Had the most brilliant time at the National Film Archive of Japan

Thrilled to get my contributor’s copy of this brilliant edited collection. My chapter analyses online racist (anti-)fan cultures’ toxic conspiracies of ‘blackwashing’ directed at Black actors cast in Western screen media, which perpetuates white victimhood.

Thrilled to get my contributor’s copy of The Nightmare Before Christmas edited collection. I wrote about three of my favourite things: horror, media audiences… and food!

Three upcoming special screenings curated and hosted by our brilliant third-year Media, Culture and Journalism students as part of their Curation, Exhibition & Events module. These events are autism-friendly relaxed screenings.

A wonderful trip with our third year Media, Culture and Journalism students to Bristol to visit the @wshed.bsky.social A huge thanks to Steph Read and Maddy Probst for the tour and their session on film programming and curation. Great to catch a screening of Mickey 17 too!

BIG new release, all dressed in Black. #OxfordUP's latest handbook is all about horror noire, with a global scope. Still aca-priced, so set your librarian to work! Eds. @robinmeanscoleman.bsky.social + Novotny Lawrence + a huge cast of writing talent. global.oup.com/academic/pro...

New for @inlovewithhorror.bsky.social “Only about 5.3% of books are written by Black authors, even less by Black women.” inlovewithhorror.com/blogs/news/2... #blackbooksky #horrorsky #horrorbooks #blackhorrorsky

In the wake of the death of David Lynch, those inspired to write about his signature real-as-surreal style should check out our blog. We've pulled together 75+ books & essays about Lynch and his films that are **FREE** to read and/or download. #davidlynch #openaccess horrorlex.com/blog/david-l...

382 films watched in 2024. A new high score for me. Highlights were watching Black Christmas on the big screen, revisiting Bong Joon-Ho’s body of work, and Perfect Days.

I had the best time talking to Mike about these monster movie cult classics!

👀Voting opens for SXSW London panels tomorrow! Black & Brown voices are missing in horror—as creators & critics. Systemic barriers limit our ability to shape the genre. Jordan Peele can't be our only way in! Let’s amplify marginalized voices & demand real change. Representation matters. #SXSWLondon
