Parenting is very much like a kid outta nowhere saying “we thought you was a toad.” Same lil dude, same.

Sad News from the Cabin: Our Scream Queen Kenzi is gone. In a manner befitting our horror-loving friend, she passed away the morning of Friday the 13th. We will remember her always for her smile, her laugh, and her heart. Her last recorded episode, also our final episode, will be posted soon.

"Here we believe in standing up for those we love, whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women Trump has fired, a single mom waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with your back against the wall. Your struggle is ours too."

"Sir, this is a [HOWLING OF MILLIONS OF DEMONS OF HELL]."

Before you start to argue about the word’s other meanings…..please look at your arms and reconcile with the fact that you may not be an expert on anti-Black terms…. Marginalized groups do NOT need your “well actually”

After watching Presence once… “What if all intuition is, that nudge, is a whisper from ourselves as inevitable ghosts? … anyone?” Can confirm sleep deprivation thoughts sound high af

Resident Alien is a perfect show, amazing series finale, sweet & silly with a little raunchy sci-fi about love & kindness & humanity & I want the entire box set now.

Them: Cosmic destiny doesn’t exist!! Me: … did you know Kevin Williamson was from an area called CRAVEN county??

My longtime theory for THE BEAR is each season depicts a stage of grief. S1 - Denial S2 - Anger S3 - Bargaining S4 - Depression S5 - ??? (Note: grief stages aren’t linear & we cycle through them which only makes the cyclical nature of maintaining a restaurant an even more potent idea.)

Love Island but all the ladies are from different covens plz

The only complete success is NOPE, which is of course concerned with different things and structurally quite distinct, which is the best way to pay homage

They are giving out samples of lube at this #BrokebackMountain 20th anniversary event and whoever had that idea deserves a MASSIVE raise.

Do I like Seth Rogen? When did this happen??

“I loved and supported Aaron as my son, and now I love and support Airyn as my daughter. I don’t know what the big deal is . . . I love all my children.” Robert De Niro (81)

While the final season of 'You' may not satisfy all its fans, it's an admirable enough send-off for the hit Netflix series. Read Cass Clarke's review on Dread Central.

Ok hear me out… what if John Wick 5 is the Constantine sequel we didn’t know we needed??? Dante-themed set pieces. Devil’s Advocate callbacks. Connie Nielsen can punch someone again. Charlize is an Old Guard of hell. Let’s fight John’s way back to the mortal realm

This is a very on-brand must-know/must-see pop culture byte for me.

How did no one tell me that the Equalizer is a Denzel horror movie supporting worker rights for Home Depot & sex workers??? Mad at you all

Watching The White Lotus S3 is an EXPERIENCE for me because my college ex bf moved to Thailand after I broke his heart (arguably, deserved - albeit, savage) to find himself & my OTHER ex turned drinking buddy followed & now they’re besties there in beach polos & married (tho sadly not to each other)

I swear I’m gonna shut up at some point today BUT I’m fucking proud of this new thing over at @dreadcentral.bsky.social. Huge thanks to @cassclarke.bsky.social for listening to my podcasts and alerting me that I said something interesting in my tipsy rants. www.dreadcentral.com/editorials/5...

hard to believe that our public institutions are suddenly behaving in a manner that many many people have been warning is the logical endpoint of a capitalist government for a hundred years

Hate self promo , but super proud of T Blockers, a trans hangout/horror film I made when I was 17 w no money that played my dream festivals & is now a SHUDDER exclusive & on Bluray. A personal film that feels scarily more relevant now then when we shot it, word of mouth is everything 🥹

Black History month is here!! Looking for some horror movie/TV recs made by Black filmmakers &/or starring Black leads??? Let’s gooooo -HIS HOUSE -VAMPIRES VS. THE BRONX -INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (tv show) -SISSY -MA (still needs a franchise plz) -GOOD MADAM -NANNY -THE BLACKENING

I’m gonna be a great parent. Adding this to their bookshelf in the nursery — got those contrast colors!! 😂

Since the current administration wants to use DEI to peddle racism, let’s remember that white women benefited the most from those programs. And once again, they overwhelming voted against themselves. www.levelman.com/why-white-wo...

This is so goddamn funny

THELMA!!! Easily one of the best comedies in the last decades. Best comedy this year too.

Everything I’m hearing about PRESENCE makes me think it’s giving LAKE MUNGO vibes or possibly THE HOUSE AT THE END OF TIME & I’m here for either/both/everything.

Smile 2 ruined me being able to gulp down my 32 oz water bottle in one long drink without commentary

Ok, I spent my morning with my spouse learning what is a “hot cross buns” song & it just gets funnier each time I hear it… I’m not gonna be allowed at recitals because I can’t stop laughing at the idea of a choir of kids talking about 🍑🍑🍑… challah bread is right there! Crossed & twisted & delicious

I’m sorry but I just saw Dev Patel twist a dagger 🗡️ into a villain’s neck with his teeth 🥵🥵🥵 I slept on MONKEY MAN for too long. Not perfect, has some pacing issues, but gorgeous fights (staging works, inventive environmental awareness, & blend of martial arts styles) & I want more, Dev!!!

So here's what's cool about my job: Yesterday morning I said, "We really ought to have TWIN PEAKS available." So then a bunch of people scrambled, worked really hard, and now you can watch every episode of David Lynch & Mark Frost's original series for free on Pluto TV: pluto.tv/us/on-demand...

Well, it might be time I finally hit play on THE FIRST OMEN… if I can watch this, then I truly know I’m ready to start researching “ways baby could exit my body in the coming month(s)…”

Pregnancy is wild because your 4AM thoughts are next level. Last night, me to myself: Member when your 8th grade gym teacher made RHODE ISLAND teens learn line dancing to Madonna’s “Hey, Mr. DJ…” song. Was she a gay all along? What a missed opp…

Wow I double featured SING SING with THE LAST SHOWGIRL & it was the best. Highly recommend. No notes.

My biggest 2024 film year critique is for filmmakers to know when they have a short film idea stretching into a feature… plz don’t sacrifice character development for visuals. 😭

After at least 20 appointments, scans, tests (some that will make great horror material for my novel in progress), & uncertainty, I’m happy to announce I’m bringing another healthily weird being to this planet. Enjoy the creepy vibes they’re already bringing 😂

Boy, I’ve been disappointed in films this year — 2024 is not hitting for me — but ANORA & A DIFFERENT MAN have been the two exceptions so far. Phenomenally sharp, funny, & unique.

*taps mic* … whoops! I forgot to redownload the app after I got my replacement phone a couple of months ago, so catching up to follows & messages … odds are you’re delightfully weird still!
