You forgot gaming, Joyce, through which he displays remarkable humility and integrity. “I would like to state that the father of my children was the first american druid in diablo to clear abattoir of zir and ended that season as best in the USA” - Grimes

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Mr Pedro Elias Garzon Delvaux was slightly drunk and clutching a teddy bear he addressed as ‘Aloysius’. The bumptious young man tried to maintain an elegant gait as he strolled through the crowd of Police Nationale, yet, as he was so unused to wine, tripped and fell into the Fontaine de la Pyramide.

And when NOSFERATU premiered in Germany in 1922, it opened with the overture from Heinrich Marschner’s opera DER VAMPYR, which itself was inspired by Polidori’s THE VAMPYRE.

Pippa Durham, 38, was looking forward to a new six-part series billed as a bodice-ripping retelling of the Dissolution of the Monasteries. However, she spotted a 20th-century doorknob in the background of one of the shots and has been livid ever since.

I’m going to write a maudlin novel from the POV of this poor, reviled creature.

Meanwhile, at the peep show from Paris, Texas: Sehr geehrter Herr Eel, ich werde Ihr Video nur dann drehen, wenn ich sehen kann, wie viele Damen ich in einen winzigen Raum quetschen kann. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Wim Wenders.

Bloody finally. THANK YOU. It will be pretty funny if I don’t like it after all the Franken-pining I’ve been doing. In retrospect, that is. In the moment I’ll definitely make a massive to-do about it all and break something.

What are your Top 4 rock songs from the year you were born?

I just want the characters from the funny vampire show to meet the characters from the sexy gay vampire show.

Mourning the loss of Diane Ladd. Genuine, generous, compelling. I did know really know her — she was a family friend — but fondly recall a spirited conversation about Martha Mitchell, a role she felt she was born to play. I wish we’d seen it. It would have been something else.

Here's the mask I made representing the Bean-nighe a spirit from Scottish folklore, also known as the "washerwoman," who washes the bloodstained clothes of those about to die. She is considered a harbinger of death, similar to a banshee, and is typically found by desolate streams, pools, or fords.

Are Lana Del Rey and Ethel Cain still fighting? I’m bored.

Headline of the month right there.

‘One doesn’t become a witch to run around being harmful, or to run around being helpful either, a district visitor on a broomstick. It’s to escape all that — to have a life of one’s own, not an existence doled out to one by others.’ — Sylvia Townsend Warner #WyrdWednesday

I keep forgetting to show you weirdos my cool shirt.

As an honorary aunt to many, I concur.

Irresponsibly posting my location on social media

You know what, Nigel? Writer’s block isn’t really a thing. The real “block” is trying to survive in a capitalist system, in which creativity has been devalued & publishing taken over by managerial types who only understand productivity & see writers as “brands.” www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Jackson and Aickman for life (obviously) but man I get bummed when I think about Joan Samson. She wrote one of the most artfully horrific antagonists ever, and would absolutely be as well regarded as Shirley if she’d had more time.

I’m terrible at most practical things, but today I fixed an old VCR. The picture is shit, which is exactly what I wanted for sleep ambience. Plus, if you watch this in hi def you’re doing it wrong.

Did the designer of this cover get the image licensing for Sylvia Ganush from Drag Me To Hell because — I mean it has to be.

Geez, I did a bit of research on Cat People and now the Google news page keeps inflicting this doofus on me. YOU DIRECTED FIRST REFORMED! Jfc.

What do you mean I can’t stream an album of songs from the hit motion picture Ishtar? Rude. Weekend ruined.

can't stop looking at this photo of Jacob Elordi in full Frankenstein's Creature makeup hugging his exasperated-looking dog

On tonight’s midnight perusal of The Public Domain Review, I learned that in 1879, Muppets were made out of oranges, nuts and baby clothes; never worn.

It's like being at a big party wherever you go, but as a fun bonus, the party is always that scene from 'mother!'.

@monicaskuebler.bsky.social interviewed me for @ruemorguemag.bsky.social ! It was great to discuss 'The Vatican Versus Horror Movies' and the wars conducted upon genre films by the crusading Holy See! I'm in the latest issue,hitting stands Nov 1st, already available online for subscribers.

It has long astonished me that lovers of #unhingedwomen novels haven't discovered Rhys. Like, if you want some true, pained, lost, delulu female fiction, read Rhys. And btw, her reported final words were, "My mascara." Total icon.

RIP Philip Larkin, you would have loved Pornhub, vaping and GB News

Yeah, nah, sorry dudes, I don't think I'm good at Halloween puns. Or puns in general, come to think of it.

Who's solving the Louvre robbery? Right answers only.

People used to regular, paid employment would go into cardiac arrest if they learned how many hours some disabled people have clocked in voluntary positions and 'work experience'. Many of us are told we don't try hard enough, but when we do, they always find some way of punishing us for it.

IS it, though? Or are they thinking of the lesser-known, straight-to-video catastrophe HEDGE MAZE starring Limahl?
