A full day of doing nothing but watching movies would fix me. #filmsky

THE SUBSTANCE (2024) Hagsploitation body horror meets the very real terror of aging, as a woman, in our youth-obsessed society. Absolutely incredible. #filmsky #horror #thesubstance

Ouch. This one cuts to the bone.

Bite-sized reads for the spooky season! turningpageswithcait.substack.com/p/short-stor... #booksky #bookblog #halloween

Poor taste, but make it spooky. At least, that's what this list is looking like lately. Any suggestions to watch for October? letterboxd.com/caitdoescont... #filmsky @letterboxd.social #halloween

Always exciting to chat with filmmakers. Passion, vision, and a good dash of the ridiculous are basically a guarantee. simplycinema.substack.com/p/bad-haircu... #filmsky #interview #badhaircut

Highly effective horror with the added bonus of making me weep and squeeze my own doglet until she pried herself free of my arms and gave me a look. #GoodBoy is phenomenal. simplycinema.substack.com/p/good-boy-r... #filmsky #horror #review

Fascinating year for women on film at Fantastic Fest! Female rage, agency, bodies, and gendered horror rose to the top, as my most memorable and enjoyed watches. simplycinema.substack.com/p/top-5-watc... #filmsky #simplycinema #fantasticfest

Boosting for awareness! If you attended Fantastic Fest, test and do your best to isolate!

I need more cool cinephiles to follow on @letterboxd.social! Drop 'em here! And witness my own, carefully documented, bad taste: letterboxd.com/CaitDoesCont... #filmsky #movies #letterboxd

#OneBattleAfterAnother balances the hilarious and absurd with the kind of political commentary that sucker punches you in the gut. To call it timely is a massive understatement. 7/10 #filmsky #review

From #FantasticFest - Chris Stuckmann's Shelby Oaks works because it feels every bit like a “by horror fans, for horror fans” experience. Read our review:

it's important to have role models!!!

Me waiting for a very specific #ShelbyOaks discourse to arrive... (I won't dare spoil it) #filmsky #fantasticfest

This series is 1000% responsible for creating little horror nut Cait.

So close.

Day three of #FantasticFest in your 30s... #filmsky

SCREAM was lighting in a bottle, in every conceivable way. @ashleycullins.bsky.social does a phenomenal job telling that story AND connecting to the very unique psyche of horror lovers. Essential for genre devotees. turningpageswithcait.substack.com/p/book-revie... #filmsky #booksky #scream

It's #LatinxHeritageMonth, so now's the perfect time to acquaint yourself with the many amazing Latine/x authors and stories out there. In my list for @thesecretlantern.bsky.social, I made sure to grab a little something for everyone! www.thesecretlantern.com/blog/celebra... #booksky #bookrecs

I read a lot of horror and thrillers. I don't "spook" easy. But these books had twists that were ACTUALLY gasp-worthy! turningpageswithcait.substack.com/p/8-books-wi... #turningpageswithcait #booksky #bookrecs

THE HIGH DIVE is a truly *adult* summer romance. Sleek, sophisticated, and so, so sexy. My review: turningpageswithcait.substack.com/p/book-revie... #booksky #thehighdive #romancereader

Another year, another thread of my #FantasticFest coverage. 2025, I'm ready for you. #critic #filmfestival #filmsky

Disappointing for who, exactly?

Cursed sea monsters, a pirate crew made up entirely of witches, and lovers' bonds across the plane of dreams have @evaleigh.bsky.social's THE SEA WITCH spilling over the confines of genre convention. My review: turningpageswithcait.substack.com/p/book-revie... #booksky #theseawitch #romance

A thread of everything I'm reading in September 📚🧡🍂 #booksky #reading

CLUELESS (1995) There's still a part of me that aspires to rock head-to-toe tartan like this. #filmsky #autumn #movies

LITTLE WOMEN (2019) Dir. Greta Gerwig Because nothing says autumn like leather bound books, New England, ink-stained fingers, and the warmth of home. #autumn #filmsky #nowwatching

CELTIC MYTHOLOGY (from the team at #CandlelitTales) is a delightful, approachable folklore guide for readers of all ages. A fun, beautifully illustrated addition to any shelf. My review: turningpageswithcait.substack.com/p/book-revie... #booksky #celticmythology #folklore #turningpageswithcait

Sunsetted summer to the tune of bright musicals and a slight turn towards the creepy autumnal watches I'm yearning for. My film diary for August 2025! simplycinema.substack.com/p/film-diary... #filmsky #simplycinema #movies

Bookish joy + indie love = our kind of night 💛 As new booksellers on the scene, we were blown away by how kind, generous, and welcoming everyone was. Thank you for opening your hearts to a cozy little newcomer like us — we’re so excited to keep connecting & collaborating with this amazing community

#CaughtStealing lives at the "golden ratio" of popcorn cinema, Hollywood glitterati, and slick storytelling. My review: simplycinema.substack.com/p/caught-ste... #filmreview #filmsky #simplycinema

“She thinks I’m a fascist? I don’t control the railways or the flow of commerce.”

Got a sexy new look over on Simply Cinema! simplycinema.substack.com #filmsky #newsletter #filmreviews

Finally catching up with this. As a total newb to the games, the concept, all of it:

The tightness in my chest that I get watching the #GoodBoy trailer. I can't wait to see it. My stress levels will be through the roof. #filmsky #horror

Films may be the direct result of their time and place, but as an art form they have the luxury of constantly evolving with audience perspectives. #SleepawayCamp has a lot to say, and we should listen. simplycinema.substack.com/p/a-2025-rea... #filmsky #horror #summerofslasher

So in books, as in life, there really is someone for everyone. @thesecretlantern.bsky.social team is sharing their favorite romance reads, over on the blog! www.thesecretlantern.com/blog/the-sec... #romancereader #booksky #thesecretlantern

Wrapping up my last couple of essays for my 2025 #SummerofSlasher column. In a summer where I was QUITE short on time, it was fun to explore a few films from my favorite subgenre! letterboxd.com/caitdoescont... #simplycinema #horror #filmsky

The published editions of #SuitorArmor is putting pure magic into the hands of readers. Volume Three is a pivotal point in the series -- no turning back now! My review: turningpageswithcait.substack.com/p/review-sui... #booksky #webtoon #romantasy

What a lineup! Counting down the days til #FantasticFest2025!

LET'S GOOOOOOOOO

More adorable animal sidekicks in our crime capers, please. #CaughtStealing was a blast. #filmsky

#WhatHunger stacks its plate high with heavy themes of political violence, abuse, and generational trauma. To the point that the gristle and bone of actual gory horror feels like a garnish to a much weightier meal. turningpageswithcait.substack.com/p/book-revie... #booksky #bookreview

a thread of everything I'm reading in august. ☀️💗📕 #booksky #summer #reading

There's so much more to romance than your mom's paperback bodice rippers (though those are abundant and SO fun to read). For #ReadaRomanceMonth, I put together a list of cross-genre spice for every reader! turningpageswithcait.substack.com/p/romance-re... #booksky #romancereader

The WTF factor in #Weapons is really what makes it. simplycinema.substack.com/p/weapons-re... #filmsky #horror #review

WEAPONS is a film that understands, at the molecular level, what it is to be uncomfortable, how that discomfort turns to tension, and where tension snaps into terror and hysteria. I dug it. simplycinema.substack.com/p/weapons-re... #filmsky #weaponsmovie #review

Post a female character you love 💗 Samara Weaving as Grace Le Domas

Cinema belongs to HER, this year. Period. #juliagarner #filmsky

It is an absolute delight to be completely taken surprise by a film. WEAPONS was totally unexpected, in every way. In its arsenal: unease, uncertainty, and unpredictable twists. #weaponsmovie #filmsky #horror #review
