Next #FolkHorrorFriday, we are watching GRETEL AND HANSEL by Oz Perkins. Not my favorite Perkins film, but I'm eager to revisit the striking visuals. 9pm ET. Free to stream on Tubi.

This is a really good movie if you haven’t seen it, I recommend

Less than an hour until we start HATCHING (2022) for #FolkHorrorFriday. We start streaming on Tubi at 9pm ET. Make sure you are watching the Finnish film (there's another movie with the same name)

Black folk horror for Black History Month with BLACULA (1972) and SCREAM BLACULA SCREAM (1973). The vampire has long been a symbol for rich feeding on poor, but Blacula neatly tweaks the formula to tackle white exploitation of Black bodies. William Marshall brings a commanding screen presence.

Tonight see what hatches on #FolkHorrorFriday

Tonight!

Watch movie. Listen to our episode from the early days. cinepunx.com/the-carnage-...

Tomorrow! 9pm ET, we watch HATCHING (2022) for #FolkHorrorFriday. Free to stream on Tubi!

More Black American folk horror for Black history month. Candyman (1992) made Tony Todd an icon, and with Candyman (2021), Nia DaCosta made history as the first Black woman director to debut a film at number one at the US box office.

Join us next #FolkHorrorFriday for THE HATCHING! 9pm ET, free to stream on Tubi.

Thank you all so much! What a movie, eh? After you've sat with this for a few minutes and are ready to be cheered up again, maybe I present this song from Rachel Bloom? #FolkHorrorFriday

I thought that I was hungry for love Maybe I was just hungry for blood Sea foam woman on the shore #FolkHorrorFriday 🎧 youtu.be/R2NR-UHH1KE?...

I know it already came up, but let me encourage everyone who hasn't seen it yet to watch THE UGLY STEPSISTER. Beautiful and sinister and brutal and very satisfying to the final frame. The European women directors retelling the fairy tales are killing it. #FolkHorrorFriday

Ready for #FolkHorrorFriday. We're watching The Lure (2015), a Polish musical about mermaids.

This is such a great movie!!!

Three more hours until The Lure for #FolkHorrorFriday!

It's Black History month, and while folk horror from a Black American perspective can be a bit sparse, there are several works (films and books) that I'd like to highlight over the next few weeks. First up, a classic: Bill Gunn's 1973 take on vampire lore, GANJA & HESS.

Tonight! 9pm ET! Free to stream on Tubi! #FolkHorrorFriday

Oh my god all of these are so good. THE HATCHING is seriously a no-miss, like you absolutely must watch this movie. GRETEL AND HANSEL may be my least favorite Perkins movie and it’s still better than every other American horror movie ever made—and visually sumptuous. SUMPTUOUSSSSSS.

!!! The Lure!!! Gretel and Hansel!!! 😍

As always, the movie is available on Tubi, and we'll start streaming at 9pm ET tomorrow. Tag your posts with #FolkHorrorFriday.

I am very excited to revisit THE LURE (2015) with you all tomorrow night, a wonderful and gnarly Polish musical about mermaids.

Highly recommend HORROR NOIRE: A HISTORY OF BLACK HORROR on Shudder. Great documentary that will make you despair for how much incredible talent we've missed out on due to racist gatekeeping and biased storytelling in the film industry.

It's Fairy Tale February on #FolkHorrorFriday. The lineup: 2/6 THE LURE 2/13 THE HATCHING 2/20 GRETEL AND HANSEL 2/27 THE HALLOW All movies are free to stream on Tubi. We start at 9pm ET every Friday and post using the hashtag.

#BuyMyBooks: HELICOPTER PARENTING IN THE AGE OF DRONE WARFARE. This sci-fi/horror bad boy is out of print. But you can get signed copies from yours truly. US readers use the link here, everyone else DM for shipping info. 29 copies left. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Love love love this found footage mockumentary. If you're a regular for #FolkHorrorFriday, don't miss it. It plays out like a cross between The First 48 and The X-Files.

Just a few minutes until we press play on Howard's Mill #FolkHorrorFriday

Just an hour and a half until #FolkHorrorFriday!

If you're in the UK, Rabbit Trap hits theaters this Friday, January 30. Recommended if you're interested in folk horror, the fae, hauntology, and things of that nature. A totally trippy time, starring Dev Patel and Rosy McEwen. Here's the trailer:

One of the best folk horrors in years!

The first issue of Crossroads is really coming together. I knew it would happen, but seeing it actually happen feels incredible. Can't wait to get this out into the world.

Hello, #FolkHorrorFriday watchers. Unfortunately, the movie I had planned for this Friday (Cropsey) is no longer on Tubi. In keeping with our docu-mocku-found footage theme, I might suggest SATAN WANTS YOU (a doc I have not seen) as an alternative. I'll make more suggestions in the replies:

Ready for #FolkHorrorFriday?

Right after Butterfly Kisses ends tonight (around 10:30 ET), I plan to watch Mother of Flies, the latest @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social movie. Won't be posting along as I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but you're welcome to do the same if you've got Shudder.

One more hour!

There's still time to donate and get your invite to join this virtual event with the director of RABBIT TRAP (2025). Folk horror! Dev Patel! Dig it! Details in thread below.

For the @avclub.com, I wrote about *that* scene in 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE, strongmen getting the symbols they co-opt thrown back in their faces, and how sometimes the most metal thing to do is help someone else. www.avclub.com/28-years-lat...

Don't forget! This is Saturday, January 24th. Read the thread for details on joining the watch party.
