We Bury the Dead was just okay, overall. The settings and different environments were beautiful though. Gorgeous looking film with a number of callbacks to other zombie films (28 Days Later and Day of the Dead being the most obvious). #moviesky #horrorsky #horrorcommunity #zombies #movies

Cracked my head open/ on your kitchen floor/ to prove to you that I have brains/ Meanwhile tin men/ are led by little girls/ down golden roads that lead to nowhere/ #alkalinetrio #mood

If you're into satanic horror movies, stop what you're doing right now and watch #Antrum. It. Is. So. Much. Fun. #horrorsky #horrorcommunity #moviesky #horror #movies #horrormovies #filmsky #creepy

Clive Barker's work is so good. I need to read more of it #CliveBarker #horrorsky #booksky #horrorlit

The holidays are over. The house is a mess. And all I want to do is write. #writingcommunity #writers #writingsky #authors #indiewriters

Whatever you celebrate, have a good time doing it

Draft 3 is in the can. The ending is stronger, the scares are more intense, and the characters have more personalty. I'm so happy. #writingcommunity #writingsky #writing #fiction #authors

Been on a #zombie movie kick lately and recently watch #LandOfTheDead. Why is this so hated? Its got more a entertaining cast than half the genre! I get that it's cheesy action horror and can feel Resident Evil-ish at times, but I really dug it. #horrorcommunity #horrorsky #horror #moviesky

Hide the petals underneath the bedroom floorboards And they will wither without fail or success Put the people in the hollow box they crafted Bolt the doors and watch them perish

Only two chapters left before draft three of my novel is complete. After an editor and some peer review, I'm gonna feel pretty good about sending this out to publishers. #writingcommunity #writers #writingsky #authors #indiepress

All I want for Christmas is a response from @newyorker.com. 14 months and counting on the poem I submitted😵😆 #writingcommunity #writingsky #writers #poem #authors

Since people are talking about #VictorWong, I recently watched Prince of Darkness and got reminded of when I used to DJ. I used to sample bits of his lecture from the beginning of the film all the time. Even made a mixtape titled, "Ghosts and Shadows." #movies #moviesky #horrorsky #horror

Some days, writing is the only thing that keeps me sane. #writingcommunity #writingsky #writers #fiction #authors

13 months and counting since my poem has been in "recieved" status with The New Yorker on Submittable. #writing #writingcommunity #writingsky #poetry #writerscommunity #fiction

What horror movie do you love that doesn't get talked about enough? Mine is Prince of Darkness. At one point, I might've told you it was John Carpenter's best. The dream sequences, satanic mirror, and the bed jumpscare are top notch! #horrorsky #horrormovies #horrorcommunity #horror #movies

For the second year in a row, it's time to celebrate @livinapress.bsky.social annual fall edition of Midnight Ink! This issue includes my new #shortstory, Loop, and sure to cure your Halloween hangover. Link below: www.amazon.com/dp/B0G43DS1V... #writingcommunity #fiction #horrorsky #writingsky

Does anyone else think Bill Skarsgard's Pennywise sounds like a drunk Scooby-Doo? #horror #horrorsky #horrorcommunity #WelcomeToDerry

50 pages into the third draft of my novel. It's starting to read like an actual work of art! Seven months ago, this was all just an idea in the notes app of my phone. #writers #writingcommunity #writingsky #authors #fiction

The Serpent and the Rainbow was the first movie to frighten me in a very long time. I'm not sure whether I'm more surprised at how good it was or how I've never seen it until now. Wow #horror #horrormovies #horrorcommunity #horrorsky #zombiemovies

I've got another short horror story being released near the end of the month. I think it technically qualifies as flash fiction (under 500 words), which is different for me, but I'm excited to be able share it! #writingsky #writingcommunity #writers #horrorsky #authors #fiction #shortstories

Dear God, if I ever make it as a horror writer, please don't let me sound as corny and pathetic as Jamie Lee Curtis does in Halloween Ends.

Just wrote two of the best short stories I've ever come up with. I'm trying to fill up a notebook full of 20+ before doing anything with them. Feeling inspired #writingcommunity #writingsky #writers #fiction #authors

I've never realized how similar #Hereditary and #TheShining are. Tony is the person who lives inside Danny, which is similar to the demon in the cult. Jack's alcoholism and Annie's sleepwalking keep their family's on edge. The supernatural vs psychological debate. #horrorsky #horror #horrormovies

Just finished draft 2 of my horror novel. It's been six months since I began any work on draft 1, and it's come along better than I imagined. I'll write one more draft, then I'll start looking for an editor. #writingcommunity #writers #writingsky #authors #fiction

It's a dark night in late October. I have Cradle of Filth blasting out of my laptop as I finish editing the final ten pages of my horror novel (draft 2). Vibes are immaculate #writingsky #writingcommunity #writers #horrorwriters #horrorsky #authors #fiction

Had an indie horror publisher call me "batshit insane" over a novel I submitted. They're active here, on Insta, and other platforms. They claimed someone hacked their email, then ghosted me. Should I take this as a compliment? #writingsky #writingcommunity #authors #horrorsky #fiction #writers

Started a new notebook of short horror stories to jot down between editing my novel. No time table. No plans for them yet. But they exist. Putting on my Silver Shamrock mask and praying to the dark gods of Samhain for inspiration #writingcommunity #writingsky #writers #fiction #authors #horrorsky

Rewatching some of the Elm Street films and figured I'd go ahead and drop my rankings. Get at me, Fred heads! ANOES (original) A New Nightmare Freddy Vs Jason Dream Warriors Freddy's Revenge The Dream Master Remake The Dream Child Freddy's Dead #horrorsky #ANOES #horrormovies #Halloween #horror

Any fans of scary podcasts? I'm pleased to announce that my new short story, Hell On Horseshoe Bend, is available for free on Spotify as an episode of @creepypod.bsky.social . Link below. Happy Halloween! #writingcommunity #writingsky #authors #horrorsky #fiction open.spotify.com/episode/67wn...

Not gonna lie, #TheBlackPhone2 kinda kicks ass. A knockoff Freddy is better than no Freddy at all. Plus, the snowy isolated setting is incredible. Is it flawless? No way. But I had a blast with it #horrorsky #horror #moviesky #movies

The creepy detective subgenre needs more attention. Would love to see more original work come out of it

Revisiting the #Halloween franchise and am definitely forming some opinions: - Halloween 2 (og) is the best of the sequels. - I still have no idea what is happening plot-wise in Curse - Resurrection > any of the DGG films - Loomis is always hilariously incompetent #horrorsky #moviesky #horror

Finished reading Immobility by Brian Evenson, and (wow!) the ending was brutal and well done. Loved the post-apocalyptic setting as well. It reminded me of the video game, Metro, at certain points. #weirdlit #fiction #writingsky #writingcommunity #horrorsky #brianevenson #horrorlit

Started my October horror movie binge with Drag Me To Hell. I forgot how much I liked the cell phone jump scare! Looking forward to finally watching Bring Her Back later this weekend. #Horrorsky #Horror #Movies #Halloween #Moviesky

Re-discovered New Order over the weekend and I've been dancing around my house ever since. Also found out I'm a big fan of playing the air drums #NewOrder #Musicsky #NewWave #Music #Vibes

Finally caught up with Alien:Earth, and man, what happened to this show? It really fell off a cliff after episode six. One of the weakest finale's I can remember. #horrorsky #horror #alien:earth

Just finished reading, Fugue State, by Brian Evenson. It's the weirdest of the Evenson #shortstory collections I've read, and contains some of his best (and not as good) works. Favorite stories: The Third Factor A Pursuit An Accounting Alfons Kuyler Fugue State #horrorlit #weirdfiction #writingsky

Nearly halfway through the second draft of my horror novel. Still love it! Really excited to share this one when the time comes #writingcommunity #writers #writingsky #authors #horrorlit #fiction

#Fleshwater put out the album of the year. It holds up to their debut pretty well, and after 10-15 listens, I think it might be better. Top tracks: Last Escape, Sundown, Endless Sky, Green Street

This Cradle of Filth news sucks. Love that band, and their last four albums completely revived their career. Guitars (Ashok) were a big reason why...

#writingsky #writingcommunity #writers #authors #fiction #horrorstories #horrorsky Got a few short story publications (all horror) to announce this fall. Some of which will be in audio form, too. Meanwhile, work continues on draft 2 of my novel!

Ran over a huge snake while mountain biking (on accident). It was so big, I thought it was a root! Didn't even know what it was til I was right over it. Easily the most scared I've been in a while haha

Finished reading The Glassy, Burning Floor of Hell. Still impressed with Evenson's work! My top 5 from that collection are: Haver The Coldness of his Eyes The Shimmering Wall To Breathe The Air Come Up #booksky #fiction #weirdlit #writingcommunity #writingsky #writers #horrorlit #horrorsky

#writingcommunity #writers #writingsky #authors #fiction #booksky The second draft of any story is usually both the scariest and most exciting part of the writing process. Truly the Pandora's Box moment for seeing things as they really are. About to open mine

A couple big announcements to report: 1. I'm in talks with a podcast to develop one of my short stories into an episode. More to come as it develops. 2. I finished the first draft of a brand new, full-length, horror novel. #writingsky #writingcommunity #writers #authors #booksky #fiction

Why does the ending chapter always take the longest to write? #writingsky #writers #writingcommunity #authors #fiction #booksky

I love when authors refer to minor characters by physical traits and characteristics rather than their names in situations where they wouldn't be given. It's a great way to avoid repeating "the man" or "the woman" when writing dialog. #writingcommunity #writers #writingsky #authors #fiction

Officially obsessed with Brian Evenson. Just finished reading Song for the Unraveling of the World. My top five from the collection are: Born Stillborn, Leaking Out, Shirts and Skins, The Cardiacs, and Lather of Flies #writingsky #writers #writingcommunity #booksky #fiction #horrorlit #horrorsky

Should be wrapping up my first draft sometime in the next two weeks. I'm a notorious under-writer when it comes to first drafts, and this is already longer than any of my previous ones that I've written in years. #writingsky #writingcommunity #writers #authors #booksky #fiction

What's the longest amount of time you've waited on a submission? I've got some with the New York Times coming up on 9 months and another with The Atlantic that's not far behind haha #writingcommunity #writers #writingsky #authors #booksky #fiction
