Looking for some cool Halloween decorations? Try these super-fun horror posters by my old pal @andytuohydesign www.andytuohy.co.uk/a/linkshop

The beautiful Book of Horror 2025 was released last week. 150 of the scariest films ever made, plus charts, graphs and bespoke illustrations by Barney Bodoano. Couldn’t be prouder. But it where you buy books #horror #horrorcommunity #horrormovies #horrorbooks

Summer has gone & darkness arrives earlier each evening, the perfect time for ghost stories. Tomorrow at 10pm BBC4 is showing the 1970’s adaptation of The Signalman by Charles Dickens. Here’s an unpublished illustration I made a couple of years back. I love this story, I’d love to illustrate it.

Any other lyrics— don’t even try chronic town murmur or reckoning btw— just form vowels and syllables, and mean it

Please welcome @mattglasby.bsky.social to GNoH with his entry in our The Horror of My Life series, where he discusses the films and books that shaped him into the horror fan that he is today. Then check out his fascinating book at the end of the article gnofhorror.com/matt-glasby-... 🩸📚 💙📚

The first time our intrepid correspondent watched Abel Ferrara's #BadLieutenant, he turned it off after 30 excruciating minutes. 20-something years later, @mattglasby.bsky.social tries again...

Celebrating 20 years of The Descent via @flicks.bsky.social with an extract from the forthcoming The Book of Horror 2025 out 4 Sept

"Down there it’s pitch black. You can get dehydration, disorientation, claustrophobia, panic attacks, paranoia, hallucinations, visual and aural deterioration." #TheDescent is 20, dig deep in this extract from The Book of Horror: The Anatomy of Fear in Film (2025 edition) by @mattglasby.bsky.social

“The baddie is an unwieldy, unfrightening opponent.” 90s horror I Know What You Did Last Summer gets the legacy sequel treatment — in UK cinemas now. Read the Empire review: www.empireonline.com/movies/revie...

September and October have a suitably terrifying batch of horrors on the way - from big franchises to intriguing new voices. @mattglasby.bsky.social highlights what to watch in the lead-up to Halloween – and what to watch out for.

In monthly column The A-to-Z of Trash, bad movie lover Eliza Janssen takes us on an alphabetically-ordered trip through the best bits of the worst films ever. This month, early fave #Troll2 gets its green, gloopy just desserts, featuring some of the worst-delivered dialogue of all time...

Hello! It's no doubt partly due to my spectacularly poor marketing skillz, but sales of prints have been pretty woeful of late. So if you are after a gloomy antidote to all this pesky fine weather and sunshine etc, do have a gander. Reposts also much appreciated. sarahcoomershop.etsy.com

Drawing on decades of experience as he explores different facets of the movie biz, @mattglasby.bsky.social poses the question: “When was the last great action movie you saw?” Exactly. Here’s how to fix that in six not-so-easy steps.

With 20 years’ experience behind him - and almost as many failed publications - @mattglasby.bsky.social offers some self-described "three-star advice" for aspiring critics. Criticism might feel less valued then ever, but these heartfelt and honest thoughts on sharing our passion for film ring true.

Dear writers, Raymond Chandler was 51 when he published his first novel. 9 years later he’d completed 7 novels which would change their genre and contribute boldly to international literature and culture. He died when he was on his 8th book. You’ve got time. Except me. I’m 52.

My novel is 99p on Kindle for a limited time! Less than a Mr Whippy. Take it to the park this Bank Holiday weekend and buy it an ice cream. 🍦

Every sentence forward is a sentence closer to done. No one cares how long a thing takes to write. No one ever asks. What matters is whether or not it is finished. Celebrate every word you got on the page and don't worry about how your speed compares to others. Just. Keep. Writing.

Let Glasgow Flourish, featuring the Moon and Jupiter.

Coming your way in September 2025

In the UK too?

The director is also a lovely guy and he got his dad to make all the interdimensional doorways that feature in the movie (there are quite a few)

Hostile Dimensions, a UK film made with what must have been a budget of a few hundred pounds, is a lot of fun. Currently on Shudder and a breezy 78 minutes long.

Today UK authors are protesting against Meta for stealing our work to train their AI model. Authors earn an average of £7000 per year, we are not rich, and yet a trillion dollar company decided it didn’t want to license our work fairly as it was “too expensive” Theft is not a valid alternative.

Today, we'll be joining the @societyofauthors.bsky.social outside Meta's offices to protest the use of pirated works to train their AI models. Join us if you can! More info: societyofauthors.org/2025/04/03/u...

Sign the petition to demand Meta is held to account for its unlicensed use of our work here chng.it/bpVN9kpdvd

Saturday I’ll be at my first screening of the Nightmare in maybe 5+ years. If you’re Burbank adjacent maybe I’ll see you there then.

And it’s a belter. Buckle up, weirdos

Did I buy @meltyfeelings.bsky.social's Cannibal Mukbang on digital today despite the fact that I will later be buying the physical release? Yup! Because that's how I roll! #GastroHorror #IndieHorror #SupportIndieHorror

Also disappointed and utterly unsurprised that Meta merrily stole material, including an insane number of novels, to develop their AI. Weak Teeth just one book among many. @theatlantic.com broke the story yesterday www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

I've written another short horror story inspired by an Adrian Chiles column in The Guardian. Here it is in full:

On the well-meaning John Rabe www.scmp.com/lifestyle/en...

Now have TWO TICKETS to sell for the sold out 10am showing of CRASH tomorrow at BFI IMAX w David Cronenberg intro. )Don’t have to be a mutual)

Spare ticket for the Cronenberg vs Shore no-holds-barred MMA cage fight at the Southbank tomorrow at 3pm. Free if we’re mutuals. My money’s on Cronenberg to secure a KO in round 3. Alternatively they may just decide to discuss film music. You’d be sitting with me, but there are worse things in life.

For all of us authors who had our books stolen by Meta to train AI authorsguild.org/news/meta-li...

Oh, I am LOVING this poster for Dangerous Animals (from The Loved Ones director Sean Byrne)

a fragment from the good timeline we aren't getting

Thanks for my £8.08 Oscar winnings, Adrien. Also, boo for my £15 Oscar losses everyone else

If you live in the States, you have a tremendous film coming your way. From @meltyfeelings.bsky.social, CANNINAL MUKBANG is available on digital from March 25th and on Blu-Ray from April 22nd. Be sure to give it a watch, and them check out my review. www.thereviewingrodders.co.uk/2024/08/cann...

Reposting to listen to later

Hi @mikeflanaganfilm.com - Did you see Barney Bodoano’s beautiful Oculus illustration in The Book of Horror? Think you’d enjoy it

No writer is a failure until they are dead. Full stop. A career in writing is built over decades. It's built like a house, brick by brick, book by book. Not published yet? Emphasis on YET. Book not selling? It's not selling YET. You're only done when you quit. And I don't think you're ready to quit

How to win an #Oscar www.flicks.co.nz/features/how...

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

if we are all going to be forced to relive 2016, they should at the very least let us see mad max fury road in theaters again

Nickel Boys is the film of the awards season, hands down, don’t miss it

I have a giveaway running over on instagram. If you’d like to win an EARLY copy of #DontMakeMeLaugh and some accompanying goodies, now’s your chance. #BookSky #WriterSky www.instagram.com/p/DEwo2HpsBV...
