Happy 40th birthday to my all-time favorite film

My 2026 has been a divorce-shaped Stygian nightmare of housing insecurity, drifting between Airbnbs, couchsurfing + housesitting. But the goddess just blessed me with my own tiny apartment! I need to move/furnish it for myself + kid almost from scratch: a humble call for help if you can to do so!

Name a 70s film? Phantom of the Paradise, which I just finished rewatching

My latest piece for Fangoria is live! It's a chat with @kellythompson.bsky.social about her Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel comics for @dynamitecomicshq.bsky.social www.fangoria.com/new-buffy-an...

I’ve always been fascinated by this plot of land that has buildings that look like the Sawyer family from Texas Chain Saw Massacre might have lived in. It’s right across the street from a suburb of houses on the way to my comic shop. Snapped some pics today

THE FUTURE IS BACK. Fifty years ago, STARLOG went behind the scenes of alternate worlds for the first time. Now it's back, exploring the visionary sci-fi and cutting-edge science that inspire what comes next. The future will be wild. You'll be ready for it because you read STARLOG.

When you’re a writer who suffers from anxiety betting on yourself is utterly terrifying and exhilarating. That’s why I feel absolutely seen by this scene, my favorite, from Into the Spider-Verse youtu.be/-euUGPQZoHw?...

For those who don't know, Venus House is named for the legendary Venus Xtravaganza, whose posthumous appearance in the landmark documentary PARIS IS BURNING brought significant visibility to the trans community and ballroom scene. Empowerment via community is key to her legacy. The essence of Pride.

A fun, comprehensive, and incredible read

With the musical adaptation earning a whopping twelve Tony nominations and its fortieth anniversary creeping ever closer, now is the perfect time to revisit The Lost Boys — so why not do it with us? As a part of our FANGORIA Staff Picks program, audiences can head to their local Regal Cinemas to…

Great, timely, and insightful piece

Looking for a gorgeous, really cool, creepy horror comic with a great setting, characters and mystery? Check out Estuary: A Ghost Story from @dbandry.bsky.social , @timdanielcomics.bsky.social , @maanhouse.bsky.social , their collaborators. Just finished issue 2. I loved it!

Star Trek hope was never “everything will be fine” hope. It was Janeway dragging a ship through impossible space on caffeine and stubbornness. I wrote about the kind of hope Star Trek taught a lot of us. ✨READ HERE: jibber-jabber-with-jodi.ghost.io/what-star-tr... #StarTrek

Pick a Bond villain from the pictures you already have on your phone

The older I get, the more I think Star Trek: Deep Space Nine understood that people are messy, contradictory, complicated creatures… …and still worth believing in. That matters to me.

If you love quirky, character driven mysteries with heart and a love of Hitchcock style thrills, you need to read Narco by @dougwagner13.bsky.social , Daniel Hillyard & @imagecomics.com . Just read and loved issue 3

@elrickane.bsky.social This was the first Robert R McCammon novel I read. I was a kid in the late 80s when I read it. It’s a werewolf spy fighting Nazis. It was pretty rad www.goodreads.com/book/show/65...

Quote with a fictional band that is not Spinal Tap

@markfrost.bsky.social Twin Peaks was a formative show for me, means just as much to me as an adult and The List of 7 is one of my all time favorite novels. So, I wanted to say thank you for all the great stories.

I’m not super into Spawn, but I enjoyed last year’s Bloodletter mini. So, I took a chance on She Spawn #1 by @gailsimone.bsky.social & her collaborators and I’m glad I did! It was a fun, accessible, gorgeous looking, action, horror book with an intriguing protagonist

My tabletop gaming column at my DRWAS Patreon returns with a look at the fun, card drafting game, Scream Park www.patreon.com/posts/im-gam...

I just backed Exquisite Corpses: The Game on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/tin...

Name a quote from a TV show

Name the first album you ever owned. I still listen to Stan Bush’s “You Got the Touch” and “Dare” regularly.

The Godzilla comics trilogy by @franktieri.bsky.social & his collaborators for IDW that weaves the Big G and his fellow monsters into ancient and modern history history is 10 metric tons of fun. All 3 series are now available in collected editions. Here There Be Dragons kicks it off.

#FCBD #FreeComicBookDay haul

There’s a line out the door and going past the next door at the strip mall where one of my local comic shops is located. You hate to wait in it but on #FreeComicBookDay you love to see it

Currently watching this on Tubi and hoping #TheLastDrivein tackles it some day www.imdb.com/title/tt0099...

My latest article for @fangoria breaks down the offerings for horror fans on this Saturday’s Free Comic Book Day www.fangoria.com/free-comic-b...

Guys! GUYS! It's back! It's coming back!!! The single greatest literacy promotion in human history* is coming back! All you 80s and 90s kids know what's up! *(this point may be a little hyperbolic, but just a little) people.com/pizza-huts-b...

Ending an awesome night of comic reading in style with issue 6 of Roots of Madness by @stephwilliams.bsky.social , Letitia Cadonici and their collaborators. If you missed this amazing cosmic, gothic horror comic, do yourself a favor and get the collection of it in September

If you like horror stories then you need to check out some of the kick-ass comics @hannahrosemay.bsky.social & her collaborators have been doing like The Exorcism at 1600 Penn and the current Smile for the Camera & The Exorcism at Buckingham Palace (issue 2 dropped this week!)

@elrickane.bsky.social I’m not sure if you read comics before they’re collected, but you might really dig Cullen Bunn and Aneke’s gorgeous, modern day Ozsploitation comic, Ripcord ignitionpress.com/pages/proper...

I do not have a regal cinema in Michigan. Therefore, if you do live in a state with a regal you should go see this rad AF experience for people like me who can’t.

Post your favorite “Lord of the Ring” character(s). Wrong answers only

Watched a really cool creature feature called The Deep Dark last night via the free library app hoopla. Thank you to @elrickane.bsky.social for recommending it on the latest episode of @colorsofthedark.bsky.social . boxd.it/ATvO

Tonight I’m showing friends who’ve never seen an episode of #TheLastDrivein The Spookies episode. I hope and think they’ll have a good time

Thank you #TheLastDriveIn and all my fellow mutants. As always, the time we spend together is like a balm for a bruised and battered soul. I love you all!

Head Cannon: Oddity and Osgood Perkins' The Monkey exist in the same universe. #TheLastDriveIn

#TheLastDriveIn Man, the sound design in this scene!!

Abigail rules! #TheLastDriveIn

I can't think of few structures more foreboding and dangerous in horror movies than tents. Especially ones inside of a house #TheLastDriveIn

#TheLastDriveIn What's under the flannel blanket? Does Joe Bob and Darcy have their own version of what's in Darcy's chest?

#TheLastDrivein Man, Carolyn Bracken is great in this. Dani and Darcy feel like two very different people,
