Did anyone ever actually ask for Disney live-action remakes? I mean, IS there actually any demand for them or is it just a cash-grab?

m.youtube.com/watch?v=faiT... The new Røry single is arguably her best to date. Both the song and the video are absolutely faultless as always.

One of my #37club besties said today to me “how do you not know you’re neurodivergent?” And you know what? Never felt more seen, like she just validated everything I’ve ever suspected and like she was surprised I didn’t know. Which is exactly why this bunch that I only met in March are my ppl.

In love with this cover - gives off very spooky vibes!

#HorrorWritersChat! A trailer I made for my latest release…

#HorrorWritersChat! Most of my male characters are afraid of not being in control, so go to extra effort to reassert control over the situations they find themselves in, often making things even worse. Whereas the female characters are often more rational

#HorrorWritersChat! My male characters often mistakenly think they’re the superior gender, when a lot of times it turns out the women are the mentally stronger. Because of all the extra shit they have to deal with that men take for granted. Like being able to walk safely alone at night without fear

#HorrorWritersChat! Because my male characters so often want to do the right thing, they are almost always easily manipulated; blinded by their own hubris. One of my ongoing themes I explore a lot in my work is how man is often ultimately more of a threat than any monster they help create.

#HorrorWritersChat! Mark Woods,uk horror writer, and the one quality that defines all my male characters is determination. Determination to do what they think is the right thing, even if that determination is often misguided. Ultimately it’s what damns us all - no-one ever thinks they’re the bad guy

#vss365 You’ve always got #options. Even when life feels hopeless and you feel like there’s only one way out, it doesn’t need to be. There’s always a choice. You just need to have hope. That tomorrow will be better. You don’t know what tomorrow will bring and if you choose to go, you never will.

Meeting my #37club besties (well, a few of them) for secret Santa. #XmasStarWarsjumper is appropriate attire, right?

My wife is watching #imacelebrity and it’s ironic, Ruby Wax has had so much work done her face now looks like it’s melted wax.

#vss365 Their #goal was to travel to the far reaches of the universe and converse with alien civilisations, unfortunately the aliens were not so keen and destroyed their ship the moment it first entered orbit. “Bloody humans,” said one alien. “Parasites,” said the other, and the first alien nodded.

Getting ready for #Download2026 listening to some of the bands I’ve not heard of, while making a playlist for Mrs.Sparky. why have none of you guys ever told me about ANKOR? They’re bloody brilliant, give off real Lake Malice vibes, and definitely now topping my list of bands I want to try and see!

(1/2) People have asked me which of these two books they should read first. Honestly, it doesn’t really matter. The Tape house chronologically came first, and acts as a prequel, but One Halloween Night was finished and released first last year as part of my Holiday Horror series.

*Realises he’s been neglecting Bluesky lately because…you know, author stuff* Moves to rectify that situation

I don’t know why I never hear more people taking about #slowhorses on Apple TV. Do people just not have Apple? Do they not realise just how good Gary Oldman is in that role?

My latest book just went live!!

My latest book just went live! A small group of teens enter an old abandoned house in the woods called The Tape house, but how many of them will come out? #ukhorror #ukhorrorauthor www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FY4TCDS...

#horrorwriterschat Well my next book will be The Tape House - my version of the VHS movies where teenagers, trapped in an abandoned house, find themselves watching old videotapes with their names on while trying to escape. Spoiler: the house doesn’t want them to leave…

#horrorwriterschat I try to construct some kind of weapon from things in my room, then wait for whatever to come for me - as I’ve obviously lived through but forgotten whatever’s coming for me from the night before and I’m not going down without a fight.

#horrorwriterschat Willow Creek and Wolf Creek are 2 of my favourite movies so I’d probably say camping, or travelling the outback. In either scenario, you’re trapped out in the open, miles from anywhere, nowhere to run to if things go pear shaped. And probably with no phone signal too! I’m so dead.

#horrorwriterschat No animals. No cats, no dogs, no people - or at least, none after dark. Windows all boarded up, missing person posters, and the announcement of a curfew in place and a warning not to open the door to ANYONE after dark.

Well, we're rocking now, eh, like we're gathering at a Eurovision contest! The timing was entirely undeliberate. As the best things usually are. So #HorrorWritersChat bods, what would you notice first? Hmm? Yes there's a theme this week. Clever me huh?

#horrorwriterschat Hi - I’m Mark Woods, Uk horror writer from Norfolk in East Anglia. I write a mixture of extreme horror, cryptozoological horror, and just anything I generally think is scary.

Just a little reminder that you can now buy signed physical copies of my books at The Cosy Book Den in Dereham! Even if you don’t want one of my books, still pop in, and help support your local independent bookshop. #shoplocal #thecosybookden #localauthor #ukhorrorwriter #ukhorror

#HorrorWritersChat You can read more about Lady Temperance, and indeed mr skinny legs, in my book The Golem. Available on Amazon

#HorrorWritersChat The green man - because many of my stories are about tearing down the world we know, and rebuilding it in some new nightmarish landscape. More of a rebirth with horrific consequences for those who survive, forced to fight for their lives in this new darkness

#horrorwriterschat Lady Temperance’s opposite is an agent of chaos who goes by many names, but often Mr Skinny Legs. If the two worked together, they could change the universe for the better -but Skinny Legs just wants to see the universe burn and devolve into anarchy for no other reason but he can

#HorrorWritersChat One of my characters, Lady Temperance, a celestial whose job it is to maintain the balance, has to accept she can’t save everybody, or all worlds. Some have to perish, to die, as part of a much larger pattern

#HorrorWritersChat Mark woods, uk horror writer and I first started writing horror after I reviewed a book, and the author told me I should write my own stories if I could do better. So I did - and I wrote horror because that’s what I know.

#HorrorWritersChat He found the Easter Eggs at the bottom of the garden, no idea who put them there.He brought them in, gave them to the kids, then went to work.He never made it.On the way the phone rang.”THE EGGS,” his wife screamed. “WHERE DID YOU GET THEM?” In the background his kids screamed too

#HorrorWritersChat Well, I already have people (?) dressed in animal masks in my WIP, The Tape House, so it would be easy to have one dressed up like the Easter Bunny. Maybe wanting to insert eggs up you, that will hatch inside you releasing…well, what do you fear most?

#HorrorWritersChat I’d love to write a zombie story set on The Body Farm - with corpses left to rot and be studied coming back to life resenting the way they’ve been treated

#horrorwriterschat Hi - I’m Sparkymarky, uk horror writer based in Norfolk. About to have a couple of my books featured in the local authors section of my new local bookshop, so hoping that gets me a bit more attention

Such a clever short story with a neat little twist in the tail.

Got these ready to go to a new local independent book store in town, once I’ve signed them - so proud, they look so pretty in real life!!!

Jumping on the trend…

#HorrorWritersChat Hailing from Norfolk Uk, I write local horror for local people. Are you local? Doesn’t matter, read my books anyway. All available to read free on KU with a Kindle Unlimited subscription

#HorrorWritersChat @mattybob1979.bsky.social’s The cat came back is one of my favourites by him still. I have a thing for evil cat stories - and have even written a couple myself in my short story collections, Fear of the Dark 1 & 2

#horrorwriterschat That fear isn’t always irrational - it’s the brain’s way of keeping you safe and if it tells you a situation is bad and you should get the hell out, you should probably listen to it. Always trust your gut instinct. 99 times out if 10 it will be right

#horrorwriterschat Fear of the Dark has a story where the dark itself comes alive, closing in on you,coming to kill you and smother you in darkness. Where can you hide from the dark? Especially as lights start to fail and go out? I mean, night doesn’t last forever and it’s daylight soon, right?

#horrorwriterschat Mark Woods, 51, chef+part time horror writer from Uk. A recent scene - a teenager is watching an old vhs tape in an abandoned house, but when he attempts to turn off the video he finds himself trapped as the chair he’s in slowly wraps around him, crushing him, and smothering him.

Need this in my life…

#horrorwriterschat The equinox-12 hours of day followed by 12 hours of dark. Except the dark never ended,it got darker.Then the power went out.It soon turned out the real monsters were those all this time, we’d counted as friends+family.They began turning on each other+that’s when the screams began.
