Quick Poll: Would you consider PARANORMAL ACTIVITY a ghost story?

This Wednesday at the Chicago Drafthouse I have the incredible and strange HAMLET 2! drafthouse.com/chicago/show...

This country is beyond fucked, but I won’t let that prevent me from brining Little Edie into your feed today.

The wait is over! Here are the official nominees for the 2026 FANGORIA Chainsaw Awards, celebrating the scream of the crop. Now it's up to YOU to choose the winners. The polls are open through July 15th, so get your votes in asap!

Other folks see the same thing too? Just me?

Tonight! @tomorrowromance.bsky.social has WILDWOOD, NJ at the Chicago Drafthouse. Join us! drafthouse.com/chicago/even...

For 13 years now a few friends of mine have observed a good friend’s birthday by wearing a shirt with him on it and sharing the annual photos far and wide. Tell your friends you love them. Tell them how much they mean to you. Celebrate the shit out of them. Happy birthday, Nick!

Submissions are now open for @bosunderground.bsky.social ! If you have a film that's weird, scary, inventive, experimental, silly, surreal, and/or gonzo, we want to see it! Show me something I haven't seen before! (Do NOT make me watch anything with AI tho i stg) filmfreeway.com/BostonUnderg...

In this heat, be sure to ice your cats. (Aggie loves this).

I called my doctor’s office with a question last week that they couldn’t answer. The nurse just called me back and told me to google it. Literally, she said, “Google it, that’s what I would do.” I kinda get it, but I expected a little more from an actual medical office.

Suz was a generous, kind hearted person who never hesitated to help me when I reached out to her. She is leaving a huge void in the world, and I will be forever grateful for the sliver of her I had in my life.

Wednesday! I’m showing the best Estonian cannibal musical I’ve ever seen. drafthouse.com/chicago/even...

My first ever piece for @fangoria.bsky.social!

Colbert arrives at the Obama Library opening in a tan suit. 😂

All weekend long.

The Henry James Review! Plainsong and Medieval Music! The Lion and the Unicorn! Modernism/Modernity! RNA!

I’m all about celebrating new directors and new voices in horror cinema. But it sure would be cool if it wasn’t always folks in the exact same demographic bucket getting celebrated.

This is such a minor pet peeve. But I absolutely hate it when people in movies get drenched in blood, and somehow manage to have perfectly clean skin in perfect circles around their eyes.

Dammit.

Hey, Chicago! We get to see TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA a month early! mubifest.com/en/chicago

I'd complain about this YouTuber-to-horror director trend if most of the movies weren't really good.

Today’s the day! #eurovision2026

Happy Mother’s Day!

Was D.A.R.E. One of the co-financiers for WHISTLE?

Also, AMC+ has a deal to subscribe for a full year for $30- no ads. It includes all of Shudder too, so that was an easy choice for me!

This week at the Chicago Drafthouse I've got THE LURE! drafthouse.com/chicago/even... And who doesn't love a Polish mermaid disco musical?

Guys, ANGEL DOWN won the Pulitzer Prize. Let’s get nuts.

Happy 30th, THE CRAFT!

Certain THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE ripoffs/homages are waaaay better than other ones. Anyone have a good article on this I can read?

Lately, it’s feels like the world is crumbling around us. And though it is such a small detail in the scheme of things, I am grateful that this timeline is the one where Dan Stevens chooses weird stuff in his post-Downton career

How about this for a Sunday at the Chicago Critics Film Festival? Next week, May 3 at the @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social 11:30 AM - You Had To Be There 1:45 PM - Shorts Program #2 4:15 PM - Maddie's Secret 6:30 PM - Late Fame 8:45 PM - A.I. (in 35mm) TICKETS: www.musicboxtheatre.com/series-and-f...

Anyone have a rec for good vegetarian food in Detroit?

DUST BUNNY is downright freaking charming.

Today’s order concluding Illinois v. Trump confirms what's been clear to the people of our state from the beginning: Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to occupy our streets was a reckless and illegal abuse of power.

Happy Marathon Monday, Boston! This is the day I miss Boston the most. (No joke).

I'll be in Calgary next week for the Calgary Underground Film Festival and while I'm there I'm doing a reading + signing at @shelflifebooks.bsky.social to plug my two most recent books TRUTH & SOUL and COCKFIGHT (although I'll sign whatever you have!) spectacularoptical.com/events/kier-...

Apparently it’s National Pet Day. Like I need an excuse to share these ladies.

Just had a man tell me all about George Romero. This is after I showed him my Bub tattoo. I’m also hosting a screening of THERE’S ALWAYS VANILLA tonight. I’m not southern, but bless his heart.

My magnum opus. Figaro wearing jeans.

This Wednesday I’m showing THERE’S ALWAYS VANILLA at the Chicago Drafthouse, because you can never watch enough Romero. drafthouse.com/chicago/even...

I am loath to do this, but I need your help. My 20+ year marriage has unexpectedly imploded. There's a kid involved. Aside from Lupus, Autism and a shitty 2009 Mazda, I have nothing. Things are fairly desperate right now, so if you can help out now in any way at all I'd be really grateful ❤️

Happy TVOD just a reminder if you’re a transphobe in big 2026 you’re an embarrassment and David Lynch would hate you 🏳️‍⚧️🤍

Hey, I wrote this!

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video. “It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?” This lady’s response is🔥

I wanted to share this before Women’s History Month is over ✨ give these awesome writers a follow and share to help introduce them to new readers! If you’re a horror author and don’t see your name on the list, reply to this to be added 🫶🏽

Alright. Why haven’t I heard anything about ALPHA?

The @nytimes.com Spelling Bee has @bosunderground.bsky.social on the brain too. Fest starts tomorrow!

Man, I love that PTA invoked the all-timer year of 1975 in his speech. Go watch all five of those movies! One Battle will last. Sinners will last. Congratulations to all and to all a good night!

Autumn Durald Arkapaw is the FIRST female cinematographer to ever win the Oscar for Best Cinematography, for her work on Sinners. She is also the first woman of color to win and be nominated for this category. When she asked every woman in the audience to stand, I got so emotional. #Oscars
