Finished Ash vs. Evil Dead. Groovy.

Happy All Hallow’s Eve! I got the three #EWAF prints from Jason Edmiston that I wanted in today’s drop. The red variant of Frigga/One Eye went quickly.

Tonight’s theatrical double feature consisted of a 60-year old ghost story and a brand new ghost story. Both are terrific.

I finished the 100 Horror Movies in 92 Days Challenge today. I typically don’t like anything that dictates what I watch, as recreational time can feel like a chore, but this was fun to do and drove me to seek out horror movies I hadn’t seen. #Letterboxd #100HorrorMoviesin92Days boxd.it/NbLSe

Sometimes the default poster on Letterboxd really is the best poster.

Frankenstein (2025) isn’t showing theatrically in my State. 😞

My recent #Letterboxd activity is looking festive. 🎃 boxd.it/eRUF

Happy Birthday to R.L. Stine! The Goosebumps and Fear Street series furthered my love of reading and helped me along the path to the horror-loving adult I am today. I read the pictured books as a teen but am going to reread them later this month.

Having a Canines of Horror double feature at the movies with Good Boy and Coyotes. The goodest boy and the baddest boys.

I wish Trick ‘r Treat was playing theatrically near me next week.

My watch for this October’s Hunter’s Moon is Cry of the Werewolf, which sadly lacks a full moon. Leaves rustled behind me while I stood outside looking up at it, and I was certain my family would be telling the police tomorrow “he died for those mediocre photos” between sobs.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year when streaming apps have dedicated Halloween sections. I’m disappointed that HBO Max doesn’t have one this year. MGM+ has a single row but at least it’s something.

@letterboxd.social I decorated last night. 🔪🎃 boxd.it/eRUF

It appears Mad Monster’s cancelled their Atlanta convention. It’s been missing from their site for months, and they updated dates for their other cons through July 2026. I hope it returns and is set away from Days of the Dead Atlanta and Dragon Con so it sees all of the success it deserves.

It’s nice of Apple to offer the iPhone 17 Pro Max in Auburn colors. War Eagle! 🦅

The three @amctheatres.bsky.social locations relatively near me aren’t participating in screening A Nightmare on Elm Street, Candyman, Scream, Friday the 13th, and Terrifier that many locations are showing next month. 😞

I got in the presale waiting room for Ariana Grande concert tickets before they went on sale but they sold out before I had the chance to purchase. Another date opened and I was in that waiting room before they went on sale and, again, all seats were gone. It’s just a concert I am not meant to see.

I finally got around to creating a Halloween playlist of my favorite songs to listen to during the season. No skips. open.spotify.com/playlist/0cG...

Without downloading any new images, where are you mentally?

I used to be great at keeping up with concert tours and knowing when tickets go on sale. Nowadays, I’m late to every tour announcement and tickets are sold out by the time I’m aware. Latest case in point: Sombr. I love his stuff and all dates near me are sold-out. 👴🏻

The Prom Night series is one of the few horror franchises that my ranking coincides with the order of their releases.

I watched Godzilla at @clovercapri.bsky.social tonight. I’m thankful to have the chance to see classics on the big screen so close to home.

Never forget Louisville.

I read today that Bob Elmore passed. He played Leatherface in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 whenever Leatherface held the chainsaw. I’m sad that I never met him, but happy that I got this auto in a BAM! Box years ago.

I used all four of my AMC A-List reservations this week for the first time. The alternating categories just worked out that way. It was a great week!

That’s a wrap on season one of Ash vs. Evil Dead. So good. So campy. So gory.

The pineapple crown I propagated has come back from the brink of death! I assumed the propagation died months ago after planting, but today I noticed new leaves as I went to throw it away.

📆 New month = new streaming guide. Here is all of the horror coming to streaming services this month. What are you adding to your watchlist?

The newly revealed Jason Voorhees design is bland but the mask is atrocious. Jason looked his best bald and obviously deformed in a button-up: this look ditches all of those things. I hope Horror Inc. does what Sega pulled with Sonic and redesigns him before this iteration goes any further.

Rest in peace to a real one: Morris, the star of ALLIGATOR and many other motion pictures, has died at (at least) 80 years of age.

Friday the 13th released 45 years ago today. In honor of this anniversary, here’s my ranking of one of my favorite horror franchises.

The NEA Stepped Back...We Need You to Step Up Read our response to the NEA funding withdrawal below. Support Sidewalk at sidewalkfest.com/support.

I sometimes stumble upon horror merchandise, like the Squirm novelization or a 6-piece set of Spookies pins, that I’m shocked exists.

Fabio Frizzi, the composer to such movies as Zombie, City of the Living Dead, The Beyond, etc. is performing a live composer’s cut of the Zombie score near me next week. I picked up this comic for him to hopefully sign. www.fabiofrizzi.com/events

I surpassed 1,000 logged films in my #Letterboxd Diary today.

I’m thankful I saw Thunderbolts* this afternoon because I caught major spoilers on social media not long after getting home. Counting previews on Thursday, it’s only been out four days. 😵‍💫

It was about time I became a member of the Capri Theatre. I should have done it years ago.

Birmingham’s been getting great theatrical horror releases like Hell of a Summer, Freaky Tales, Screamboat, etc., while the theaters around me have been sorely lacking in this department. So, I’m very happy to see that the Chantilly AMC in Montgomery starts showing The Ugly Stepsister tomorrow.

Came across a “Die Young” remix today that I had never heard, and just like that, I was transported to 2012. Love it.

Looks like I’ll be attending my 4th @kesharose.bsky.social tour this summer fresh off my 40th birthday. Yippee-ki-yay!

I stayed awake for the entire #thelastdrivein show today. 🏆 Intruder and In a Violent Nature were the selections for an older slasher and a new slasher, respectively. Both were rewatches for me, but I always love hearing what Joe Bob and Darcy have to say.

My favorite horror genre gets all the love tonight at #thelastdrivein. I’m getting ready to watch Ultimate Slasher Night on with @therealjoebob123.bsky.social and @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social. 🔪🩸

@shudder.com came through clutch and added April Fool’s Day just when I needed it. Thanks, Shudder!

Me attempting to remain optimistic at every news story reporting something Trump has done that moves the U.S. closer to an autocracy.

My autographs from the Halloween (‘78) trio.

I had a great time at Mad Monster Party Atlanta this year. I love this venue and the layout of the convention. #MadMonsterPartyAtlanta

Happy 44th Birthday, Mario!

Using “the little grey cells” to work my way through Hercule Poirot stories in chronological order of his life. I’m on target to start Hallowe’en Party in October if I read two a month. #HerculePoirot
