#NW VALENTINE (2001) This was supposed to be a horror-comedy, right?

Can someone explain to me the existence of the Lofthouse frosted sugar cookie? It is aesthetically pleasing—like visually speaking, something out of a cartoon. But there is something inherently wrong about them…

Happy Valentine’s Day, ghouls and boys. Here’s some eye trauma to celebrate the occasion! #horror #scifi

So just checking, but all of you pet parents out there DO give your animals unique little voices, right? And have like minimum 3 ridiculous nicknames for them, right? #dogmom

One day I’ll own a cottage in the woods where I can make potions, poring over ancient forbidden texts. Until then I made a Mixtape for @neonsplatter.bsky.social. Listen if you dare. #occult #esoteric #witchcraft #demonology #forbiddenknowledge #mixtape #magic

Happy George Romero’s Birthday to all who celebrate! What’s everybody watching later? DAWN OF THE DEAD (1978) for me. #GeorgeRomero

If the party of family values could stop kidnapping/tear gassing/terrorizing our nation’s children that would be super.

“Children were in the crowd screaming.”

J6 domestic terrorists get pardoned as patriots while babies are being kidnapped and fed tainted food and water. Fuck this entire administration and anyone who supports it.

Accidentally bought an Arrow Video 4KUHD release of ALICE, SWEET ALICE instead of a standard Blu-ray. Doing the logical thing…and buying us a 4KUHD player.

Sent my recommendations in! HWA members, please take a moment to recommend work you enjoyed in 2025! Let your favourites be heard. If you want to add works to the Stoker recommended reading list, here’s how: horror.org/how-to-recom...

That’s ok. You’ll get ‘em next time, Aunt Gladys. #GoldenGlobes

Last night I learned that 1984 gave us the animated Cronenbergian horror Turbo Teen. I’ll never be the same.

There’s a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross’s legal expenses for murdering Renee Good. This violates GoFundMe’s Terms of Service. Everyone must report it. A thread on how to do that 🧵

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

We live in a really old house, and the plumbing is in a crawlspace. Sometimes the old pipes rupture in the winter and you can tell because there’s like a low rushing sound under your feet. And well… Buy some books?

2025 had bylines, a few missed opportunities. I passed the state price accuracy audit at the day job, and managed to keep my parents cared for in the 3 months of FML while maintaining (some of) my sanity. I lost 18 pounds, gained some fresh perspective, and am hopeful for the future. #YearinReview

Don’t forget to leave cookies out tomorrow night for Monstro Elisasue.

Yes, I’m watching the delightfully camp comedy-horror film DEATH BECOMES HER. Again.

I love animals. But dedicating your life to animals doesn’t give you a pass for being a bigot. Just throwing that out there.

I was curious to see if the Milka foil-wrapped Krampus I got from the Spar at Salzburg train station was just a repurposed Santa figure. Happy to report it's a custom chololate mould, though I'm disturbed by his 'sack'. Looks like he's cosplaying Samantha Eggar from The Brood...

I’m a staaaaaarrr! May you have the Christmas you deserve. 🪓

#NW an oft-overlooked Christmas horror movie that goes hard. THE LODGE (2019)

Look at this dog I saw at work today. You’re welcome.

The Submissions window for YOUR BODY IS A FEVER DREAM is open for another three weeks! Get all the deets here: tenebrouspress.com/blog/2025/11...

Who else bites off the bottom of these bad boys and downs them like a shot? Just me? #cordialcherries #holidayjunkfood

I still stand by this Listmas throwback on 5 Holiday Ho-ho-horrors. www.neonsplatter.com/lists-of-fur...

Pennywise playing that tuba while whisking the kids away on the season finale was very Pied Piper of Hamelin. Loved it, obviously.

Share a witch with good style.

I managed to lose 15 pounds during the holiday season. So that’s something!

#NW a personal favorite non-horror ::gasp:: comfort watch GIRL, INTERRUPTED (1999)

😈

Oh my god. It’s beautiful. Our mod little living room needs this.

Last night: festive Today: humbug Ugh, feeling buried by day job when I want to bury myself in the work that matters. Put on POSSESSOR to put my mind a very specific elsewhere. #BrandonCronenberg

Merry Krampusnacht, kiddies.

You know what’s somehow worse than Tarantino’s top 10 movies list? Numbers 11-20. JACKASS? CABIN FEVER? Then there’s his terrible Paul Dano take, which reads like he’s just pissy about Dano not wanting a role in whatever bloated, masturbatory movie he was making.

I can’t tell if this looks ridiculous because I think Neil Diamond is ridiculous…or… Is it ridiculous on its own merit? I had the sound muted during the trailer, looked up and legit thought it was parody. Anybody else? #SongSungBlue

Holiday tip: Instead of purging the excess in January, declutter and donate your housewares, clothes, and especially toys now. You don’t know what families you’d be helping put affordable gifts under the tree. And you’re getting the added bonus of more space for your new gifts.

Just finished watching GOOD BOY (2025). Good boy? No. BEST boy.

2025: The year I nominated myself for a Bram Stoker Award for the short nonfiction category. Couldn’t hurt, right? Unless I get a personal rejection letter that just says “you suck, you suck, you suck.”

One of the most coveted antiquarian books on my radar has been made available for $150…which is the lowest I’ve ever seen it. But this is the time of year I spend all my money on other people! Ahh what to do?!

Me during the IT: WELCOME TO DERRY opening credits.

Rough day at the day job. But I smoked. I have some string cheese, and KINDERGARTEN COP is on. It’s okay now. Crisis averted.

Out and about. Feeling festive, which really just means sparkly lights and way too many people. Still, it’s nice to be here. #peddlersvillage

God, what have you done? You're a pink pony girl And you dance at the club Oh mama, I'm just having fun On the stage in my heels It's where I belong 🎶
