Stoked to watch this one with a wild crowd later this month at @fantasiafestival.com!

GOAT SWORD is an upcoming horror comedy film about an amateur black metal band that faces gnarly consequences when their alcoholic drummer becomes a vampire right before their biggest gig yet. visit our Seed&Spark campaign page to learn more: goatswordmovie.com 🐐 ⚔️

As someone who is wracked with guilt over basically everything, automated "We're sorry to see you go" messages have never once guilted me into resubscribing to a mailing list that I've just opted out of.

Columbia Pictures ad exec who likely got paid by the word: "What if we add a second really long tagline, like, directly under the shish kebab tagline? And what if we put a third tagline under the title of the film? And what if we put a 23-word warning at the bottom of the poster?!"

I'm producing a really fun black metal horror-comedy called GOAT SWORD, and we'd love your support! Click, learn more, and do the right thing!

I love THE POSTMAN. And this is a good read.

I ran a page of my 100% human, zero AI-involvement at any stage non-fiction book through an AI-detector to see the same, and it flagged a private letter from Ronald Reagan, handwritten in 1986 and lost until I uncovered it, as 100% AI written.

New one's up! Special effects, Orange Julius, video games, and Tor Johnson masks with @tedgeoghegan.bsky.social (We Are Still Here, Mohawk, Brooklyn 45, ABCs of Death 2, 100 Tears)! youtu.be/mLhKu6FPiTc #horror #psychology #podcasts

This bit from the upcoming TS wedding at MSG is somehow grosser than all the other parts. I’ve always seen public bathrooms as the great unifiers.

Heartbreaking to hear that Daveigh was unhoused and suffering before she passed away at such a terribly young age. I'd met her at a con ages ago and she was so sweet and humble. www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/...

If you want to piss off your dorky friends, tell them about next month’s $100M Universal release about the making of a Hollywood horror movie in the 1930s where the film team accidentally summons an Elder God and a giant pustulating mass that then attempts to devour the world. <1/2>

I swear that every single morning I log on here, the first thing I see is a repost of screengrabbed content from the bad site. Stop. Doing. That.

Gene Shalit (along with his absurd taste in film and fashion) was one in a million. Of TERROR TRAIN, he said “You’d be off the rails if you don’t choo-choose this loco-motion picture”, yet he called DAWN OF THE DEAD “Yawn of the living” and famously loathed THE SHINING. RIP, king of the dad jokes.

Three years ago tonight I was out with this beautiful bunch of people, catching the World Premiere of @thejoelynch.bsky.social's SUITABLE FLESH at #Tribeca! Good times!

I watch A LOT of Murder She Wrote. The strangest thing I find with the series is that, over the course of 272 murders, Jessica Fletcher never once acknowledges the shadow of death that surrounds her. Like, never once. She's always totally blindsided - and never goes, "Seriously, man?! Again?!"

Hey author friends. I'm seeking an established literary agent for a non-fiction book I've spent the past two years on. Been tooling around on Publishers Marketplace for some time, but thought I'd open it up to friends, as well. Any advice, opinions, or insight would be very welcome!

Can I just say, if I wanted to see X posts, I'd still have an account. I don't, because fuck that Nazi cunt.

Hey. You're doing great and I love you.

Movies make life so much more bearable.

If you've never been to Fantasia, I promise you that its 30th anniversary this Summer is definitely going to be the best time to remedy that. Seriously. Come to Fantasia. Do it.

Wow. I didn't realize Spielberg was the same age as the President. Dude's out there making DISCLOSURE DAY while the Cheeto is just filling his pants with rage diarrhea.

I just completed a 120,000 word non-fiction book and never *once* used A.I. during the research or writing of it. Believe it or not, but most authors still think it's hacky-ass bullshit... not to mention total garbage when it comes to historic accuracy.

Tell me I'm not a crazy person for thinking I need to own a bottle of officially-licensed Rocketeer high-rye bourbon. www.officialcellar.com/rocketeer-shop

When my dad died in 2019, my partner told me to put on whatever movie would make me feel better. I immediately picked FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2, because it reminded me of... I dunno, being a kid? On that day, literally nothing on Earth was going to offer me more warmth than sackhead Jason.

I genuinely couldn't believe my eyes when Rex Reed, the same man who famously called THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE "The most horrifying motion picture I have ever seen", gave a glowing review to my 2015 debut and only managed to get three plot points wrong. RIP. observer.com/2015/06/retu...

Hey friends. I hope that Monday treats you well, and that you have something fun, rewarding, or relaxing to look forward to this week. You've got this.

I’m excited for the film and I want him to be comfortable reprising this character, but Hollywood movies encourage unrealistic body images and I’d love to see an older, not jacked-looking Rick O’Connell in THE MUMMY 4.

A barfly regular at my corner pub just casually dropped that his late father was a stop-motion artist who designed and animated Chiller Theater's six-fingered hand. 😵

Out of the blue a few weeks ago, Jonathan wandered into my neighborhood watering hole. He'd fallen on very hard times and was looking for help. My friend and I really felt for him, and listened to all of his stories. It's heartbreaking to hear he's gone. Please take care of people. Life is short.

I totally joined in that negative "What's your STAR WARS hot take that will make people mad at you" trend earlier today, but perhaps my hotter take is that STAR WARS is great, is *still* great, and it's a wonderful gift that we get to have space wizards and laser sword and pew-pew things.

All three prequel films are all absolutely terrible in every way and it is absurd that anyone tries to claim that they have any redeeming qualities whatsoever.

PLEEEEEASE STOP REPOSTING THINGS FROM THE BAD SITE OVER HERE.

Kristina Klebe's feature directing debut, NOXTURNE, is a moody, sexy psychological thriller that hinges on a duo of absolutely stellar performances. It feels like the type of film that printed money in the 1990s, and is unapologetic in its storytelling. World Premiere is happening May 14th in NYC.

Film fest friends. Do any of you know who runs Tallinn Black Nights these days? All of the folks I used to know there seem to have left and I'd love to reach out to whoever is steering the ship these days. Thank you!

The German title of Stuart Gordon's FORTRESS is pronounced "Die fisting." That is all.

Simon Glassman's sublimely weird BUFFET INFINITY hits select cinemas today, and VOD on May 8th. It's next-level in what it's doing and will be spoken of in genre circles for years to come. Media pals, hit me up if you want a review link. I've still got them available. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OFR...

Well done, Penn Station sign that misspells both “Amtrak” and “Moynihan.”

I appreciate all the good you're doing out there.

An old friend from Montana is making a 90s-inspired black and white comic book full of witches, swords, and blood. He's raising money for issue #2 and it would mean a lot to me if you'd toss him a couple bucks. Supporting art now is more important than ever. www.kickstarter.com/projects/hex...

The anchors on NY1 this morning, basically: "Today is Tax Day. If you haven't filed yet, you're a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt and your butt smells and you like to kiss your own butt."

30 years ago today, Principal Skinner purchased fast food to disguise as his own cooking at an unforgettable luncheon with Superintendent Chalmers. #TheSimpsons episode “22 Short Films About Springfield” first aired April 14, 1996.

Join us at Rockbar (185 Christopher Street) this Sunday, April 19th, for an all-new live edition of Final Exam Horror Trivia! The fun starts at 2PM sharp, but be sure to arrive early if you want a seat! It's going to be a big one, folks! Let’s party!

IT'S SO GOOD!

Excellent post on just how atrocious @alamodrafthouse.bsky.social is now. www.indiewire.com/features/com...

Hey. I love you guys.

In case you didn’t know, HE’S THE BAD GUY.

<busting out my best Shang Tsung impression> IT HAS BEGUN! 🌳

A humble reminder that the struggle is very real for most of us, and the threat of poverty is around most corners. Alexandra is a pillar of the genre community and deserves all our support and love. Donate.
