42 years.

We’re on a break, but RECRYPTED isn’t! Season 2 begins with more TALES FROM THE CRYPT chat, with guest @brendonconnelly.bsky.social - one starring Demi Moore, the other directed by Arnold Schwarzenegger?! pod.fo/e/44aebc

Thank you! Also, surprise! New essay coming soon!

We wish a very happy birthday to our newest MANOR Resident Sarah Stubbs @sarahstubbssays.bsky.social! 🎂🥳🎉🎈 Sarah will make her MANOR debut with a Resident Fear essay in a future issue of Estate of Fright. 1/2

Current Film TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A. (1985) A first time watch for me and I can honestly already say this is one of Friedkin’s finest. And one that defined the 1980s reminiscent of Michael Mann’s work in the same time period. 1/2

Current Magazine EERIE #4 (July 1966) A cousin to Warren Publishing’s CREEPY MAGAZINE (it’s Uncle Creepy’s Cousin Eerie as host in this one), delivers the EC Comics-inspired stories full of horror and the traditional comeuppance with fantastic cover art from the art masters of yesteryear.

Current Book FIVE TOTAL STRANGERS by Natalie D. Richards (2020) Going by a recommendation Rebekah McKendry @rebekahmckendry.bsky.social made on a COLORS OF THE DARK @colorsofthedark.bsky.social episode back in 2020. And I’m not regretting it. A fast-paced, tension-filled page-turner so far!

Current Music Album Discography: DREAM THEATER DREAM THEATER – WHEN DREAM AND DAY UNITE (1989) 1/2

Current Podcast Subscriptions: I’ve recently been sharing a lot of podcasts I’m listening to in rotation while I’m working out, getting my steps in, doing mundane tasks…so I figured I’d share ALL the podcasts I’m currently subscribed to on Apple Podcasts, my podcatcher of choice. 1/31

Devilry in Godling Wood will be out October 23. Thank you so much to the people who are supporting this novel by spreading the word, adding it on Goodreads, or reading an ARC. I try to surround myself with people who want me to succeed and cut out the rest. www.goodreads.com/book/show/25...

Rock is keeping a letterboxd list of every movie we talk about on the show (I am told it will include The Confessionals too). So if you’d like to catch up with what’s been going on at Holy Terrors, check out the link below!

“A perfect capsule of growing up, or trying to, in 1985. Except this 1985 is seeping blood, and blood, and more blood.” - @stephengrahamjones.com, New York Times Bestselling author of THE BUFFALO HUNTER HUNTER. MANOR Audiobooks proudly presents the audiobook edition of SCREAM LIKE A PRAYER. 1/2

Yes, I’ve returned to Letterboxd with a new account. This one will remain. Let’s connect there too. letterboxd.com/RockCapuano/

I’ve been subscribing (and resubscribing) to a bunch of film discussion podcasts lately and was reminded of a time when I always wished I had something to write down all the titles mentioned in each episode. Now I can thank these cinephile souls for providing those lists through Letterboxd. 1/6

[Portland Press Herald; Maine - 2/3/1995]

Jul 12th - Several coffins, including one containing Orlok, were loaded onto a ship. When it arrived in Wisborg, the entire crew was dead. 📽️📅 Nosferatu (1922)

Proud to announce the audiobook release of Scream Like a Prayer, produced by @manorhq.com @rockcapuano.bsky.social and read by the talented Andrew Gibson, now available on Audible. Absolutely love it. www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRP17DX...

New Episode! We dive into the biggest horror hit of the year, Curry Barker’s low-budget juggernaut Obsession. You may be asking what on earth does this have to do with faith, religion, and spirituality? Well, you might be surprised. Our One Wish is that you will enjoy this episode!

“What Weapons asks us to understand is that there are monsters behind the scenes, those who gleefully profit in some way off death and destruction.” Manor Vellum 300 | Misunderstood Monsters: Armed and Ready WEAPONS By Matt Konopka @werematt.bsky.social Now available 🩸📜 medium.com/@manorvellum...

One new(ish) rule I follow when it comes to watching narrative TV series: I won’t start until it’s completely finished. “Hey, have you seen Widow’s Bay yet?” No, and I won’t until the last ep airs. Why? See Netflix, Prime, and all other streaming services with original programming for the answer.

“Dina had never seen her dad cry until the day he left.” Playing Tricks by Angela Sylvaine Narrator: Laura Pearlman Host: Scott Campbell Audio Producer: Graeme Dunlop pseudopod.org/2026/07/10/p... C/W: mental illness, gaslighting, child abuse

Current YouTube: MOVIE TIMELINES: THE 50s PROJECT 1958 PART 2 @movietimelines.bsky.social As a sufferer of OCD and a chronological timeline junkie, this series has been a balm to my soul. Host Josh Spiegel being a funny guy is another delight. And he prefaces videos with NO AI notice. Bonus pts.

Current Script: THE BRUTALIST by Brady Corbet and Mona Fastvold (2024) Seeing what all the spark was about last year.

Current Podcast: CULT MOVIES PODCAST (2020-Present) @cultmoviespodcast.bsky.social @akdonelly.bsky.social @mattbled87.bsky.social Concept that surprisingly didn’t happen earlier: a podcast based on Danny Peary’s legendary CULT MOVIES books. Kudos to Anthony King for getting on this in 2020.

Current Podcast: COLORS OF THE DARK (2020-Present) @colorsofthedark.bsky.social @elrickane.bsky.social @rebekahmckendry.bsky.social Haven’t listened to this one for several years and decided to go back and start at the beginning making it one of my regular subs. Glad I did.

Current Music Album: TIDES OF NEBULA – INSTANT REWARDS (2024) For some of that atmospheric background music.

Current TV Film: DEATH OF A SALESMAN (1966) A CBS television adaptation of the stage play by its own author, Arthur Miller, and starring the original 1949 stage cast members Lee J. Cobb and Mildred Dunnock. Wow how powerful they both are in those roles. Filmed on a stage and presented as such...1/2

The best edit I’ve seen in weeks, you absolutely have to turn the sound on for this one.

Sometimes people will say "Why do you like horror, isn't the world horrifying enough?" I think this is actually valid because besides horror I watch/read an absurd amount of nonfiction and perhaps that puts into perspective why I find Jason and Freddy comparatively somewhat comforting.

Estate of Fright 87 | July 2026 Delivered today 🏚️😱 Featuring an essay on the fear of radiation by Sydney Bollinger @sydboll.bsky.social, new horror fiction by Eden Royce @edenroyce.bsky.social, and this month’s MANOR calendar.
