BODY SNATCHERS was the first Abel movie I saw, back when it came out as a sci-fi obsessed kid. It would be years before I saw more of his work but it became a very foundational, somewhat terrifying, movie for me as a budding cinephile. I produced this new 4K disc, with Abel, which is kinda surreal

WE MADE IT! Just hit my humble little goal which covers my basics, and have no words to thank you all enough - both those of you who were in a place to donate, and those who so kindly signal boosted my post. To celebrate I am cracking open this can of past used by date Chucky-brand Fanta 🙏

I am a VERY newly annointed single mum and the circumstances leading to this newfound status have been really ugly - deeply unpleasant, upsetting and destabilising. If you've ever enjoyed my books, blu-ray work or horror documentaries, now is the time to help a sister out!

My 2026 has been a divorce-shaped Stygian nightmare of housing insecurity, drifting between Airbnbs, couchsurfing + housesitting. But the goddess just blessed me with my own tiny apartment! I need to move/furnish it for myself + kid almost from scratch: a humble call for help if you can to do so!

It's been a long while since I've done a physical media announcement update because my 2026 is an absolute fucking walking nightmare (don't ask!), but for those of you interested in such things, some recent additions from the past few months to follow 🧵

A tremendous mail day today, thanks to @horrornonna.com (Cinema Covens book) and Paradise Of Bachelors for the Allen family's new double album BLOOD SUCKING MANIACS - presented in sumptuous fashion as usual by POB with gatefold photos and booklet.

I was heartbroken to see the long-surviving video store in the small Australian country town my family come from had finally closed down, only to turn the corner to find THEY HAD SIMPLY MOVED INTO A BIGGER BUILDING! (Bonus Daryl Braithwaite "Horses" playing in background for added vernacular charm)

I'm not online much at the moment for mental health reasons, but wanted to pipe up and say not only is Backrooms easily one of my favourite films this year, it also gave me a material way to introduce my 14-year-old to German Expressionism, Cubism and Jacques Tati's Playtime, and they are FASCINATED

My pace of acquiring physical media has slowed a bit this year (money is the obstacle), but these came last week. Many thanks to @horrornonna.com for teaching me how to pronounce "Lucile Hadžihalilović" in the features, which I've been practicing for a few days now.

Based on @horrornonna.com's recommendation, I watched Rosemary Myers' GIRL ASLEEP (2015) and it's so fucking incredibly good, I feel like sprinting around the block. Which I can not do. That's how good it is. 1/2 HEATHERS, 1/2 HEAVENLY CREATURES, 1/3 Vince DiMeglio's FITS & STARTS (1/4 bad at math).

I'm sickkkkk boo hoo and owe some folks here messages, but look! Here's a very exciting thing I'm involved with (alongside some of the best in the business) that just got announced at Cannes!

Horror writing excellence from @horrornonna.com. (Including THEE definitive RR study.) 👀 ❤️‍🔥

i think i may have found a treat for @horrornonna.com re: the search for beat up copies of Nosferatu

Digging up old vhs tapes in search of soomit for @horrornonna.com and this box has been amusing. The top two (Vampire Tape 1 and 2) are the most promising turn-ups so far!

Great doc! Congrats to @horrornonna.com and everyone involved! (Should be a series, @shudder.com. Just saying.)

Plato tells us that there is but one Jason Statham movie, which we perceive as many due to our inability to access true knowledge in the realm of the forms

The vampire hunt is ON! Do you have a beat up VHS, film print etc of the 1922 Nosferatu? Alexandre O Philippe and our team are making a doc about our global treasure hunt called IN SEARCH OF NOSFERATU. More info here, or email us at albingraufilms at gmail dot com deadline.com/2026/05/in-s...

A new homegrown radio station launches today on Pender Island (where I live) and I'll have a weekly music show on Sundays from 3-4pm pacific called PHONOGRAPHY (named after the R. Stevie Moore album) - Tune in to penderradio.ca to stream it live, starting tomorrow at 3pm pacific.

rude. in my day we called that Italo-disco.

I have so much dumb shit I've made.

I love this so much

Gritty enid blyton reboot

MS. 45 began its rampage of revenge on this day in 1981. We discussed it with @horrornonna.com on GUIDE FOR THE FILM FANATIC: youtu.be/FagoEq9l_6k?... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

We are so close to our goal. I am truly overwhelmed by the amount of support we have received. Thank you so much for the messages, donations, and shares. I am very aware that everyone is struggling right now, so it sucks to have to ask for help. Any shares are greatly appreciated! Thank you! ♥️

I will die for this young woman.

Jane Schoenbrun's latest fulfills the promise of "A Portrait of a Lady on Fire set in a Friday the 13th sequel," which means it rules. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/teen...

If you're wearing enough eyeliner, any novel you read is a gothic novel.

Two of my most favourite things in the world - Charlie Sheen being so convinced the Japanese Guinea Pig films were real snuff that he called the FBI and @themountaingoats.bsky.social - now bound together in one perfectly crafted song 🖤

www.mountain-goats.com “Days” by the Mountain Goats is now available for pre-order. Pre-order or pre-save, go listen to the new song, we are super proud of this record and I think you will enjoy it

Now resorting to niche insults and described someone as having “nothing going on behind those eyes except an alphabetised list of their favourite foods, all incorrectly spelled”.

I feel awful about having to ask for help, but we are suing our landlord for refusing to make repairs due to extensive water damage and active leaks in our apt. We have signed a lease & paid deposit on a new place, but need help with moving expenses. Any help or shares are greatly appreciated. xx

This is my dream. Do you have a shitty old vhs tape with Murnau's Nosferatu taped off the TV? CALL ME CALL ME NOW
