Thank you! Trying to build my street cred so I can get all the newest books to tell you all about! I appreciate your follow and would love to see you on Instagram, too! www.instagram.com/candikat13/

In The Creek, the Crone, and the Crow, Leah Weiss has created not only a world I would be happy to inhabit, she has created characters I would like to know & a mystery I would like to investigate. #BookSky TY #NetGalley, @readlandmark.bsky.social, & @rbmediaco.bsky.social for the ARCs. Full Review:

Just wanted to throw it out there that this year’s @chattfilmfest.org is going to be incredible, not just in-person but also virtually! June can’t come quick enough and I hope to see y’all there especially for those Red Eyes!

Did you catch that we dropped a new Snack Sized episode last week? For the return of this format, we kicked off with The Bewitched House (1907) and were joined by @chattfilmfest.org's Chris Dortch II to talk about this classic! Give it a listen! #GastroHorror #HorrorSky bit.ly/FGFBewitched...

This week, @alessandrapino.bsky.social will be taking over for our Gothic Horror Issue! There will be lots of recs from @bmp.bsky.social, @beedelores.bsky.social, @sarahstubbssays.bsky.social, and @candikat.bsky.social as well! Don't miss it! Subscribe here: horrorverse.net

Since this week's @horrorverse.bsky.social theme is STONER HORROR 🚬🥬, it's time to revisit the EVIL BONG films (and others). Any other recs?

Y'all go give @candikat.bsky.social a follow on Insta! She is part of the @horrorverse.bsky.social team and needs to hit 1000 followers to be considered for more bookish programs. She's just over halfway there! #HorrorSky #BookSky www.instagram.com/candikat13/

At @bloody-disgusting.com I curated a list of 10 horror movies, about snuff films in one way or another, to watch after the new FACES OF DEATH.

We're back with a new episode! This week, we're joined by @chattfilmfest.org's Chris Dortch II to talk about the classic film, Spider Baby! We discuss some contemporary films that feel inspired by it, fungi, theme songs, & more! Give it a listen! #GastroHorror #HorrorSky bit.ly/FGFSpiderBab...

Special thanks to @macabredaily.bsky.social for running our press release today! We’re beyond thrilled to be able to share our first short with the world soon. www.macabredaily.com/articles/mac...

I think it's fair to say that most students, researchers, and fans interested in horror have spent considerable time with Alex's prolific body of work. Not only is she incredibly talented, she's also immeasurably kind and supportive, and she needs our help. 🖤 #booksky #horrorsky #horrorcommunity

🪩 PROFESSIONAL NEWS 🪩 My FIRST-EVER video interview on the new B-Sides & Badlands YouTube channel. I spoke with writer/director John Valley (American Dollhouse) about writing the villainous Sandy, Christmas Horror, and stylistic touchpoints. American Dollhouse plays Overlook! youtu.be/4NTjNSxc_gw

In my latest The Singles Bar, I showcase @crysmatthews.bsky.social's empowering new song, "Forged in Fire" bsidesbadlands.com/crys-matthew...

This book is so great.

I've written and co-edited a whole stack of film crit books since 2011, with two more coming this year. If the intersection of genre (especially horror and exploitation) and genre is of interest, gee whiz do I have the books for you 💜 horrornonna.com/books/

👀

What could a Hays Code 2.0 look for horror?!? I explored in my debut for Professor Horror professorhorror.com/Deep-Cuts-Wh...

Went well! Looks like I have a publisher lined up for PANELS OF THE PROFANE, assuming I actually finish it and it's not crap.

I just love talking to horror filmmakers

Bitterbloom by @teaganoliviawrites.bsky.social is a dark, atmospheric, gothic horror fantasy (with a dash of spice) with some interesting worldbuilding around death and the afterlife. #BookSky TY #NetGalley and Turner Publishing for the ARC. Full Review: candikathorror.com/reads/bitterbloom

Is ‘Faces of Death’ a great title or a perfect title? Plus, check out my book recs about resurrections! #BookSky #HorrorSky

Hey, look! It wasn't halfway through the month before I got my March recs out to y'all! This one is a longgg one too but worth the read! So much good stuff! From silent films to documentaries, there is a lot here to add to your watchlists! #HorrorSky #FilmSky sarahstubbssays.com/sarah-recomm...

Also- shout out to the outlets who've given my work a home! @macabredaily.bsky.social @dailydead.bsky.social @nighttidemag.bsky.social @dapsmagic.bsky.social @dailygrindhouse.bsky.social @horrorverse.bsky.social I appreciate all your guidance and support!

Huge thanks to the folks at @macabredaily.bsky.social for their kind words and for giving a bit more love to the incredible group of films and filmmakers sent our recent announcement.

I’m nonbinary, and consider my nonbinariness as under the trans umbrella (I identity more female than male but possess both). For Trans Day of Visibility, consider snagging a cool Found Footage is a Lifestyle shirt or a Slashers Make Me Hot button from my shop! 🏳️‍⚧️ bsidesbadlands.myspreadshop.com

I am loath to do this, but I need your help. My 20+ year marriage has unexpectedly imploded. There's a kid involved. Aside from Lupus, Autism and a shitty 2009 Mazda, I have nothing. Things are fairly desperate right now, so if you can help out now in any way at all I'd be really grateful ❤️

The Body by Bethany C. Morrow has themes of religious trauma and deep-seated misogyny through the unreliable narration created by a triggering event, but it reads like a bit of a fever dream (in a good way). #BookSky TY #NetGalley & @macmillanaudio.bsky.social for ALC. Full Review:

It's Trans Day of Visibility! Here are some of my favorite creative works by trans artists: Books: Alison Rumfitt "Tell Me I'm Worthless" Music: Cretin "Stranger" Movies: Jane Schoenbrun "We're All Going to the World's Fair"

With Women's History Month and Women in Horror Month coming to a close, I was given an opportunity to write about #GastroHorror for @macabredaily.bsky.social! It has some less obvious picks and a bit of film history as well! Check it out! #HorrorSky #FilmSky www.macabredaily.com/articles/clo...

I honestly don't know what to do. I've been searching for a job since August. I've applied to everything from retail jobs to remote writing gigs. NOTHING My landlord has been super kind but I've run out of options. On the verge of selling everything I own and rehoming my cats... gofund.me/6a0ddd6f3

Hopefully in 2027, I'll have something new to hawk, but for now: Another post about my newly reprinted 2023 book, HAND-HELD HELL, which takes a close look at the explosion of super low-budget video/8mm horror that populated video store shelves in the 80s/90s. Out from @terrorvisionvids.bsky.social!

Watching The Little Shop of Horrors (1960) for @horrorverse.bsky.social & I definitely think Audrey II from the 1986 version is far more adorable! I dunno if I'd feed Audrey Jr. I do, however, appreciate that Audrey Jr. was in a coffee can & the remake kept that detail. #GastroHorror #HorrorSky

PROTIP for filmmakers currently submitting their work to festivals via FilmFreeway. On your film’s listing page INCLUDE INFORMATION. A synopsis is cool, we LOVE a poster but literally even a picture of your dog (we love DOGS!) is better than NOTHING. Hell the dog doesn’t even have to be yours.

One of my favorite things to look for in horror movies are Campbell's soup cans in set dressing... Watching Little Shop of Horrors (1986) for this week's @horrorverse.bsky.social and found one! #GastroHorror #BotanicalHorror #FoodinFilm

It's been a minute since I've done a giveaway so I'm going to personally gift one person a 2 month subscription to the @chattfilmfest.org Patreon to join us tomorrow! All you gotta do is share this post and comment what rarity you'd love to someday see shown! I'll DM the winner tomorrow morning!

🪩 Looking for work! 🪩 I have extensive experience in the music and horror spheres. I've interviewed the likes of Hayley Williams, Alison Krauss, and Dolly Parton! I've also written about everything from Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter to Cat People! My portfolio! authory.com/BeeDelores

It's a #BandcampFriday, which means all revenue from sales goes directly to the artists. If you're itching for Halloween, I've still got very limited vinyl copies of my seasonal album "Gathering of October Ghouls" available. jburning.bandcamp.com/album/gather...
