A video store legend. This was the one I always saw there and tbh that Gorgon Video logo on the back was like a DANGER sign. "Banned in 46 Countries!" was an early version of "don't tempt me with a good time." 😁

Post a VHS cover that scared the hell out of you at the video store.

“With the regular disappearance of neighbors, family members, co-workers, and even children, humanity’s ancient fears of abduction have become firmly implanted in our minds once again.” @skepsisree.bsky.social is in Estate of Fright. And @augenstein.bsky.social frightens with new horror fiction.

I celebrated the 25th anniversary of one of my favorite movies in my latest for @bloody-disgusting.com. bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3...

By going through the TALES TO TERRIFY @talestoterrify.bsky.social archives, I’ve discovered my new favorite horror poet: Robert Payne Cabeen. “Doctor Volmer” remains my personal fave. “Clowns” was quite gruesome. “Krampus Comes to Town” for the holiday scream season. And the list continues… 1/2

Current Media February 2026 Film Series: X TRILOGY However, being the geek I am, I’m watching them in storyline chronological order rather than production order: PEARL (S: 1918 | P: 2022), X (S: 1979 | P: 2022), MAXXXINE (S: 1985 | P: 2024)

Current Media February 2026 TV: SCTV (1976-1984) RIP Catherine O’Hara, whose doppelganger happened to be my childhood friends’ mother…except way less funny than the talented O’Hara.

The giant rodent in Pennsylvania said there were six more weeks of winter and then proceeded to eat the cheering crowd of onlookers. Take advantage of the giant rodent’s prophecy and repeat your consumption of our releases from January 2026. 1/5

I have two items on the @locusmag.bsky.social Recommended Reading list! PSYCHOPOMP & CIRCUMSTANCE from @tordotcompub.bsky.social - novella category THE MAGNOLIA RETURNS pubbed by @escapeartists.net - short story category Congratulations to all on the list and those who've put work in the world!

TEN MEXICAN HORROR FILMS (or 11, including @realgdt.bsky.social's CRONOS, the release of which on 4K UHD/Blu-ray occasioned this piece). projectedfigures.com/2026/02/02/t...

Catherine O'Hara was easily one of the funniest people alive, but also had this incredible knack for quiet tragedy. I wrote about her just once I think, in this piece for Manor Vellum about her starring role in this absolutely bananas Outer Limits episode. manorvellum.medium.com/christmas-ti...

SCTV is on Internet Archive if you'd like to enjoy the early work of Catherine O'Hara and her fellow sketch comedy gods. S1: archive.org/details/sctv... S2: archive.org/details/sctv...

Barbara Stanwyck as Phyllis Dietrichson = the ultimate femme fatale prototype Edward G. Robinson was fantastic too. And that Wilder / Chandler dialogue? Noir masterclass.

I always thought it was Robert Rusler (VAMP, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET PART 2: FREDDY'S REVENGE, SOMETIMES THEY COME BACK)

Reread this a few months ago and it’s even more powerful the second time. cc @johnlangan.bsky.social

Wow, absolutely thrilled and honored to see my latest fiction collection A GRAVESIDE GALLERY: TALES OF GHOSTS AND DARK MATTERS included on the 2025 Bram Stoker Awards® Preliminary Ballot! Full list here of Award Preliminary Ballot here: bramstokerawards.horror.org/front-page/t...

Current Media – January 2026 Short Film: THE RETURN (1973) Saw a recommendation on social media. It’s based on two stories I’ve read: "Nobody's House" by A. M. Burrage and "The Middle Toe of the Right Foot" by Ambrose Bierce. Plus, I’m a sucker for these 1970s British delights.

Current Media – January 2026 Book: THE FISHERMAN by John Langan @johnlangan.bsky.social (2016) Although it’s been ten years since this book was released, there’s never an expiration date on reading. Two chapters in and I can already see why it had an impact. And still does.

MANOR Resident & horror author S.L. Dixon has a story featured on the looooooong-awaited next episode of MANOR HOUSE. Dixon's stories have been in publications from around the world including Starburst Mag and Dark Moon Digest. He's also the author of the books THE LAHAKLAR and TRURO TRAP.
