Lean in and buckle up because BONE TEMPLE is Metal AF. Nia DaCosta channeled 28 DAYS LATER's punk roots and infused it with a clenched demonic fist. Nia, you had my attention, now you have my fandom. This movie rules.

It is typically when our country is at its lowest or dire, when the best art is made, and this year in Film & Music illustrated that struggle beautifully. With that in mind, here is my 15th Annual Best of the Year Music Playlist on Spotify. One of my favorite years in Music in recent memory. Enjoy!

It's official. The internet has no idea what a "Plot Hole" actually is. The only hole your finding is in your logic, that same logic that leads to you thinking a new episode of STRANGER THINGS is coming. (I blame all this on Chat GPT)

The #Revival Season 1 soundtrack by Lydia Ainsworth & Alex Cuervo is out now: buff.ly/3sHwCFG Created by @aaronbkoontz.bsky.social & @lukeslens.bsky.social, stream #Revival Season 1 now on streaming services such as Prime Video, Crave (Canada), Binge (Australia) and Sky (UK). #Soundtracksky #TVsky

I loathe dudes that are obsessed with how much money someone else makes or constantly speculate and talk down about what they think they make. They so openly and brazenly assign value to someone based on their earnings. These people suck, and they permeate the film industry.

Paper Street Pictures' @aaronbkoontz.bsky.social is no stranger to the horror genre. He's been behind some well-known films, incl. SHELBY OAKS and SCARY PACKAGE I & II. For his Favorite Frights, he took a new approach by highlighting titles that he worked on and are now streaming on @shudder.com.🩸

A new Scaredycast has arrived with special guest, @aaronbkoontz.bsky.social ! We chat about his show Revival now airing on SyFy and Peacock, and his gore-fest Scare Package movies available on @shudder.com! Listen now on any and all podcast apps, or watch on YouTube! Scaredycast.com has the links.

This is not the NATIONAL TREASURE movie I have been patiently waiting for--

Look who's just been Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes 🍅 🖤 We designed REVIVAL to be binged, which you can do now on Peacock. Crave in Canada. Sky in the UK. Binge in Australia and more.

We have new Lynne Ramsay, PTA, Yorgos and Joachim Trier alongside a new Predator film, all in theaters right now. Make this weekend count, friends.

My dream of making a TV Show, enabled my dream of working w/ David Seidman. And holy shit did he deliver! Death literally separating our sisters, as the weight of Em's murder sits on Dana's shoulders. Her search for justice, deteriorating in the process. But also a cool melting skull and shit 💀🫠

SHELBY OAKS has officially made more than its entire budget (re-shoots included) in the first 36 hours in Theaters. Huge thank you to everyone who has and will continue to check it out this weekend. We appreciate you! 🤘🖤

I’m lucky and proud to have accomplished a lot in my years: 25 movies, a TV Series, Hall of Fame at my school, Lasting relationships— But I just fit the last 18 months of my and Katie’s life into a Mini Cooper and… this is officially where I peak.

She’s being given the chance to touch greatness. October 24th. Only in theaters. #ShelbyOaks @neon-rated.bsky.social

#Revival episode 10 is now on Syfy & Peacock, and our recap show is up, too! We talk all about the season finale with both the show creators @aaronbkoontz.bsky.social & @lukeslens.bsky.social and comic creators @hackintimseeley.bsky.social & #MikeNorton! Ways to find #RelivingREVIVAL in the thread:

Three years of putting out fires all started with a man on fire. REVIVAL S1 is now, officially, fully out on Peacock. I’m not even going to try and put this into words here. But I hope you all get the chance to make your dreams come true with a family as special as this one 🖤🔥🖤🔥 #Revival

#Revival (by @hackintimseeley.bsky.social & #MikeNorton + #JennyFrison covers) is one of my favorite comics of all time. And the TV adaptation (by @aaronbkoontz.bsky.social & @lukeslens.bsky.social) is utterly fantastic. S1: www.peacocktv.com/watch-online... Comic: imagecomics.com/comics/serie...

That's a wrap on #Revival S1 🎉 A Top 5 comic to TV series adaptation for me. For SYFY WIRE, my final exclusive S1 post mortem w EP @lukeslens.bsky.social (txs to @aaronbkoontz.bsky.social too) as we go deep on the big beats in #RendtheVeil & their S2 plans (spoilers!): www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/re...

In 2019 Chris Stuckmann pitched me what eventually became SHELBY OAKS, at Fantastic Fest. And now in 2025, our movie will make it's US Premiere at Fantastic Fest, back where it all began, in my home base of Austin. Who wants to come party with us next month 🤘🖤

If you aren’t watching #Revival, you’re missing out! #Earpers, go to support Mel as Dana Cypress but stay because you absolutely fall in love with the cast and get hooked on the storyline. @aaronbkoontz.bsky.social is a genius. Thank me later, you have a show to watch right now. #E4L #ProudOfMel

Please tell me you're watching SYFY's #Revival. It just keeps getting better and better every week. #fanart

Being a filmmaker is such an up and down journey. So many ideas just devolve into fragmented pieces of your original sculpture. And while it’s true there is the “movie you write, movie you shoot & movie you make” What we ultimately made in #Revival Ep 6 is perhaps my favorite thing I’ve ever done 🖤

This week on #Revival: We talk to the creators of the hit show REVIVAL! Showrunners @aaronbkoontz.bsky.social & Luke Boyce talk bringing this Tim Seeley comic w/ big ideas to the small screen! Check out the full ep NOW on Apple Podcast,Spotify or wherever you pod! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

REVIVAL comes to Spain this October! And they even have new moody Spanish art that I had never fully seen before this moment.

One of the surprise shows of the summer is #Revival on SYFY. With creative story and dark humor, this series breathes new life into the living dead subgenre. Showrunners/creators Aaron B. Koontz and Luke Boyce break down the creation of the show. nerdsthatgeek.com/in...

#Revival 104 is now on Peacock, & our recap of it is up, too!

Stoked for my first #SDCC via #Revival with a panel & signing, and then we will also have something fun to show you for #ShelbyOaks via Neon’s horror panel. Let’s party in San Diego 🖤🤘

These Texas floods are so heartbreaking. My partner Katie went to a neighboring camp as a kid and has *multiple* friends who have lost loved ones now, including one with her 8 year daughter. I can't even imagine. If you want to help, here is one way to do so that isn't just empty prayers:

The KOOP Radio interview with REVIVAL co-creator/co-showrunner Aaron B. Koontz of Austin-based Paper Street Pictures: www.lightscameraaustin.net/aaron-b-koon... #Revival airs Thursdays on SyFy Channel. S1 episodes stream at #Peacock. #SyFyChannel @koopradio.bsky.social @aaronbkoontz.bsky.social

The official #Revival podcast is also on-going via www.paperstreetpodcast.com where @lukeslens.bsky.social and I give a deep dive into each episode's themes, ideas and easter eggs alongside a special guest. Ep 2 was Romy Weltman (Em), Ep 3 was Kaleb Horn (Rhodey). Courtesy of @psp.bsky.social

#Revival on CNN Baby! @aaronbkoontz.bsky.social @melaniescrofano.bsky.social #RomyWeltman

watching Revival (on Peacock) and I dig it. bias alert: one of the showrunners is my friend and colleague @aaronbkoontz.bsky.social. but if you like zombie stories with a sense of humor, check it out.

The secret to producing Film and TV is to under-promise and over-deliver. The bigger the game they talk, the less likely they are to be able to pull it off.

If you've seen episode 2 of #Revival (now on Peacock!), check out this week's recap show, where creators @aaronbkoontz.bsky.social & @lukeslens.bsky.social talk all about the Em-heavy entry, plus an interview with "Em" herself, Romy Weltman!

Episode 3 of REVIVAL airs tonight on SYFY, while Episode 2 has now dropped on Peacock! If you haven't already, please check us out. Every view counts and they are watching week to week right now very closely. And thank you so much to all the support so far!

According to The Wrap & “Just Watch” data #REVIVAL is the top show right now on Peacock. WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?

Finally managed to catch the premiere of REVIVAL. I was a big fan of Tim and Mike’s comic and the adaptation does it justice. What a great show! Congrats @hackintimseeley.bsky.social, @aaronbkoontz.bsky.social, @lukeslens.bsky.social, @heatherataylor.bsky.social and everyone else involved.

I'm a big fan of SYFY's adaptation of @imagecomics.com #Revival. For SYFYWIRE, I spoke w/ showrunners Luke Boyce & @aaronbkoontz.bsky.social about how the show is much more than its high-concept premise about dead people coming back to life. www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/sy...

You can now watch the first episode of REVIVAL on Peacock. And not only that, but it is the very first thing you see when you log-in! Catch-up there before Episode 2 drops tonight on SYFY at 10 ET / 9 CT.
