Rewatching 'AHS: Hotel' after ten years and I forgot how sumptuous it is. The outfits! The music! The hotel lobby!

Best character in horror, fight me: Javier from 'Grave Encounters'. "Yeah, I saw a ghost. Right over there. It was really scary."

Absolutely blown away by 'Alice, Darling'. A beautiful exploration of the insidiousness of coercive control and the importance of grounded, compassionate people who will call the bullshit what it is: abuse. Double-bill it with the incredible 'Woman of the Hour'. Anna Kendrick is a force of nature.

It's just not autumn without a new Mike Flanagan show. Guess it's time for another rewatch!

'Bring her Back' is incredible: brutal, nihilistic, heart-breaking. Watch it watch it watch it watch it then give the Philippou brothers a V/H/S segment to revel with. Do it!

HOPE!

Drop some COATS

The world is rubbish so here is an appreciation post for goth characters in horror films who also seem like sweethearts. Might be part 1 of several... Eric from 'Final Destination: Bloodlines', Colin from 'Jennifer's Body', Eric from 'The Crow', Stephen from 'Dread'.

I hope 'Alien: Earth' sticks with the crew on the doomed ship rather than the boring AI children. (it won't, I appreciate that plotline has crashed out). SHOW ME people getting chased by various xenomorph variants through a pastiche to 1979 space travel. This. Is. What. I. Want.

“I intend to enjoy the time I have left. And I suggest you do the same. Life is precious. Enjoy every single second. You never know when… Good luck” 🖤😭🖤 This man was my first proper horror 'crush' and I love that they gave him such a beautiful send off. Gonna miss you, Tony Todd.

Finally watched 'Five Nights at Freddy's'. Good grief. Not a single jumpscare? Off to rewatch 'Willy's Wonderland'...

Skye is magic.

Ignore the heatware, it's nearly autumn! Get them spices spicing.

Stop scrolling, & post two characters who bring you joy & happiness.

This conference looks amazing! It's always a great experience - PhD and ECRs especially should send in abstracts. I've no idea what to pitch but I've got to get my scorpio ass there!

Still looking! Horrors films dealing with chronic pain, where are yooooou?

If you haven't seen 'American Mary', maybe today should be the day. Is it a perfect film? No, but is it a hugely cathartic watch in a world with few consequences and zero accountability for offenders? Maybe!

What's this!? An online conference!? Dedicated to the ghostly and weird tales! Celebrating 100 years of M R James 'A Warning to the Curious'? With fantastic authors! Incredible panels! Writing workshops! Fantastic keynote speakers! Check it out!! buytickets.at/romancingthe...

Horror fam! I am writing a personal piece and am looking for film or TV (esp. horror) which reflects the experience of chronic pain, symbolically or realistically, and I'm struggling to think of examples. I know they are out there - hit me up! #horrorfam #fibromyalgia #chronicpain

AAAAAAAAAHHHH

Just watched 'Incendies'. Wow. Just... speechless. More people need to talk about this film.

Finally kept my appointment with the Wicker Man.

'28 Years Later...' did not hold back on the horrors of grief. Genuinely moving reflections on the literal pile of skulls we have yet to reckon with in the (still not post-) Covid times. Time really hasn't healed anything. #28yearslater

I SAY YOU’RE BOTHERING PEOPLE WITH THIS PUZZLE BOX, BOY. YOU’RE COMIN’ ON TOO STRONG WITH THE “SUCH SIGHTS TO SHOW YOU,” WITH YOUR SKIN PULLED EVERY WHICH WAY

Whoa. WHOA! WHAAAT?!

Red Rooms They Look Like People Saint Maud

Had an absolute blast at @hauntedshores.bsky.social and @macabredanse.bsky.social wonderful 'Unquiet Shores' conference. I got to speak on trauma, water, and sound in horror film, with a very generous reception to my (typical) insistence on inserting trauma and gender into EVERYTHING. Cheers!

Woohoo! One of my favourite spooky conferences in glorious Cork.

That’s not the rule and you know it.

has anybody looked into harnessing excess cortisol as a power source?

It’s World Goth Day. Here we see the essential difference between the American & English mindset.

I'm thrilled to bring the 'Peele & The Furious Five' Workshop to StokerCon 2025! 5 Tools, Endless Story Power: characters under pressure, twisted POVs, generational trauma, hero vs. villain dynamics, climaxes that hit & reframe everything! Join me! www.eventbrite.com/e/stokercon-... #StokerCon2025

The new season of 'Andor' is wild. We've had attempted rape and men choking women (urgh and urgh) BUT we've also had the greatest homage to The Simpsons in sci fi. "Who the devil are you?"

@amybeddows.bsky.social argues that #Adolescence highlights a focus on men's struggles, overshadowing women's suffering and sidelining female survivor stories: #ViolenceAgainstWomen buff.ly/K2rYOlk

Too long, didn't read? If you like 'Adolescence' or 'Baby Reindeer', then watch 'I May Destroy You', 'Unbelievable', and 'Until I Kill You'. Engage with women's stories, Black women's stories, and Black men's stories of sexual violence, too. www.transformingsociety.co.uk/2025/05/08/a...

Morning Heathens.

February. Get ink, shed tears. Write of it, sob your heart out, sing, While torrential slush that roars, burns in the blackness of the spring. "You can't break that which is not yours." www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtb6...

Let's be real, we need this. Covid, Brexit, riots, cost of living crisis... I'm putting a lot of therapeutic value on this film.

Rewatched 'Willow' in honour of Val Kilmer. How the heck is Warwick Davies only 17 in this film? He acts the hell out of it and plays a long suffering dad so well.

Registration for the Youth & Horror conference, 1-2 July at University of Birmingham, is now open! Hooray! Get your delegate pass here: shop.bham.ac.uk/conferences-...

This looks extremely interesting!

2025 Easter Bunny

Put up by Katy Brand today - this is the story over and over again

'Until I Kill You' has wrecked me. What an amazing woman.

Just discovered this artist - j'adore Hari Ren's work, so beautiful.

This looks AMAZING - 'Ugly Stepsister', out in April. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz_b...

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

On the rewatch of 'Alien: Romulus', Andy (David Jonsson) is an incredible character and Jonsson should have been Oscar nominated for his portrayal. Such heart.

Good morning, how are you #HorrorSky? Have an awful meme from myself. Iykyk.
