Slightly diminish a band: Emerson, Pond and Palmer

For this very special episode, Quentin Tarantino returns to the show to talk about his 10 favorite Michael Madsen performances (not from his own films)! A lovely tribute to a great actor! Listen: open.spotify.com/episode/5wPX...

The MASSIVE DAY 2 of #YorkieThon9 is in the history books! Thank you to EVERY guest new and old for helping us raise money to save so many dogs this weekend! But we’re not done yet! One more day of madness tomorrow starting at 9am PT/12pm ET LIVE Ariescope.com and Bloody-Disgusting.com! #YorkieThon9

Surprise! We've made your weekend plans for you: Bloody Disgusting is partnering with The Movie Crypt and hosts @adamgreen.bsky.social & @thejoelynch.bsky.social for their ninth annual "Yorkiethon"! Here's how to watch for FREE and save some pups:

In case any of my fellow creatives also needed this reminder:

NEXT FRIDAY: It’s BACK. YORKIETHON 9 BEGINS. SPECIAL GUESTS. SURPRISES. MUSIC. LIVE COMMENTARIES. ARWEN’S SILENT AUCTION. AND THIS YEAR’S LIVE SCRIPT READ: HALLOWEEN RETURNS. ALL M’F’in LIVE. JOIN US STARTING 5PM PT/8PM ET AT ARIESCOPE.COM AND ON BLOODY-DISGUSTING.COM JOIN US!!! PLEASE RT!

Yesterday we posted about the Trump administration shutting down the LGBTQ+ youth crisis line, the “press 3” option on 988 is officially gone. The Trevor Project is stepping up to help fill the gap, and they could really use some support right now. If you’re able, please consider donating! 🏳️‍🌈 💛

The harshest notes you'll ever get aren't from executives—they're from that voice in your head at 2AM. But treating yourself like you're in a toxic writers room doesn't make your writing better. It just makes you write less. Choose self-compassion over self-cruelty. #scriptsky

YORKIETHON IX LIVE SCRIPT READ! Whenever @daveparker.bsky.social calls about the Yorkiethon, I always drop what I'm doing & dive in. This year is the unproduced HALLOWEEN RETURNS by Melton & Dunstan! Tune in 7/26 at 4pm PST for what should be an all-timer by an outstanding cast!

Lalo Schifrin (June 21, 1932 - June 26, 2025) had a career full of absolute masterpiece film scores, but if I had to pick a favorite, and it's admittedly off-the-radar, I'd probably go with his music for George Lucas' dystopian nightmare, THX 1138. youtu.be/D7qr1QVdPN8?...

HOW TO KILL YOUR CO-WORKERS AND GET AWAY WITH IT is screening TONIGHT (Tues 6/24) at 10pm at the Marina Del Rey Film Festival (in Culver City). It's a dark comedy indie from director Pat Kusnadi & I hope you'll come and check it out! #marinadelreyfilmfestival #HowToKillYourCoWorkersAndGetAwayWithIt

In an alternate universe, circa 1977: "TONIGHT, ON THE ABC SUNDAY NIGHT MOVIE: THE SHINING...STARRING MICHAEL ONTKEAN, SONDRA LOCKE AND JONATHAN SCOTT-TAYLOR."

Back in the day, Savini stated on the record that he felt that the script for FRIDAY 2 had blatantly ripped-off elements from THE BURNING's screenplay...

HOW TO KILL YOUR CO-WORKERS AND GET AWAY WITH IT! Check out the trailer for this dark comedy indie from director Pat Kusnadi, featuring Alisha Erözer, Galen Howard, Michael Pare, Brinke Stevens & yours truly w/a hockey stick. At the Marina Del Rey Film Festival June 24th! ihorror.com/exclusive-fi...

Happy Friday the 13th, and happy birthday, Jason! We're heading to the bottom of Crystal Lake to get to the bottom of a long-standing debate: when did Jason Voorhees become "undead?"

It's a perfect day to re-post my @fangoria.bsky.social video essay about Jason's controversial status as a member of the undead! #fangoria #jasonvoorhees #fridaythe13th www.fangoria.com/friday-the-1...

#Fridaythe13th #CampCrystalLake #NewJersey #fictionalstate

I also wrote about the most important scene in the Friday the 13th franchise a few months ago & thought I should share this as well today as I’m super proud of this piece too: open.substack.com/pub/thehorro... Cheers y’all!!

I told you we’d be back

A great piece on my friend and colleague, Kevin Greutert. JACKALS gets a brief but brutally honest mention (which I can't argue with). www.dreadcentral.com/news/532503/...

From the commentary track: Carpenter: “I still can't decide whether Childs was a creature or not. I cannot decide.” Russell: “There was no way of telling or no way of ever knowing.”

Stanley Kubrick's FULL METAL JACKET (1987) screens in 35mm June 27th - 29th. Tickets: buff.ly/MEDb5RD

"Just so we're clear:" "Uh-huh." "They're invaders." "Okay." "And they snatch bodies." "Got it."

A NIGHTMARE ON RETCON ST-PT 2! The 2nd part of my video essay for #Fangoria is now live! The conclusion of my in-depth look at where the ELM STREET movies are set & why 1428 Elm St is Freddy's home. #NightmareOnElmStreet #wescraven #freddykruegerfans #dreamwarriors #robertenglund #elmstreethouse

Don't Look Now & Invasion of the Body Snatchers '78.

Another amazing Dead Right Horror Trivia Night! Game 133- summer blockbusters, Greg Cannom tribute, nightmare sequences, clowns and more 🖤💀🤓 @jaredrivet.bsky.social @kolleencarney.bsky.social

I was doxxed after suggesting that pirating movies was bad.

Yo, @gabepowers.bsky.social has another rad shirt, with all profits going to Gender/Justice, a Minnesota based mission to advance gender equality and protect LGBTQ+ people. genregrinder-shop.fourthwall.com/products/daw...

So happy to cover this film, from a rad filmmaker who I happen to know is also a rad human! Give it a watch and then listen to our episode on the film! ⬇️

Randomly caught a season 15 episode of THE SIMPSONS, "Bart-Mangled Banner" tonight. I had no memory of it, but this May 2004 episode got more and more terrifyingly May 2025-relevant as it went...

Very cool when people randomly reach out to say they are enjoying something you wrote. Don't be afraid to tell people you enjoy their work, I promise, we don't know. We hope.

Last day of the Indiegogo! Thanks everybody! And it's going til midnight so there's still time to check it out. Anything helps! www.indiegogo.com/projects/liv...

A NIGHTMARE ON RETCON ST: FREDDY'S HOME PART 1! My next video essay for Fangoria, a 2-parter taking a look at *where* the ELM STREET movies are set & *why* 1428 Elm St is Freddy's home. #NightmareOnElmStreet #wescraven #freddykrueger #springwood #dreamwarriors #robertenglund #elmstreethouse

Proud to say that I pop up for about 5 seconds in TENANTS, made by some great folks under true "indie" constraints. Check it out!

I got to kill a bunch of people. (and eat @wolfvanhalen.bsky.social’s band) for Greg Nicotero & Robert Rodriguez! Go check out the new MammothWVH video THE END.

This #AlienDay I'm remembering screenwriter Dan O'Bannon who was dead broke living on his buddy's couch when he wrote a script inspired by his love of sci-fi books and movies, WW2 gremlins, horror comics and even his struggles with Crohn's disease. Without him there is no ALIEN.

"The Woman at the Bar" -- the latest episode of THE ANTIQUARIUM OF SINISTER HAPPENINGS, featuring Alice Kremelberg and yours truly, is currently the number 3 fiction podcast on Apple Podcasts!! #antiquariumofsinisterhappenings

@theantiquarium.bsky.social episode - "The Woman at the Bar" is available NOW on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc! Thrilled to work with Alice Kremelberg on this unsettlingly eerie episode for producer-director Trevor Shand and writer Moe T. #antiquariumofsinisterhappenings #alicekremelberg #audiodrama

The most fun you’ll ever have being scared! CREEPSHOW (1982) screens in 35mm Saturday, May 3rd, at midnight! Tickets: buff.ly/tvYAuDp

A film that takes place where you're from.

Here's what I've learned watching hundreds of writers build careers: The ones who make it stop thinking of scripts as lottery tickets and start seeing writing as a craft worthy of years of dedication. Your 10th script has a much better shot than your first.
