This totally stemmed from a different conversation, but for some reason I was imagining Frankenstein's creature giving Guillermo del Toro uppies like a cat. 😭🤣💖💖💖💖✨️✨️✨️✨️ #frankenstein #gdt (what's wrong with me LOL)

Still a lot of work to do on it, but the current FAIRY DUST edit is 112 minutes. Not too bad. #filmsky

Brad's out there killing it with THE GREY LIST, and 2026 will likely be another hit as well. For 2025, my splatter horror-comedy DOOMTOWN made the list. If you're interesting in reading what might be my own personal favorite script, you can request a read here: www.bradmjohnson.com/the-grey-lis...

Still pushing this one through post. Currently banging away on the VFX and score. Can’t wait to u leash this one on the festival circuit in 2026.

Currently in the murky waters that is editing, which is both fun and frustrating. Also still raising money to help cover production and post expenses. We're £260 away from our £7500 stretch goal. Indie filmmaking, as always, needs all the help it can get. Details: tinyurl.com/FairyDustKS

Very much into it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xgp7...

Trapdoor spider, oils, sold Time to repost this one ;)

Filmmaking is glamorous: this morning's editing session has me searching out "peeing in bush sfx" on YouTube.

Love this movie.

From our very first shoot day on FAIRY DUST, shooting one of our last shots of the film. Seems so long ago, now. #scriptsky #filmsky

This year, I'm nominating THE HOLE IN THE WORLD to The Grey List 2026. If you've read, and enjoyed, this weirdo folk horror story, please consider giving it a nomination as well. And if you'd LIKE to read it, let me know! I'll put all the info you need for the nomination below. #scriptsky #filmsky

Query emails to production companies can work as Plan B, but keep them to 7 sentences max. Include: polite opening, killer logline, why you're reaching out to them specifically. That last part matters - it proves this isn't a form letter blast. #scriptsky

Research time: What are some of your favorite movie trailers? Particularly for indie films. And why? Is it the music? The content? How clever it is? #filmsky

"Recently, an art piece that I co-created over 30 years ago with my then-partner, musician Perry Farrell of Jane’s Addiction, was unearthed from a storage facility, after apparently being misplaced by the band’s management." I Watched One of the Biggest Bands of the '90s Erase Me from Their Story:

I don't understand people being grumpy that the film isn't attempting more fealty to the novel. If you want that, READ THE NOVEL. It's awesome. I wanted Guillermo del Toro's FRANKENSTEIN and that film is inescapably Guillermo del Toro's FRANKENSTEIN.

Experimenting with impasto techniques in acrylic gouache [ #sketch ]

Love this movie.

Take me with you 🫀 man the chokehold this movie has on me #frankenstein

Day 5! #xenovember I wanted to color it, but ran out of time. Very definitely inspired by @cartoonbeardy.bsky.social s day 4 piece! #darkart

It's 20 years since @seanphillips.bsky.social and I exchanged a sketchbook back and forth in the mail, a drawn &painted call and response. INTERSECTIONS may be out of print but here is a flip through that sketchbook. You can still find the book out there :)

Surely the people of Halloween can rally together to support a bookstore called THE TWISTED SPINE that sells HORROR books? gofund.me/96586c695

For Halloween last night, Sophie and I did our annual re-watch of Panos Cosmatos’ MANDY. So much inspiration inside that film. We both spent the entire watch time dissecting the film’s craft for things we might consider doing with FAIRY DUST.

Thrilled to receive a message today letting me know that THE HOLE IN THE WORLD, my weirdo cosmic folk horror haunted house tale, has received two industry read requests this week. Much love to Ash, @shaunajoy.bsky.social and the entire Dead List crew for all their hard work on this project!

We have ONE limited edition replica of the villainous Rex-Imperator mask left! This gorgeous beast of a mask comes fully painted and autographed by myself and sculptor Jason Rosen. Want to get your hands on the last one? Get it here: tinyurl.com/FairyDustKS

Day 2 of #xenovember Weird in 3…2…1 #hrgiger #horror #horrorart #darkart #artchallenge #bskyart #digitalart

JACOB’S LADDER was released on this day in 1990 #horror #filmsky

FYI: Melting faces, exploding test subjects, and diet cola: Inside the gory wrap segment of V/H/S/HALLOWEEN with director Bryan M. Ferguson.

Shudder is streaming DEPRAVED, Larry Fessenden's criminally underrated retelling of Frankenstein. Working with a small budget, he focusses on the characters rather than horror or spectacle. The two leads, David Call as the doctor and Alex Breaux as the creature, deliver excellent performances.

Introduced Sophie to this one tonight. Fulci does dark fantasy! “One of the haziest films of all time.”

Full gremlin mode. This film ain’t gonna edit itself!
