Bras as Ghostface- Halloween night! He wore the Fun World Ghost Face® Costume 25th Anniversary accessorized with Fun World Ghost Face® Bling Knife. ‘Ghost Face Lives®’ Collection. ‘The Icon of Halloween®’ Styled by me. Photos by me. 🎃

If you didn’t listen to me rave about a V/H/S movie for the first time ever and think, “I should give this V/H/S: HALLOWEEN” a whirl, read my interview with wrap around segment director Bryan Ferguson. It’s bloody bonkers. www.fangoria.com/v-h-s-hallow...

Celebrate Halloween with the dulcet tones of the late, great Christopher Lee in the BBC Archive's newly resurfaced documentary, A HANDFUL OF HORRORS.

But also, more excuses to talk about Ernest Dickerson! www.dreadcentral.com/editorials/5...

What a day! (And night!) Austin and his whole crew were incredible. Thanks so much for letting me be a part of it.

Yes, CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD now has a *second* Matt Ryan Tobin poster. This one is… King-ly. If you’ve ever tried to buy a Mutant poster, you know these sell out in minutes, so click through for that on-sale time.

Honored to be named alongside these amazing folks on Variety’s Horror Impact Report 🖤 variety.com/lists/horror...

Interview Mag x Herculine x Rayne Fisher-Quann www.interviewmagazine.com/literature/i...

I wrote some upsetting and funny horror books! 1. SUMMER IS ENDED: Slasher movies always forget summer camps are filled with children. asofterworld.com/joey/summer.... 2. UNDEAD GRANDMOTHER: Family can forgive, but let's make it gross enough so the reader won't! asofterworld.com/joey/grandmo...

A quick interview I did with Writer's Digest about AUTUMN SPRINGS and working in the world of publishing. www.writersdigest.com/philip-fraca...

It's always an honor to be able to contribute to the pages of Fangoria, especially when I get to be listed alongside such amazing individuals. I was thrilled to sit down with icon Ernest Dickerson for TWO separate interviews regarding the anniversary of DEMON KNIGHT and his work on DAY OF THE DEAD!

There can be no greater professional satisfaction than working with folks who see you, understand what you’re trying to do, and get it. My team gets it 🖤

Working for Fango is literally a childhood and lifelong dream fulfilled. I am especially honored to be here for this incarnation under our EIC @philnobilejr.bsky.social who I witnessed taking the mag in a direction I deeply wanted to be a part of.

Proud to present the masthead for FANGORIA #29. Don’t sleep on @sgj.bsky.social signing off his “Slasher Nation” column with a cheeky, brand-new short story, plus debut bylines from cool kids @crazysexyghoul.bsky.social, @xghorror.bsky.social and @ryanscottwrites.bsky.social 🖤🖤🖤 Love these folks.

Coming to theaters 2/6/26! @ifcfilms.bsky.social @shudder.com

Group costume idea? #thelastdrivein

One thing I’m always gonna do is have a little FUN with a prompt, so I wrote about Bette Gordon’s VARIETY as a non-traditional horror film for @letterboxd.social’s survey of underseen scary movies 🔪 Thanks as always to the brilliant @mitchellbeaupre.bsky.social for putting up with me!

Back in @criterion.bsky.social with a write-up on the LRB piece about David Lynch's American Dreamscape. Thanks, @dwhdaily.bsky.social! www.criterion.com/current/post...

Last night I moderated the Q&A for STRANGE JOURNEY: THE STORY OF ROCKY HORROR with director Linus O’Brien at the beautiful Nuart. This one’s dedicated to the teenager who snuck up to Milwaukee after curfew once a month to figure out who she is. You didn’t just dream it, kid. You became it.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is celebrating its 50th anniversary, so I wrote about the cinematic sanctuary it has provided for half a century, particularly in states without LGBTQIA+ protections. www.slashfilm.com/1979153/the-...

Actor William Katt joins us in-person this Sunday at the Aero for a Beyond Fest 40th anniversary screening of Steve Miner’s cult classic HOUSE (1985) – an ’80s haunted-house horror-comedy like no other that’s equal parts terrifying, bizarre & hilarious 👻 www.americancinematheque.com/now-showing/...

TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN – Day 2 Recap ❤️ Thank you to actor/singer-songwriter Sky Ferreira & actor Amy Shiels + surprise guests actors Caleb Landry Jones, Balthazar Getty, & George Griffith for the wonderful introductions on Saturday.

safe to say, i loved it!

This year marks 13 years of @screamfactory.bsky.social! I spoke with the incomparable Joe Dante at the company's celebratory PIRANHA/DAY OF THE DEAD screening at @vidiots.bsky.social about why companies like Scream Factory are vital to the culture. www.slashfilm.com/1976924/cult...

I had such a fun time gabbing about Charles Band's Talisman on the Puppet Masters / Castle Freaks podcast! Give 'er a listen, if you're so inclined: puppetmasterscastlefreaks.podbean.com

Look ma, I’m in Fangoria!

This one is in space, btw. Also very gay.

Dave Franco and Alison Brie are great--and brave--in TOGETHER. Horror movies work when you care about the people. This one works.

You can meet Patrick Brice and Peachfuzz… I mean Mark Duplass in person and have them sign this (I did the cover story if that excites anyone but me)

So stoked to share that I have a NEW essay in the @vinsyn.bsky.social/@ifcfilms.bsky.social release of BREAKING THE GIRLS! I had so much fun writing about Jamie Babbit + Guinevere Turner's delightful, queer mid-2010s take on STRANGERS ON A TRAIN. Grab yours: vinegarsyndrome.com/products/bre...

It’s true-I worked on @pauletheredge.bsky.social ’s. HELLBENT 20 years ago! Happy to be part of queer horror film history. Wrote abt it for @fangoria.bsky.social ! Thanks @davidkittredge.bsky.social @markbessenger.bsky.social & JT Seaton for your quotes & Paul for always being up for an interview.
