Yesterday I went and looked at the public display for the National Gingerbread House Competition, and I’m pretty sure that this one in the child’s competition was supposed to be Jesus in the manger but to me it was giving Eraserhead baby.

I just went down a vintage candy rabbit hole and learned that Lucky Charms were first developed because a guy at General Mills cut up orange circus peanuts and put them in his Cheerios.

I’ve never noticed it until recently, but in a way starting out in comics broke my brain as a writer a little bit. Both in my book and this movie I’m working on I find myself approaching story very episodically because of it which I find interesting.

New video! The Best Christmas Horror Movie

Was supposed to have a video out tomorrow but just did a test upload and saw this. I have never had this much content in a video get flagged at once for copyright, so I’ll work on it and we will see how it goes.

Started playing Siren tonight and I don’t think I’ve ever played a game before that is this uniquely tedious in its difficulty. But I’m finding it compelling enough to stick with it for now, the atmosphere is great.

Fun books finds for today, Dennis Cooper’s new book of short stories from last year and a hardcover collection of Tom of Finland’s Kake comics.

This person and I used to be mutuals, it’s quite frustrating to me how often I’m reduced to just this crazy radical scapegoat for so many people mainly for saying that good movies should generally, you know, actually be about something.

I’ve started rewatching some of The X-Files and it really is amazing that even a bad episode of this is exponentially better than almost anything from the streaming era.

New video! Ed Gein and the Precursor to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

I watched History of the Occult tonight without really knowing anything about it going in and thought it was great. Actually quite scary and well done. It’s a little funny watching a movie really succeed at what Late Night With the Devil was trying to do.

These two projects got a little too complicated and are being moved to January to make sure that they are done in the style that they deserve. There will be a different main video next week though.

New Darksides video! Terror on the Frontier: The Folk Horror of Eyes of Fire

I’ve had a problem with this script I’ve been working on, but now I’m feeling good about it. As a result of this though there’s going to be two main videos this month. Hopefully a week apart from each other, not a part one and part two situation but still related to each other.

Got to this boss in Silent Hill F and the game is really clicking for me now. I don’t agree with everything it’s doing, but I’m really enjoying watching it come into its own and I’m liking it way more than the 2 remake as of now.

Now reading this. I’ve been really excited to check it out based on how folks talk about it.

Started playing Silent Hill F, and I genuinely do like it, but I’m having the same issues I had last year with the 2 remake where it just makes me feel like I’d rather be playing the old ones. Strange issue with this series that I don’t ever feel with new Resident Evils.

Hell yes!!!! My favorite Halloween movie. Had the pleasure of seeing it in theaters this year. Gets better with each watch.

New bonus Halloween video! Revisiting Trick r'Treat

Oooooh just in time for Halloweeeeeen!!

I still know SO little about this franchise. Looking forward to watching this!!

WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK!!!! Just rewatched Halloweentown 2 while carving pumpkins.

New video! Halloweentown | Anatomy of a Franchise

Checking out VoidCon with @praiseshadows.bsky.social. So excited to visit the vendors and meet all the cool people!

Man it’s been such a weird month for me, I only watched six movies all of September that weren’t work related which like never happens. I’ll have to do better in October about it.

I have always been a proponent of the Critter Ball concept, and I think more media needs to use it.

folks i am a big fan of the "evil little guys" horror subgenre (gremlins, critters, ghoulies, puppet master, etc.), so i'm eatin good today

New video! Critters | Anatomy of a Franchise youtu.be/DNCZELsbguU

Re-watched Cabaret (1972) and suddenly realized that Joel Grey's performance as the Emcee seriously delivered one of the most terrifying characters of 70s cinema.

Tonight’s doodle I did while watching some old Unsolved Mysteries on Tubi

New Darksides video! A Queer Reading of Brain Damage youtu.be/tXwUoTJJAW4

YouTube is shite - I'm *subscribed* to @praiseshadows.bsky.social but missed the last 3 vids because The-Mechanism-That-Recommendeds-Hate-and-Slop *decided* to not notify me on release. i MOST CERTAINLY want to watch this new vid (i know about the bell, do not speak to me of the bell)

brought to you by the fantastic overview I watched today over breakfast by @praiseshadows.bsky.social which made me finally want to check out the sequels. youtu.be/Jn-HnOJhXLU?...

I read this this past week. Evil, evil book, but extremely well done, impactful, actually heartbreaking. I don’t even know what to say about it other than it will stick with me for a long time and that I would highly recommend it.

I hate to be doing this yet again. I know there are a lot more important things happening out there and we're all short on cash, but I'm two months behind on rent and am still struggling to find enough work to scrape by. I appreciate anything anyone can give. ko-fi.com/tylerhendrix...

It's illustrative about how abusers stand up for each other as if they were in some perverse facsimile of a union, look up Max Landis allegations if you're not aware, suffice to say anything that gets him this riled up is doing something right. youtu.be/IEHikpO-uTM

The fact that Max Landis disliked this video should tell you how good it acutally is!

lol was not expecting Max Landis to get mad at me today for talking about abusers

New video! The Return of Jonathan Majors youtu.be/IEHikpO-uTM

If Bloober is remaking Silent Hill one I kind of think they should get weird with it and just go ahead and do three at the same time and somehow meld them together. Both games are pretty short and are also so tied to each other that I think it would make for a better experience.

I’m worried about being able to switch between first and third person in the new RE. I don’t think that’s ever really worked well in anything and I’d much rather them stick to a single perspective and really nail that instead of doing two things where one inevitably feels much worse than the other.

PSA that Eli Roth does not deserve your support, horror fans.

New video later this week

I saw these fun (probably cursed) dolls yesterday

Hey I have a new video and it's doing bad but I don't know why because it combines all of my audience's interests youtu.be/TBTkWaT2UAg?...

Sorry to be vulnerable on main, but the next few months will decide whether or not I can continue making Renegade Cut. My Patreon payout this month hasn't finished yet, but I know it won't be enough to pay my expenses. Everything completely fell apart this year. www.patreon.com/renegadecut

This actually happened to me once except it was a turkey that came in when I had the back door open letting smoke out after I burned something while cooking.

It’s always been very funny to me that these two movies were shot at the exact same time with the exact same people and one is really great and the other is pretty horrible.
