Watched The Perfection for the first time and was absolutely riveted for each twist and turn. An absolute must-watch.

Evil Dead Burn is gross, gory, darkly funny, and generally gnarly as hell. I quite enjoyed it. That said, I'll say the story is much weaker than the other recent entries. Definitely go for the insane violence and kills rather than characters or plot.

Looks incredible. youtu.be/8V84DJeAgfA?...

The first draft is pretty kick ass still… not gonna lie 📼🪱

I saw Godzilla Minus One in a cinema where at a few different points I realised everyone in the room, including myself, was crying, and then felt all of us wondering how in the hell a big stompy monster movie had reduced us all to tears

Finished the first draft of Tape Worms last night (wrapped by writing a particularly grisly, gross conclusion scene with strong Resident Evil 4 vibes), gonna see Evil Dead Burn tomorrow: everything coming up spooky. 📼🪱

Hell yes it is. And already it's a nasty, fun time.

Well well well… if it isn’t The Descent. Wanna hear our episode on this gem? Sure you do! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

An excellent time to start thinking about Yellowjackets is while getting on a plane

Watched Cuckoo the other day and thought it was okay, but have been stewing on why it wasn't better. I keep coming to two things: one, it's unclear how the scream-triggered little time loops are perceived by those experiencing them, and two, the final conflict dropped the loops for no reason.

In the midst of Independence Day festivities, it feels important to give this Frederick Douglass speech a reread: 1852FrederickDouglass.pdf share.google/Vi6GWcsGRHTN...

My wife accidentally had to explain to my children the plot of Pet Sematary yesterday after showing a documentary about training animals for movies (including the two cats that played Church). I NEVER thought she would be the one falling into that trap instead of me!

I also watched May for the first time today. Had no idea what to expect, had just heard it described as an underrated gem. I liked it, especially its dark sense of humor, though I didn't feel like it quite came together in a satisfying way at the end.

Excruciatingly gross is what we aim for. And scary, funny, and a little heartbreaking, too.

I just watched Lee Cronin's The Mummy and it was mean and nasty in all the same ways that his Evil Dead Rise was. If you like your horror cruel, visceral, and upsetting, you should ignore the critical pan of the film, it was absolutely wild. And much better than the trailer made it look, too.

I love this kid

An update about my precocious five-year-old daughter: she went to get a wart removed today and returned home proudly displaying it to me in a jar. She's now taunting her older brother with it, who is freaked and grossed out by it.

I bet those rolls still slap

This is some shit I’d do

My daughter isn't just chaotic when it comes to vampires. A few months ago she asked if we'd mummify her when she died and was mad when we told her no.

My wife told her that even if they were, you have to invite them in. My daughter then immediately grinned evilly and said, "We should let them ALL in!"

My 5-year-old daughter: Are vampires real? Wife: No 5-y.o.: Aww

Finally, more Streetlight! open.spotify.com/album/46PTzs...

Finished listening to the audiobook of Headlights by CJ Leede and hot damn, that book is scary, emotional, and absolutely dynamite. Brilliant writing. It melds some of the best parts of The Shining, Longlegs, and Hannibal while feeling fresh and unique (while hanging a lantern on its influences).

We're working hard to up the quantity and quality of what we're doing at Scream Kings!

I'm so excited for those upsetting wormy bois to infect our readers some day...

This one might win the Trump reflecting pool memes.

For those who have seen Keeper: did the movie work for you? Because the monsters were truly nightmarish but the story really felt weak to me. I wanna know what others thought.

"Cosmic horror" is just a better term, much less likely to lock itself in its house because it saw an immigrant or a fish than "Lovecraftian horror."

At StokerCon there was an excellent panel discussing the new shape of cosmic horror and how it is slowly leaving the shadow of Lovecraft's bigotry. Do you agree? youtube.com/shorts/aWQkg...
