Found these gems out in the wild while perusing my favorite small businesses. 🎶 Movie Soundtracks: Def By Temptation - Tape - 1990 Toys - Tape - 1992 The Shadow - Tape - 1994 Willard - CD - 2003 Original Television Soundtrack: The Flash - CD - 1990-1991

Last night, my friends and I achieved the impossible by driving 60 miles across the Inland Empire to make sure we attended TWO hip-hop shows at the same damn time. We saw DJ Quick, Hi-C, and Mister CR at the Garden Amphitheater, and then…

your whole office might want to vote. whole fleet. family. squad. class reunions love to be pulled into this kind stuff. small town? big enough to vote. big city? they're just a series of connected small towns. mailing list? discussion board? everyone at the mailbox? people on your plane?

I'm starting with Snow Dogs (2002)

We are recording the SNOWY HORROR Draft with @joshmillerlite.bsky.social & @hdilla.bsky.social NEXT WEEK! Which horror films in which SNOW / FREEZING TEMPERATURES play a *crucial role* NEED to make the list?!

A wise man once said, “Live every day like you're at the Scholastic Book Fair.”

- Bourbon old-fashioned from Fanny’s - An Academy Museum screening of HEARTS OF DARKNESS (my favorite documentary about filmmaking) - With Gia and Roman Coppola in person to celebrate Eleanor Coppola’s legacy and new book Helluva night!

An appreciation post for my favorite film composer to ever do it, the great Shirley Walker (April 10, 1945 – November 30, 2006)

Notorious B.I.G. and Hooverphonic had the same taste in music: Issac Hayes’ WALK ON BY has been sampled by many incredible artists over time, but the most notable for me are WARNING from Biggie’s READY TO DIE album and 2 WICKY from the I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER soundtrack.

I'm, I call electric-vehicle charging stations “pumps,” years-old.

Black Phone 3: Invisible Phone

Remember that one time Letters to Cleo was on every 90s soundtrack ever made?

This soundtrack legitimately slays.

1995 was all the way live tonight when these absolute legends celebrated two of the greatest albums ever made. Happy 30th “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...” and “The Infamous.” 🙌🥃

☃️DECEMBER☃️ SNOWY HORROR with @joshmillerlite.bsky.social & @hdilla.bsky.social

They pulled the Alaskan out of the Great Land to throw down over snowy horror. I don't know if y’all are ready for this one. Winter is coming.

For the death of me, I can't remember why this flick was called Dreamcatcher. . . was there even a dreamcatcher in it?

It’s been a minute since I've gotten to sit down and watch a movie in its entirety, and I’m happy to report that LADYHAWKE still rips.

I love the life this record has lived: a big ol’ chip in its sleeve, a personalized label that I will never take off from Western Connecticut State University, and even the playback has so much personality. Thank you, Dj-RonIce, whoever you are.

Pretty cool to be seeing from Colorado. Can even see them a bit with just eyes.

THE INFAMOUS by MOBB DEEP may be the best rap album ever made. Whenever I put it on, it sends me right back to freestyle cyphers in the gymnasium. I can’t believe I get to see the whole thing be performed live by the remaining members of Mobb Deep, next Tuesday at the Wiltern.

Back in the office.

You know you have a VHS collecting problem when you start seeking out the creative bootleg variants of things you already own.

Next up in '90s soundtracks.

There’s a lot of talk about rap not being in the Top 40, and not enough talk about how much the other genres in the Top 40 are taking hip-hop and trying to claim it as their own. I'm looking at you, country/western, and pop.

I got a set visit from my dear friend/lawyer, @zernerlaw.bsky.social! He gave me this badass book. Can you name all the legends who signed it?

I got a cheap new toy! This wizardry turns my tape cassettes into MP3s. Most of these '90s soundtracks aren’t available in digital stores, so I’m a big fan of this device, especially for the price point.

Writing tip on dealing with notes: You always have to try to perceive the “note behind the note”. The thing that’s *really* bothering them that they can’t quite articulate But the biggest unsaid note is always the same: “make this better”

Everyone should wear a Stephen Graham Jones-related tee or hoodie when they visit mysterious, horror-related bodies of water! Get yours, only at threadsofdread.com ⭐ Thanks for sharing, @hdilla.bsky.social, the tee looks great on you!

oh, wow, the coolest:

Of course, I wore my Jade Daniels shirt to the lake from Creature From the Black Lagoon, TWO Friday the 13th movies, and American Horror Story: 1984. CC: @sgj.bsky.social

I enjoyed floating around the official 2025 @fangoria.bsky.social Chainsaw Awards Watch Party. The whole team did a great job putting together a one-of-a-kind award show that is truly out of this world!

Is @philnobilejr.bsky.social rocking a Bond watch? Hell yeah!

R.L. Stine's Pumpkinhead isn’t a Goosebumps movie, but it is precisely what the Goosebumps movies should be: standalone stories that capture the spirit of the books while giving us something new to chew on.

There’s a big kaiju problem in Sherman Oaks right now. They’re always taking bites out of the traffic lights.

I started three things last night and didn’t make it very far. Nothing held my attention. On a whim, I downloaded Mubi and pressed play on Lurker. Man… I was captivated from the first frame to the final image. It’s not a horror movie, but it’s 100% a horror movie.

It's been a busy couple of months, but tonight, I laced up and hit the streets for some after-dark cardio. I stepped off the porch, and felt like the end of Wall-E when the humans learn how to walk again. Anyway, night walks are dope, but remember, kids, if you're not hydrating, you're dehydrating.

Got a bit about, you know, knives in this brand new zine. And, there’s a piece in here on slashers, too. The coolest.

You think I’m showing you a tape, but really I’m sharing my dream carpet. #goals

Last night was the biggest show of the year for me. I've been a fan of Da Lench Mob since I discovered them through Cube and movie soundtracks like Menace II Society in the ‘90s. Even then, I felt like these guys were out-rapping the biggest hip hop stars.

My first time having the title story:

So, umm, here’s the thing… I kinda loved it. Renny Harlin did work!

I didn’t see as many shows as I wanted this year because I’m in production. Somehow, I always end up shooting during the Halloween season, but man, another incredible Beyond Fest is in the books!

There’s so much to gush about over BLACK PHONE 2, but my favorite part was how the nightmare sequences pushed me to the edge of my seat by utilizing a very clever technique: Whenever the format shifted and film grain appeared, I felt compelled to brace myself for danger.

first time I got the "Are you a pantser or a plotter?" question, long about 2010, I answered with an out-loud version of this diagram, as I thought I had to choose between being a tank or outlining. so, of course I'd have to be the writer version of a tank, just slowly rolling forward . . .

Tickets are on sale now!

I was at the prop shop today, and these guys were lurking in the corner. This industry is weird — I love it!

Vasquez Rocks has starred in hundreds of productions, but I believe the best shot of the formation will forever be the reveal of Spock at the beginning of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Here’s a side-by-side of a still from the movie and a picture of my brother chilling on Spock’s rock.
