Leaving the Alamo Drafthouse is going to feel like a breakup. I’ve been going there on a weekly basis for 16 years. If they don’t change course on this stupidity it’s over. I have an afs membership, but where show I go for new releases? Not holding my breath on them changing their mind.

I read 24 books this year and met my reading goal! Big surprise, it was nothing but horror.

Can someone tell me if this is a romance with some horror elements or a horror story with romantic elements. Cause I’m only reading horror right now but some romance is fine, the fact that it’s queer would be a bonus. #allofusmurderers

The projector went down at the one night only showing of Two Sleepy People and this really sucks.

Do you think the SNL writers were running around doing last minute rewrites of the cold open and trying to find Darrell Hammon?

Been looking forward to this all year. @jennykiefer.com

Went to the ophthalmologist, got my eyes dilated, came home, watched They Live wearing sunglasses. As God intended. #horrorsky

Pixies in Austin with favorite cousin.

Don’t give me hope and take it away.

Was picking up something at @weluvvideo.bsky.social and having a nice talk with the person behind the counter. Someone left a VHS in the bathroom of a four hour long experimental horror movie. My first thought is ‘this is how horror movies start’ and my second is I much watch this. #horrorsky

This is pretty fucking cool. @sgj.bsky.social @austinfilm.bsky.social

At @austinfilm.bsky.social watching @sgj.bsky.social do a King podcast after we all just watched Silver Bullet. And that’s the coolest statement I will make all year. #horrorsky

Hello #Horrorsky Happy Priday the 13th from Jason Voorhees on his special day today on #Fridaythe13th ❤️🏑🌈🚂

Had never read the term “unalive” outside of the internet, and I hate it. I get that it’s part of the culture at the moment but it’s completely due to advertisers wanting to sanitize the internet. We don’t need to help it along.

I did not know what to expect from The Staircase in the Woods but around one hundred pages in its turned into one of my favorite horror tropes and I’m so happy.

Just got to chapter 25 of @chuckwendig.bsky.social Staircase in the woods and holy shit holy shit holy shit.

Way to play mind games, @bookpeople.bsky.social

Also, I saw this really sweet display on books where the house is a character — think House of Leaves— and the next time I walked past it was gone.

Picked these two up at @bookpeople.bsky.social yesterday.

Kiersten White is taking my damn emotions on a rollercoaster. Me thinking that one character died: 😭😭😭. Me a few pages later: 🥺🥳🥰.

Okay about a third into Hide and yes, Kiersten White is so good at suspense and making me care about her characters. I love it, I need her to write more horror.

Currently reading @kierstenwhite.bsky.social Loved Mister Magic, so expecting to love this one too.

Went through Vandermeer’s Annihilation so fast I forgot to talk about it here. I usually hate seeing the movie then reading the book, but I’m okay with it in this case. The book was amazing in a different way.

#CurrentlyReading Wounds : Six Stories From The Border Of Hell by Nathan Ballingrud. Two stories in and can already tell this is going to be something special. 😃 📚📚📚 #booksky

About halfway through This Wretched Valley and apparently Jenny Kiefer has a new book coming out this year! And it’s called Crafting for Sinners, which is the icing.

Why the hell did Wallen just wander off stage toward the camera at goodnights instead of staying on homebase with the cast like every other musical guest in history? #SNL

I was maybe fifty pages in to Incidents Around the House, thinking maybe everyone was just wrong about scary it was, when I threw the book about two feet in the air. Just finished and it was such a scary time.

Well worth the wait. #criterioncloset

Damn they interviewed me #criterioncloset

*sweats*

In line for the Criterion Closet

Have not been keeping up with documenting but my reading but! Just finished Clown in a Cornfield and saw this at sxsw

I haven’t watched Postcards from the Edge since, you know. God, this is torture. So good but terrible to watch.

“How can you talk about books at a time like this?” “Because if I don’t talk about books, I’m gonna talk about murder and I’d rather rather go on book tour than go to prison. Also, fascists hate books, especially those written by people like me. So books, motherfucker. ALL THE BOOKS.”

Finally saw Heart Eyes and loved it. A very traditional slasher flic. Was very happy to see @devonsawa.bsky.social but knew immediately he was gonna bite it. I love you, man, you’re the Sean Bean of horror.

Task I’ve been putting off for a month took five minutes. Hmm.

Just watched this masterpiece and dear God I need to sit down. Slowly making my way through Tarkovsky’s catalog and damn.

Taking solace in this pretty scene today.

Happy to see there’s a #booksky now. I just started John Dies in the End and so far I love it. The plot is great but I also love how dated it is, like you can smoke in a Denny’s.

Done with TikTok after the political drama and obvious ass kissing this morning but now Snoop? I’ve loved him almost my whole life.

Taking my parents to see Clue at Bass. This is my best impression of Mrs White. Flames on the side of my face not shown.

This movie was amazingly campy and fun. I really want to pet the little actor rat, best acting by a rat in a movie ever.

Why, yes, I have heard the news about Anita Bryant.

This is up next. The cover is giving Event Horizon vibes.

Really enjoyed My Best Friend’s Exorcism! Very lighthearted and fun, compared to what I was expecting. Not a complaint, since I just finished a very spooky horror and next up is claustrophobic (?) space horror.

Trying to keep the book momentum going. Next up is My Best Friend’s Exorcism by @gradyhendrix.bsky.social Loved Horrorstore, so this should be a treat.

My goal for the new year is to read at least two books per month. I’m off to a strong start— I finished We Used to Live Here in three days. I loved it and I need at least three more books in this world. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a book journal app?
