OMG Solvent is on Shudder this month! It is so weird but if you can get into that, I recommend it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK2p...

Can I just express how insane these Omnilux ads are that I keep getting bombarded with on YouTube? A serial killer would be wearing that shit. They'd have nice skin, I guess, but it's never their own skin they're interested in, amirite?!

In light of Angel Down winning The Big Big Prize, I'm taking it as my sign to encourage people to read The Teddies Saga because even though it's Middle Grade these three books will stomp on your heart and make you crawl in your closet and bawl and hurt and ache and love every minute of it.

As we celebrate @danielkraus.com Day and his glorious achievement, let us remember that Horror is a versatile genre, it is an expressive genre, it is a humanizing genre, it is an enriching genre, and it is the Darkness which leads us all to Light. Hallelujah!

Here's the thing: why don't we just save the world from dangerously capable AI...uh, I dunno...NOW? Just a thought.

Today's hot take: sure, writers suffer from Imposter Syndrome (and some of us it's A LOT), but if you're using AI because you don't trust yourself as a writer in *any* way, not even enough to learn how to be better (considerations of laziness aside)? Then GTFO, you've got no business doing it.

Girls are not only *expected* to empathize with boys (i.e. male-driven narrative) we are trained/socialized/indoctrinated to do so, literally the default setting. That's why I have no patience for "Ewww anything even remotely feminine" mindset even though it's an equal amount of indoctrination.

Another thing which probably matters only to me...the true genius of "The Groove Line" lies in how the *entire* song sounds like a train. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw1O...

Can't say I'm all broke up about Timmy being shut-out, lol. #schadenfreude

I'd be, like, "You're ALREADY trying to alpine divorce me? You don't even know me!"

Re: Undertone - I love cursed media stories, thus so very much my thing, but it's about so much more in terms of its' horror; the weight of grief and guilt and isolation. I don't mean to compare it directly to @gemmafiles.bsky.social's story "Echo Chamber" but that's what I kept thinking of.

Behind the times once again, but this is fire. Funny and such great flows. And that track! www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMUS...

I feel like we're talking about Vegas now the way some people still talk about NYC back in the '70s. Consider myself lucky that I knew both those places when. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJcy...

@michaelwehunt.bsky.social if you win Best Novel can all of us trapped in this book move into your award house, please?

I expect more heartbreakers as I dig into PitW, but once again my sad boi has got me laying on the floor in a state of blissful melancholy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=acA8...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Today's rewatch:

Readers, EVERY Gemma Files book is worth it! Trust me, I've read them all.

I just heard about Ralph Towner's passing...Solstice was a singular achievement in a lifetime full of them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi-H...

@gemmafiles.bsky.social have you heard about The Undertone? Once again they made a movie just for you and me! www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6uD...

This is likely something only I care about, but you will never convince me that Motley Crue wasn't heavily influenced by Aerosmith's "Home Tonight" when they recorded "Home Sweet Home." Mick's solo, especially, is pure Joe Perry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmOs...

LOL, people who think Heated Rivalry came out of nowhere - you have never read any Hockey RPF and it shows. 😜

‪I always like to say,"Watch the film that IS, not what you want it to be;" but I failed with Immaculate, which I think neither lived up to its Catholic Horror potential, nor to its Gothic leanings. It was so close! But rewatches of Lords of Salem and Delivery: The Beast Within fixed that right up!

whoa, it's @gradyhendrix.bsky.social AND @catrionaward.bsky.social’s bdays TODAY?! Two of our very best contemporary horror writers, born on the same day?! AND Shirley Jackson, too?!?! That's some cosmic alignment shit right there. Go buy a Cat book & a Grady book (and, hey, a Shirley book) today!

OMG I'm just...this is such a trainwreck (much like the book). I can't even be pithy because words fail in the face of the way she's responding to what seems to be a simple question. www.youtube.com/shorts/yhhWj...

Now reading @nadiabulkin.bsky.social's Issues With Authority (released by @ghoulish.bsky.social!), and once again this is a sterling collection by a fabulous voice in the Horror space (and whatever other space she wishes to inhabit)! Loving it!! 🖤

She smiles and says "I will always love you."

Desolate album cover? Check. SAD BOI HOURS RETURNING SOON. 💔😭

Watching House On Eden which has a very simple premise but it is creepy AF (at least for me) and one of the best reprises of the BWP chemistry. I recommend for the curious.

My nightly walks for Halloween week are that much creepier courtesy of the audiobook version of Haunted Nights featuring my all-time favorite, @johnlangan.bsky.social's "Lost in the Dark." Vibes: terrifying! 💀

Today's Hot Take: Girls/Women *have* to understand males so well, they make better males in this skit than actual boys would. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID1j...

@michaelwehunt.bsky.social Chapter Sixteen: 😱😱😱😱😱😱

Happy Belated Bookbirthday to The October Film Haunt and grateful thank you to @michaelwehunt.bsky.social for doing a great AMA on r/horrorlit today! TOFH promises super spooky bad times and I'm only five chapters in! 😱 Let it haunt you too! 😈

Just finished @scumbelievable.bsky.social's Black Flame (so incredible!) and going right into @haileypiperfights.bsky.social's A Game In Yellow! This is how you do Hot Girl Horror Summer! 🖤🔥

I know the kids are seriously using "unserious" and I don't know why it fucking bothers me, but it SERIOUSLY does. 🤪 (Mainly because there's so many fun words to use in place of that non-term.)

So much of what made these efforts "genius" and "paradigm-breaking," and "the map of the future" was the efforts of a particular group of passionate intelligent wonderful people and we should always acknowledge that.

I keep meaning to opine that I think @gradyhendrix.bsky.social's story "The Blanks" (from the Amazon Original Stories collection The Shivers) unfolds like an Elin Hilderbrand beach read gone horribly horribly horribly wrong and I absolutely LOVED IT even as it eviscerated me by the end.

Happy 64th to my blue drumgod, the actual factual gentle giant, and a genuine force of Nature. Long may he reign.

Eek, I might get ratio'd, who knows, but S2E3 of Helluva Boss becoming a Mafia AU of itself is fucking GENIUS! 🤣

Feeling so happy that today is the day I finally own all of @jordanharper.bsky.social's books! 😁

RFK Jr.'s willful misunderstanding of the autism spectrum is yet another example of how this man is too dumb to hold any office, especially one involving making decisions for the health and safety of this country. My creds? Autistic and can write that man under the table any day of the week.

This song...OMFG! www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMi1...

Watching Mr. Jones (2013) - a film I've always wanted to see but just never got around to until now; it's interesting to me what a grab-bag of elements it is, which may be part of the reason why critics didn't like it. But I'm liking it so far even though I feel like it's a bit truncated in places.
