Dude

Lou had his last round of chemo today!!!!

If anyone's still stuck for a Christmas gift for someone they want to terrify, this vintage German circus set is currently for sale on eBay and it looks absolutely cursed. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/23645365...

Pie for breakfast AND lunch

i’m not gonna insult us both by trying to write a little black friday pitch to you. my newsletter is good and it’s dirt cheap (as little as $1/month!). it’s rarely about the Horrors. we have fun over there! remember when little essays were fun?

LibroFM has a bunch of books discounted, BUT ALSO linking your account to an indie bookstore (either local or a long-distance relationshop) sends some of the sale their way instead of Bezzy Boy 🖤 also, ALL THE HEARTS YOU EAT is part of the sale. Ends Dec 2nd 🫀 libro.fm/audiobooks/9...

Thank you to the amazing Flash the Court for making a home for my story.

One of the best to ever do it!

It’s now officially DIE HARD season.

Happy Thanksgiving all!

Simon’s Quest for Succulent Birds

“You’ll be visited by three spirits.” The three spirits:

Terry had some other stuff going on.

Truth

Help provide meals to folks, and get this terrific anthology (which includes my short story "All My Life). Win-win!

If you rebooted RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK today with the same temporal margins, it’d be set in the 1980s. Neo-Nazi punks would have their faces melted by the opening of a forbidden arcade cabinet at the KB Toys at your local mall. Indiana Jones would wear a Hawaiian shirt and Chuck Taylor sneakers.

No, Charles Bronson’s 1991-film YES, VIRGINIA THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS isn’t about him killing a bunch of mafia guys to prove to a little girl that there’s a Santa. But it should have been.

Talked about my work in audiobooks with a family member and just found out that he asked my sister if she knows who “Charles Tingle” is

In retrospect, running 7 miles and then eating a ton of food wasn’t the most conducive to staying awake

Four Christmas movies to know me by

Welp. I emerged on the other side. And while it seems like it’s only been 24 minutes here, I’ve aged 17 years and now have a horse/kangaroo hybrid gifted to me by the beings whose name cannot be pronounced in this realm.

Encountered this tunnel in the middle of the woods made of thatched sticks and dead leaves. Should I walk through it?

Stylish AF and ready for pumpkin pie

Just passed a dude in Tesla who pulled off the road to throw up next to a nativity scene. And I think that’s an accurate representation of the holidays in 2025.

I'm not sayin' a thing...

Remembering the Thanksgiving when my college roommate spent all the money his parents gave him on weed and didn’t set any aside for food. His own analysis of his actions that day will forever stay with me: “I really defeated the whole point of today.”

Happy Thanksgiving, y’all

Bring it back, you bastards

It was all downhill from there

This was the cover of my mom’s copy, which she gave to me when I was 6. Loved this novel.

The last of the original Garbage Pail Kids has died in custody

Hell yeah

Count me in

"Once in a while, you see a movie that doesn’t feel made, but extracted from a dreaming mind. It won’t go to you and hand over its meanings. You have to go to it." I reviewed The Secret Agent, my favorite film of 2025. Haunting, beautiful, profound. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-...

Excellent thread by @portersqbooks.bsky.social on supporting local book stores. Why not preorder Star Wars: Low Red Moon from them? The title was inspired by one of their locals! portersquarebooks.com/book/9780593... Then submit the preorder for a free book plate! readstarwars.com/lrm-preorder

Man, TRAP is so good. Best M. Night Shyamalan movie after UNBREAKABLE and SIXTH SENSE.

“Four fucking wheels and a seat!”

Man, BLAIR WITCH. “Funnest” scary movie to see with a crowd for the first time! That last sequence was crazy in the theater. One of my best audience experiences. Part of the fun of course was the “is it real” discourse. Phenomenal marketing on top of everything else.

Seconded. Paired with the CURSE OF THE BLAIR WITCH special included in the special features, it's an incredibly creepotronic time.

Rewatched THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. Just absolutely stunning how real this movie feels. The audio isn’t overdone and is therefore creepier than more produced films (like the 2016 version). And both the acting and visuals feel so damn authentic.

"A QUARTER?! Ar, he'll be dancin' all afternoon. . ."

Whoa

Handsome Pete, he dances for nickels

A week ago I was in Tallinn, Estonia watching movies and meeting cool people! Here's some highlights, for @ebertvoices.bsky.social:

Some time ago, I was honored to submit, for your approval, why PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES is the greatest Thanksgiving movie of all time. Thank you @erinkeane.bsky.social & @hanhonymous.bsky.social for the opportunity. www.salon.com/2017/11/22/h...
