We showed this at @anomalyfilmfest.com, and I loved it so much I had do the introduction myself. Witchy and deep woodsy and all about magic and dark hope and the true cost of miracles. Very much my (maybe poisoned) jam.

A spy villain takes their disguises to violent, trippy new heights in our exclusive new clip from 1960s Eurospy throwback REFLECTION IN A DEAD DIAMOND, out this Friday on Shudder:

Bryan Fuller's DUST BUNNY is a charming gateway horror movie about a girl who hires a hitman to deal with the monster under her bed. It also happens to be rated-R. The filmmaker explained to the @horrorqueers.bsky.social why the MPAA landed on that rating in a chat:

Christmas Movie Pop-ups!! Classic Christmas movie, Gremlins! At the Little Theater! Partnering with @anomalyfilmfest.com, Saturday Night Rewind, Fright Rags, Strange Bird Brewing. Two pop-ups! Starts at Strange Bird Brewery then moves to the Little for a movie night!! Saturday December 13th!

Glimpses of me shenanigans from the 2025 @anomalyfilmfest.com, including... * my floor-based intro to BY DESIGN * Q&A after the @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social's MOTHER OF FLIES w/ Zelda Adams (chair-based) * me on the @drydentheatre.bsky.social's curtains * vowing to free the Many-Eyed Potato

My illustration/design for the 2025 @anomalyfilmfest.com tee, finally revealed! I couldn't resist the siren's call of the Baba Yaga hut. #AnomalyFilmFest2025

So happy to have these people in my life, thank you @anomalyfilmfest.com for having us, your festival is so lovely, and for letting me have this great reunion with @cloudysuit.bsky.social & @ahouseingotham.bsky.social! Picture by the amazing @fitgaygeek.bsky.social!

Real life? I hate that place. Meh.

3rd favorite was It Ends -- a group of friends find themselves on a literally endless road with no exits or turnoffs. Starts off as one kind of movie and turns into a wholly different one. Great dialogue, funny and lingeringly thoughtful thanks for all the hard work Anomaly! @anomalyfilmfest.com

2nd favorite was Dust Bunny -- an 8-year-old hires an assassin to kill the monster under her bed. If you threw Roald Dahl, Tim Burton, John Wick, The Professional into a blender & added a huge dollop of director Bryan Fuller's own vision, you'd have this movie. A treat start to finish

A shout out to the great crew who put together the Anomaly Film Fest! Personal highlights: By far my favorite was the brilliant Thai film A Useful Ghost. Several movies in one, it's absurdly funny, darkly powerful, deeply substantive, willing to veer 180° from where it begins. A must-see film.

Never should have smoked that shit now i'm trapped in the endless film festival

Wishing everyone safe travels back to real life now that Anomaly is over. #IFYKYK #ItEnds

came out to a wet winter wonderland after a brilliant @anomalyfilmfest.com screening of Melvin the Devourer, followed by #SoyFrankelda (AMAZING)
