ICYMI, I've got a new "Outside the Blue Box" article at @thegeekshow.bsky.social's Patreon - this month, I'm talking about the Matthew Jacobs-penned '80s kiddie-nightmare PAPERHOUSE! It's an interesting one. 🏚️🖍️🔨

Currently writing a Frankenstein movie. Sort of.

As some have pointed out, this will probably end up being less spooky than some of the actual Betty Boop cartoons made in the '30s.

Gen Alpha are apparently talking about how wonderful and perfect the year 2016 was on TikTok, and I can't help but feel like something has gone horribly wrong no matter how you cut it

I love Guillermo del Toro but his FRANKENSTEIN movie ends on a Lord Byron quote, and that says enough in itself. Great gowns, beautiful gowns, though.

On December 1st, get ready for a different kind of ghost story for Christmas. THE ESTROGEN GOSPEL premieres on YouTube at 10AM GMT.

36 people followed me on here whilst I was asleep. Hi folks! Not sure where you came from but hi?

Currently watching MEGAFORCE and it's got me genuinely feeling like I'm having a stroke. Is it actually this incomprehensible to everyone else, or have I lost it?

Word on the street is she's gotten back into Blue Öyster Cult

I would like to acknowledge and celebrate the pillars of our community (60+ year old trans women who look and dress like Agnes Varda)

This has resulted in the most notifications I've received in an hour since joining this site

Currently watching FRANKENSTEIN CREATED WOMAN (1967) and... what the hell is this thing? It's not even in Frankenstein's lab. It's just on the wall of the pub.

All Hallow's Eve has come and gone. The air grows colder. The nights grow darker. Now is the season for ghost stories. 🏳️‍⚧️👻🍂 #comingsoon

Just got my digital @sohohorrorfest.bsky.social pass! As with last year I'll have to fit the films in around my assignments but it's more than worth it.

Not to play favourites (actually, totally to play favourites), but @martinwpayne.bsky.social's FOREVER NIGHT contains what is probably my best performance to date. Very proud of that one. You should watch the others too, but needless to say, the World Premiere of that will be exciting.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT ☠️🩸🏆🏳️‍⚧️ Get ready for a Robyn Adams triple-bill of terror at HORROR-ON-SEA 2026! Catch me in THE WEIRD WORLD OF MOLLY BROWN on Fri 16 Jan, FOREVER NIGHT on Sat 17 Jan (which I intend to be there for) and EXHIBITION OF EVIL on Sat 24th Jan! Tickets available now.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 🧛‍♀️🎃🦇 Last year, @natpearce37.bsky.social invited me to play a very small voice role in a short queer horror film called MORTEM VIVEM which they co-wrote with Jo Vaz Da Costa. It's now available for you all to watch!

NEW REVIEW @thegeekshow.bsky.social 🕸️⚡💅⚗️ Sadomasochism, scientific malpractice, and sweet revenge combine in Jess Franco's THE DIABOLICAL DR. Z (1966) - read here for my thoughts on the new remastered Blu-Ray release from Eureka Entertainment!

CASTING CALL 🏃‍♀️🌲🏃‍♂️ Looking for actors based in the Greater Manchester area for a student micro-short shoot on Monday 3rd November. Please share around if you know anyone who would be interested.

There's an absolutely nuts needle drop early on in THE BLACK PHONE 2 which I won't spoil for anyone who hasn't seen it, but for anyone who recognises the song in the scene - you're gonna have a *great* time.

Really confused as to why Shudder are saying that THE UGLY STEPSISTER is arriving to their platform on November 17th... it's been on their service as an original for the entire year?

NEW REVIEW 🏳️‍⚧️🎓👙 @thegeekshow.bsky.social Read here for my thoughts on SHE'S THE HE, the new trans teen comedy that just premiered at the BFI's London Film Festival. It's very good.

Saw the new NO.9 show and its a crazy achievement. Some of the best stuff I've had the pleasure of experiencing in a while.

There was a short film that played at this year's Grimmfest called MISSING PARTS and, yeah, you should all find means of checking it out ASAP.

Happy birthday to @selenekapsaski.bsky.social! Hope you're having a great one. It's been an incredible year of filming with you.

Ryan Murphy should never have strayed out of goofy, campy, salacious melodrama. That narrative aesthetic can make for good, fun fiction. In true crime, it’s just sensationalism and glorification. The heart and quality of Pose demonstrates he need collaborators with the sensitivities he lacks.

Apparently Ryan Murphy has somehow incorporated "autogynephilia" into his stupid exploitative Ed Gein series and also weirdly seems to not know that Christine Jorgensen was a real person. Because that's where we're at now. Oh joy.

V/H/S/HALLOWEEN's end credits play over a song which, I kid you not, is about a man being tormented by Grimace (the purple McDonalds guy) appearing in his room and smoking weed. I have no clue why this is but it's an incredibly funny choice.

ICYMI, my latest "Outside the Blue Box" article is up on the @thegeekshow.bsky.social Patreon - this month, I tackled DISCIPLE OF DEATH, a deep cut of Brit strangeness featuring Louise Jameson, Rusty Goffe, and the thoroughly fascinating man that was Mike Raven.

THE ESTROGEN GOSPEL will be online by the end of the year. Stay tuned.

My heart goes out to everyone at Heaton Park Synagogue and their families today.

Have been informed that I show up in a post-credits teaser after CASTRATION MOVIE ANTHOLOGY II and it has jumpscared at least one person I know irl

Why the hell is Tony Blair back and why is he turning into Mr. Barlow from SALEM'S LOT

If Ruggero Deodato was still around I would suggest we talk him into making a movie about this guy

Can you believe it guys? Grimmfest, just a week away.

I just watched a fairly slow-burn and largely bloodless horror film where 10-20 minutes from the end a character's head blows up for no explained reason.

It's really fuckin weird seeing some folks spin up the misogyny machine to find reasons to be pissed at Dana Terrace for the 30 minute Knights of Guinevere pilot the same way they did it for Viv with the Hellaverse.

Just saw a post hidden with a content warning that said "Rude".

NEW REVIEW @thegeekshow.bsky.social ♀️🎞️🍌 Read here for my thoughts on the new restoration of Doris Wishman's DILDO HEAVEN, a digital-video mind melter about womens' sexuality and awkward-looking toy monkeys that just screened at Fantastic Fest courtesy of the awesome @muscledistribution.bsky.social!

NEW REVIEW @thegeekshow.bsky.social 👔🧪🌃 Read here for my thoughts on TIE MAN, a home-made Canadian superhero oddity (just shown at Fantastic Fest) that is, beyond anything else, admirably singular.

It's never convenient to be ill but surely my body could've picked better timing than my first week back at uni.

Thank you, Montréal. 🏳️‍⚧️👻✝️🌿

Was watching some episodes of BRASS EYE with my housemate earlier today and, I kid you not, Episode 3 basically outright predicts the Epstein flight logs. Trump and all.

Not to be incredibly forward, but Hiltzik - my DMs are decidedly open. I'm ready to lend my services however they're needed.

Tomorrow. When you're running through the blackness of night through thorns and thick branches, pursued by a thousand vile creaking snapping hungry things, you are nonetheless still running. And that means you're still alive.

The Excitement Of Touching The Eccentric Woodcock On The Back

Let me in the Criterion Closet and I'll put extra films in there. You can best bet there'll be 50 bootleg DVDs of LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM in there once I'm done.
