Made a shirt design for Bloody Disgusting!

We were going to do another big marketing stunt for THE TOXIC AVENGER UNRATED. Instead, Toxie, whose life was upended by crushing medical bills, has joined forces with Undue Medical Debt to erase at least $5 million in un-payable medical debt for those who need it most. Learn more:

One more day of madness tomorrow starting at 9am PT/12pm ET LIVE Ariescope.com and Bloody-Disgusting.com! #YorkieThon9

Oh man! I really dug this. What a gem. I find the creativity and authenticity at this budget level really inspiring. Go in as blind as possible. Shout out to @freddyinspace.bsky.social for putting it on my radar. Had no idea it existed until he posted about it.

I saw a wonderfully gruesome horror movie called BRING HER BACK this afternoon. Thoughtful, textured, and scary as hell.

HUGE congrats to @hauntedmeg.bsky.social and @freddyinspace.bsky.social on this much deserved recognition. Without exaggeration, two of the hardest working folks I know in this space. Bloody Disgusting is lucky to have them. www.prnewswire.com/news-release...

🎵 On the first day of Christmas, Art the Clown gave to me, some TriNitroToluene. 🧨💥 🎵 #lego #terrifier3 #christmas #merrychristmas #arttheclown

A dream interview was chatting about WEREWOLVES with SFX legend Alec Gillis. Of all the movie monsters he's delivered in his impressive career, this marks his first werewolf! And he's already champing at the bit for a sequel: bloody-disgusting.com/interviews/3...

Surprise! Casper Kelly's ADULT SWIM YULE LOG 2: BRANCHIN' OUT is now streaming on Max! "Zoe tries to escape the horrors of the first film by fleeing to a new country, but the murder log has travel plans of its own."

I can't believe some old video store practically gave away the Christmas classic "Silent Night, Deadly Night 5" with a 39-cent rental.

Few things I love more than coming across Gremlins on TV during the holiday season. I'm tired. I was about to go to bed. But it can wait. I don't leave Kingston Falls until the movie kicks me out.

Here we go! A very heavy stack this year that I’m immensely proud of, both in my contributions and that of my tireless colleagues. All available right now vinegarsyndrome.com

Happy Thanksgiving, you turkeys. 🦃 #lego

Annual reminder that The Munsters escorted Santa in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade back in 1964. Fred Gwynne reportedly got drunk and was shouting at everyone. Isn't that what the holidays are all about? Happy Thanksgiving!

The dirty little open secret to writing is that no one will ever know, nor care, how many drafts of a thing were written - people will only ever care about the crafted thing, and will, despite all knowledge to the contrary, assume it came out fully formed that way. No one thinks about shit drafts.

Alright…I’m here.

I'm thankful that VHS is back from the dead.

If you're looking for something fun to watch this week, BLACK FRIDAY (2021) is streaming on Prime Video. A very enjoyable little 1980s-style throwback. Cool practical creature effects, a fun cast of lovable sad sacks (Bruce Campbell! Devon Sawa!), and a final act that gets admirably wild. I'm a fan!

TERRIFIER 3 is now available on Digital. Rent it for $19.99, buy it for $24.99.

CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD: in theaters everywhere May 9th, 2025. Full story on Deadline: deadline.com/2024/11/clow...

Two important TERRIFIER notes: 1) Lauren LaVera (@laurenlavera.bsky.social) is now on Bluesky. Make sure to give her a follow! 2) TERRIFIER 3 will be available on Digital at home beginning TOMORROW, NOVEMBER 26!

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

One of the things I've come to dislike most about social media is the hyperbole. Everyone's so desperate for engagement that they're dialing their responses to anything & everything up to an extreme. It's particularly bad over on Twitter. Would love to see this place foster a different environment.

Bought one of those old school TV/VCR combo deals so I can watch stuff like the Madballs VHS tapes while eating dinner. Instantly felt my life and mental health improve. Recommend.

ALIEN: ROMULUS is now streaming on Hulu. It'll be joined on Hulu by the brand new television series ALIEN: EARTH in Summer 2025.

"The worst horror movie I ever saw was fucking great." - Stephen King.

Since there are so many new folks over here these days, it’s time to once again roll out my How to Write a Horror Movie crash course!

Wes Craven's analysis of America from this interview he did in 1988 feels like it could have been from yesterday

You can tell that Parker Finn pushed his abilities to the absolute extreme with SMILE 2, leveling up his career & his franchise in the process. A total mental breakdown of a horror movie and an absolute assault on the senses. The clever scares work like a charm & Naomi Scott is an exceptional lead.

Sienna Funko toy! It's real! #Terrifier2

I'm doing new series at Amazon, but definitely won't be related to The Haunting - that chapter of my life is closed. But the new series are an absolutely blast so far. First up is @stephenking.bsky.social's CARRIE!

That scene in Planes, Trains & Automobiles where they're getting drunk on mini liquor bottles and laughing uncontrollably and Steve Martin says "why do I feel like I'm at summer camp?" You have to find someone in your life who makes you feel that way. Every day. It's the best thing ever.

Yellowjackets Season III. 2.14.25.

A new take on the 1980s cult classic, STREET TRASH is now available on VOD outlets. "In the dystopian future of South Africa, the homeless crisis has reached such a critical level that the government has decided to liquidate the problem... literally."

A lot of people have been asking me if I'll bring the Twitter account HORROR CALENDAR over to Bluesky. Let's do that: @horrorcalendar.bsky.social

16. For Bloody Disgusting, I wrote about the time Clive Barker almost had his own Disney park. bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3...

The mid '90s answer to the Freddy's Nightmares TV show was the six book series Freddy Krueger's Tales of Terror, featuring anthology stories presented by Freddy. Anyone remember these?!

Pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed THE FRONT ROOM. The slight story is mostly a vehicle for Kathryn Hunter to go wild, and she devours the opportunity. A wickedly unhinged performance in a movie that does what it needs to do, refuses to overextend itself, and wraps up on a satisfying note.

Raise your claw if you’re hyped for #WerewolvesMovie!! In theaters Dec 6

TERRIFIER 3. Digital - November 26 Physical Media - December 17 Physical releases include: DVD Collector's Edition Blu-ray Collector's Edition 4K UHD + Blu-ray Collector's Edition 4K UHD + Blu-ray SteelBook

Smile 2 is coming home to Digital on November 19 and hitting physical media (including 4K SteelBook) on January 21, 2025. Lots of special features included, from deleted scenes to a commentary. Contrary to popular belief, the era of the stacked physical media release from a major studio is not over!

First Christmas beer of the season. Cheers. 🎅

Happy anniversary to the After Dark Horrorfest, which began today back in 2006. I wrote about the first 8 Films to Die For at @bloodydisgusting.bsky.social

Highest. Grossing. Unrated movie. OF ALL TIME. #Terrifier3

The first two episodes of The Creep Tapes have confirmed to me that it was a good idea to turn Creep into a TV series. Mark Duplass remains as oddly compelling as ever and the what-will-he-do-next allure of the character should be more than enough to make this an endlessly entertaining series.

There are currently only 22 films streaming on Netflix made before 1980 and not a single one made before 1960, with the oldest film on the platform currently being PSYCHO. I know I’m a broken record but: buy physical media, support your local library, etc etc

11 years ago, I created the Horror Buddies line with Horror Decor, inspired by the Wrestling Buddies I played with as a kid. At the end of this year, we are officially discontinuing the line. So if you never grabbed one, now is your last chance. We have ornaments too! horrordecor.com/collections/...
