring the confrontational presentation of Trans in cinema Tickets and details: miskatonicinstitute.com/events/gazin...

Ebert famously hated this movie when it was released. My piece isn't really about criticizing Ebert, but I do address his position and use it as a way to challenge how we write about acting and collaboration in movies made by male geniuses.

We're back at the Horse Hospital on the 10th for some furious wasteland battles. The bombs have dropped, and now the fight for survival begins with the wonderful Ken Hollings. See you on the 10th.

I had an entire slide on this in my @miskatonicihs.bsky.social talk, and I regret NOTHING.

This is what I've been doing with my time recently. Can't remember when I last enjoyed helping to compile a festival retrospective programme so much. These films are subversive, outrageous, WTF & bonkers, a full complement of extraordinary horror & sci-fi classics that deserve to be rediscovered.

An excellent talk by horror expert @aurelea.bsky.social about the 'New Black Gothic Romance.' Also, special thanks to @miskatonicihs.bsky.social and wonderful host @joshsaco.bsky.social #blackgothic #blackhorror #gothicstudies #afrogothic #newblackgothic

Anyone who was at my “Shoegaze Horror” talk @miskatonicihs.bsky.social would’ve heard me bang on about Exit 8 - alongside PT, the Backrooms, and other looping liminal horror environments. It even has flickering lights! Well now it’s coming to cinemas, and it’s a firm recommendation from me. 🥰

Looking forward to this, got my semester pass ready!
