Czech New Wave masterpiece THE CASSANDRA CAT (1963) returns to the Hollywood on Sunday, February 1st for the House of Dreams no-kill cat shelter! All proceeds from this benefit screening go to their work caring for homeless and abandoned cats. Tickets: hollywoodtheatre.org/show/the-cassandra-cat

@scumbelievable.bsky.social and @haileypiperfights.bsky.social would you all want to do curated shelves for February at @moviemadness.org?

Soft launching thirst traps on main with my new singlet. A little tight, but that’s the price of being a painter these days.

Went to the big local game store to feed my jigsaw puzzle fever, and was surprised that in a room full of MTG, D&D, and endless nerd things, they only had a small display of the most generic gift shop puzzles. Like sure Jan, I’ll take this puzzle of a pile of yarn balls, no metal dragons for me.

Join us next Monday, January 12th in the Miniplex at 6pm & 8pm for KITE: LIBERATOR! Media Blasters presents the bizarre sci-fi follow-up to the controversial classic, KITE (1998). Tickets: moviemadness.org/event/media-blasters-presents-kite-liberator

Classic deleted advert for that space movie.

Does anyone know if this Dread Central news has any impact on the awful things we’ve heard about DC in the last couple of weeks? Is it a solution or a spectacle?

Some of my favorite first watches of last year! Abracadabra, HK The Forbidden Super Hero, The Damned, and Exhuma. What are some of yours?

Vanessa Redgrave and Franco Nero. Literally one of the hottest couples ever (they're together irl!). (A Quiet Place in the Country, 1968).

I don’t know the intricacies of how IMDB works, but why is there so little effort in adding photos or even listing Asian actors? According to it, there are only 9 actors in The Old Woman with the Knife, only 7 have photos, and that includes the 1 white person in the film for 30 seconds.

Found this cute corner shelf, right after brunch, but before the food poisoning kicked in.

Vault of Horror celebrates another Samantha Eggar performance with Canadian slasher CURTAINS (1983) on Friday, January 23rd! Co-starring Lynne Griffin, CURTAINS is an underseen gem of an '80s slasher film packed with killer performances from incredible actresses: hollywoodtheatre.org/show/curtains

Next up, Frazetta Tales from the Crypt puzzle! I’ll die for Frazetta, and the quality is super nice, but that dark blue/black area was out of control. The pieces fit closely in spots that were not right, so it took a lot of undoing to finish. Level 12 barbarians know what I’m talking about ;)

What a reveal

browsing the internet used to feel like you were uncovering hidden new zones and getting rid of fog of war now it’s like a bunch of cannibal maniacs are chasing after you with crossbows trying to roast you alive

It’s been a great year at the theater!

I don’t have a lot of thoughts about Strange Darling, but I’m dying to know the rules for their competitive jigsaw puzzle game. Does anyone have any ideas?

Final post of 2025! Wishing everyone a happy New Year because this one has sure been a lot. Celebrate in whatever way makes you happy and I’ll see you all in 2026. #haunteddavidart #beefcake #supportqueerartists #queerart #happynewyear #newyearseve #homoerotic #nudeman #sockgarters #mustache

My last article in 2025: For my end-of-year horror coverage, I picked out 10 hidden gems at @bloody-disgusting.com

In 2025 I left most social media and let go of my resentment over the lack of recognition for both how good my art is and my contributions to Queer Horror. I sleep better, I feel better, and I manage a great video store. I always lead with kindness and my only goal for 2026 is to be horny on main.

I had to buy this found photo on eBay because it reminded me of the penis costume from The Initiation (1984) which was my profile pic for my alt-Tumblr back in the day. Now I use a Jaws 3 photo and that’s called growth!

My top three new releases for 2025 are Twinless, Keeper, and Omniscient Reader. A lot of larger films came out this year, and I enjoyed some of them, but ultimately they didn’t click with me.

The problem is my brain won’t let me stop working on a puzzle until it’s done. Blazed through this perfect 500 piece Dina Martina puzzle last night, but now all that I have left are 1000-10000 piece puzzles 😩

Hard at work with this vintage Clash of the Titans puzzle I got for my birthday. The box shows that there are three more out there!

I have an overwhelming phobia of snakes, the smaller the scarier! Haha so naturally I’ve seen all of these. High recommend the first five on the list if you haven’t seen them.

Save the date! Our Movie Madness Artist Spotlight returns on Friday, January 9th with the talent behind our store map mural, Greg Bigoni (@dollartaconite on Instagram)! More info: moviemadness.org/event/greg-bigoni-filmed-in-oregon-artist-spotlight

Happy holidays from my tree to uhm your tree.

If you have time and access, and you enjoy a dark holiday story, watch THE DEVIL OF CHRISTMAS from INSIDE NO. 9.

Ho ho ho !

We want to send out a special holiday greeting to Brian & Margaret Trenchard-Smith, who make a lovely cake for the theater staff every year. Thanks!

It really pays to be married to a type A personality that cannot go to bed unless everything looks just right. Haha where as I can go to bed anytime ;)

At work, we talk about categorizing movies all day long. Christopher Nolan falls squarely into “cold movies for men”

I’m not immune to traditional attractiveness, but I find gay photography that features one perfectly symmetrical nude (usually white) model so uninteresting. I treasure artists like Ren Hang (gone too soon) who tells poetry with the body. Every photo is a mystery.

We’re delighted to be featuring a shelf curated by Paul Lê, the artist-turned-film/television journalist whose writing has appeared at various sites, such as Bloody Disgusting, and on #PhysicalMedia releases for Arrow and Terror Vision. Check out Paul’s work here: talesfromthepaulside.com

Went to @moviemadness.org to visit my shelf! Loved seeing a couple of the films rented out and people perusing the shelf while I was there. Thanks so much to the MM team for inviting me to curate this selection of #UterusHorror films I love. Be sure to visit MM and rent from my shelf while you can!

An absolute highlight of my birthday was being gifted this incredible painting by local artist Jason Scribner! It’s perfect and I love it! He’s not on Bluesky, but he can be found on Instagram at @paintonwood #jasonscribner #jasonscribnerart

come see me at the Market of the Beast in Portland this weekend, Sunday December 21st. show is at the Redd, 831 SE Salmon St, 1pm-6pm. I'll have prints, woven tapestries, new stickers, keychains, enamel pins, originals and more available. come say hi <3 its my final show of the year <3

Opening door number 15 of the Scarred For Life advent calendar, we find... a man trapped in a phone box. It's one of the greatest short horror films ever made (with an unforgettable ending): LA CABINA!

I share a space with this creature of the night.

In honor of my dad’s d-day, I watched the new Red Sonja. The ‘80s one was a favorite of ours with the poster in our living room since forever. He would have loved the new one, and I had fun, but I just want more from modern fantasy movies. Magic, monsters, animated skeletons, evil, and 17 witches.

Calling this done because if I don't I'll keep fussing with the details forever and it's driving me crazy. 😅 Titling this one "Languish" 🦁

Thinking about things.

There's no better time, or season, to watch Kim Basinger's Christmasploitation, "good for her" revenge movie, WHILE SHE WAS OUT, than her birthday. 🎄

Thank you everyone who came out to support!

This feed has done a lot for my Bluesky experience. Imagine being able to find people with similar interests.

Have you noticed our TRAPPED! staff recommendations board for December? We’ve made this handy dandy graphic for you to help with reading the picks and picking up some titles to celebrate not being stuck at home. Who’s picks are you vibing with?
