I've been at Fantastic Fest for nearly a week, and I have to absolutely shriek my praises for Curry Barker's OBSESSION. The language of its cursed hysteria so closely resembles real-life mental illness - grounding the premise in a way that's still under my skin, hours later.

Hey WGA friends! 2 days left for Board endorsements. Check out my platform and consider hitting that endorse button. It's been an honor to represent screenwriters & dig in on the fight against free work. I'd love to continue this important work. elections.wga.org/2025/maggie-...

Thank you so much, Jennifer! <3

Though every script on the list is special, as a horror filmmaker I have to highlight @jennraisin.bsky.social 's IN THE VALLEY OF DARKNESS and @cityofangelle.bsky.social 's CUMBERLAND GAP - two terrific horror pilots, two exciting voices in our genre! www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

It's been a serious privilege to help curate this year's Women's List. The final list is an extraordinarily diverse range of stories worthy of the big (and small) screen.

The most valuable advice I've ever gotten in my career, and which I pass on here for the betterment of the next generation: "Well, have you tried, I dunno, making GOOD art?"

WGA West members: I'm running for reelection to the Board of Directors & would so appreciate your endorsement. Click the link below - the endorse button is on the bottom of the page. elections.wga.org/2025/maggie-...

FILMMAKER MAGGIE LEVIN CAME TO TOWN AND SHE BROUGHT HER ANNOTATED COPY OF GHOST EATERS AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A FINE FEATHERING BEFORE @maggielevin.bsky.social

Many centuries ago, before punchlines on The Simpsons became our reality and daily atrocities the norm, I had a “blog” called The Word In The Stone. I loved writing essays on it about my strange life but it went the way of the iPod. Until recently, when I decided to resurrect it. It’s back.

Fangoria spreading the word on GHOST EATERS, they definitely wanna get haunted: bit.ly/3GnkPDX

Trailer time, mother fuckers! Dead is just a word. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0kq...

Just finished outlining the weirdest, most uncomfortably personal movie I've ever written so this thread is really resonating with me!

does this mean the old app I never deleted and still accidentally open all the time will work again, please say yes

This quote from Steven Shainberg 🎯😭

Caught a performance of JOHN PROCTOR IS THE VILLAIN. It is SO well done - equal parts entertaining, poignant & devastating. Nails the complexity of American girlhood with effortlessness and shocking power. The ending is transportive. Morgan Scott is a standout. Sadie Sink is a force.

You should go see WARFARE before it leaves theaters.

1) Right, smaller audience post, but for WGA members who follow me, you just got an email letting you know that four members are appealing Disciplinary Action for violating Article X of the WGA Constitution. Three for strike-breaking, one for conduct prejudicial to the welfare of the Guild.

Hoo boy, that #BlackPhone2 trailer rules! The Grabber is back and somehow deadlier than ever, taking revenge from beyond the grave. Tons of great chills and atmosphere in the trailer. @scottderrickson.bsky.social made the right call for his first sequel. #CinemaCOn

THE GORGE is out now on AppleTV+ As promised, some BTS 💜

The Gorge is out now on AppleTV+ - watch now because it is a fucking blast, romantic & steamy and audacious and strange and also so I can post more bts spoilers from my unit 💜

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

Somehow put duvet into duvet cover incorrectly twice. Am about to have a complete nervous breakdown.

Hey man sorry to hear about all your political turmoil. Would it help if I scrolled around on the computer all day and drove myself insane?

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

I just used @5calls.org ’s app to call both my senators, my governor, and both state reps to urge them to oppose the radical actions of this new administration. Posting on social media isn’t enough. Take action. Making calls like these is a good start. #2+2=4 apps.apple.com/us/app/5-cal...

men will literally stage a coup to make it illegal to not like them before trying to be likable

super proud of @scottderrickson.bsky.social who rolled right out of production into a press tour & is absolutely crushing it on almost zero sleep

Horror is a transgressive, punk rock genre that is at times VERY political. And a large component of our audience and community is very, very queer. You don't have to share our politics to enjoy horror, but you sure as shit should share the ideals that everyone has a right to exist if you make it.
