Happy Halloween everyone!!🎃👻

Help make a kids Halloween a little brighter!

Every time spooky season comes around I have the itch to dive headfirst into my manuscript again

EVERYONE STOP EVERYTHING Mychal the Librarian is hosting the Reading Rainbow revival!!! reactormag.com/reading-rain...

If you are going to pick up a book this fall make it @tananarivedue.bsky.social “The Reformatory”. Incredibly written. Draws you in with raw and gut wrenching storytelling that reminds us all of the strength in telling our stories — not just for us but for all of those whose voices were silenced.

A regular critique I have with movies is "It didn't know if it was supposed to be serious or silly." I don't think I've ever said that about a trailer before today. That said, this silly trailer (that also features very dark scary stuff) did kinda win me over. 🤷🏻‍♂️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=az8M...

Just finished edit #2319 of my manuscript

Don’t be afraid to share your writing. There are six Sharknado movies.

Mr Roger’s was never wrong

Easily one of the best books of the year, jump on this.

Five years after its discontinuation, BookCon has been revived by event organizer ReedPop in a very different pop culture landscape for books. The consumer-facing show is set to return to its old home at New York City’s Javits Center next April—much to the surprise of many in the book business.

The first screening of Ryan Coogler’s ‘Sinners’ in Clarksdale, Mississippi. This is the first time a lot of people in Clarksdale have been abled to watch the film for the first time. Ryan Coogler, Zinzi Evans, and Miles Caton were all in attendance. 📸: @/Carmen_A_Jude (on X)

Long live Sesame Street! 🥹 Had so much fun at the Sesame Workshop gala! Thank you, with all of my heart, for your commitment to coming together to help children grow smarter, stronger, kinder ✨

My kids loved theirs! 😜👍 #HorrorSky #FilmSky

I don’t remember this, but between being terrified of Tales from the Crypt and Tales from the Hood, this would have traumatized me

I want an in-depth oral history of the Crypt Keeper puppets. Seems like in some media its a fully servo operated head and in other, like this video, it’s like a muppet style puppet with some servo facial features. How many kinds of Crypt Keeper were there? EXPLAIN IT, PUPPET PEOPLE.

Did I see Sinners again Saturday? Yes. Am I planning to see it again with my mom for Mother’s Day?Also yes. I don’t think a movie has ever given me the chill like Sinners has.

This song has been on repeat for a week youtu.be/eS3BSM8oJ1U?...

Shudder has acquired GOOD BOY, a haunted house movie told from the point of view of a family dog:

New details on Zach Cregger's #Weapons • Mystery of the kids missing is 'not the whole movie' — there's 'way crazier shit than that' • Described as a 'horror epic' • The full cast is being kept under wraps (via EW)

Movie you've watched more than six times using gifs. ("Hard mode" no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LoTR)

Sinners was so good! The music gave me chills!

Scarewaves gave me the exact creepy vibes that I love in horror!

A reminder that while the Justin Tipping directed and Jordan Peele produced HIM releases on September 19, 2025, Jordan Peele's fourth directorial effort is currently slated to arrive in theaters next Halloween season, on October 23, 2026.

Sinners (2025)

Omg I want this!

Finally watched Hereditary. The movie was good, but seemed really…overhyped? I liked it, but considering how many people sing its praises I expected more 🤷🏾‍♀️

I need to find some time next week to see Sinners! I keep hearing so many good things and I’m desperately trying to avoid spoilers!

What movies/TV shows did you watch way too young and still leave you traumatized? I’ll start! 😂 Burnt Offerings — the only thing I remember is the scene with man jumping from the attic window and falling headfirst through the car. Made me afraid to go to the attic for years!

OpenAI is using Studio Ghibli-style memes as an ad hoc promotional campaign for its new image generator—despite Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki's famous hatred of AI. Sam Altman made his X avatar a 'Ghiblified' portrait. Disgracing Miyazaki is part of the point: It's more proof to them tech has won.
