Happy birthday, @bjcolangelo.bsky.social! I hope the next year is all sorts of kickass!

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.

In early 2025, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the New York Attorney General sued Capital One Bank, alleging it cheated customers out of over $2 billion in interest. So why not grab a coffee and croissant there when you’re in Union Square? 🤮

That's just a bit too on the nose.

The trailer for Renny Harlin's new film, DEEP BLUE HARD 2, has 31 producers listed on its credit block and an additional 16 on the IMDb. I assume Gene Simmons was given a credit just to ensure the Tr*mp vote?

I had a dream last night that I watched THE COLLECTOR for the first time and was surprised to discover that Bill Murray played the killer in it.

I have to pause any time someone abbreviates "Film Festival" to "FF" because that's *definitely* not what that stands for on Grindr.

I hope you all have a really good day. x

Drop a movie that traumatized you as a kid

A great movie with one of the most awkwardly Photoshopped posters ever created. There those really their heads? Maybe just their faces? And are they on straight? SO many questions.

I saw this photo on CNN and thought it was one of those memes where they added additional orange to him for comedic effect.

Meaning that @tedgeoghegan.bsky.social's podcast episode of TALES FROM BEYOND THE PALE is probably near the end of March, since a character wants to steal a poster of the "new movie" RAD. Check out the ep for some good mall horror and Joe Bob Briggs. talesfrombeyondthepale.castos.com/episodes/epi...

There is a cybertruck in my neighborhood that is constantly covered in loogies and it’s one of the only signs I have that’s society is still doing okay.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

It's always an honor to be featured in @variety.com, especially when talking about how the success of anyone in the genre scene is a a gift to all of us. variety.com/2026/awards/...

Check it out, #MutantFam!

Steven Spielberg's Thomas Kinkade's Christmas Cottage

You honestly don't have to show me what Twitter's saying. That's why I'm here and not there.

My episode of Tales from Beyond the Pale is live, and I'd love for you to set aside 29 minutes today and give it a listen. I worked with an amazing cast and crew to tell a 1980s anti-capitalist horror story that's tons of fun from top to bottom. talesfrombeyondthepale.castos.com/episodes/epi...

idk I’ve seen a bajillion kids movies where the kids parents die & let me tell you, having a convo with my kid about how anyone can die at any time & it doesn’t matter if they’re someone’s mom or dad is way harder than having a convo about how sometimes someone has two dads or whatever. And yet

For those of you mourning tonight's series finale of The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, I'm excited and honored to reveal that Joe Bob plays a pivotal role in "Everything Must Go", my episode of Tales From Beyond The Pale which debuts next Thursday, March 12th. <1/3>

Have a hell of a night tonight, @themutantfam.bsky.social. 🍻 ♥️

My 16-year-old cousin in rural Australia DM'd me to say that he can't sleep and he's scared that The United States is going to cause the world to end. Let that sink in.

World Central Kitchen head José Andrés confirms Israel has closed Gaza’s borders indefinitely and warns the NGO will run out of food this week. The group is currently cooking about 1 million hot meals a day.
