The buzzy success of multiple horror things right now — Widow’s Bay! Obsession! Backrooms! and that’s just right now! — should be a message to film/TV folks to set their sights on the bevy of excellent horror novels out there. I say this selfishly as a writer, sure, but also as a reader of them!

Writers and artists and creatives of all sorts: reply with a link to one of your works, if you'd like. And feel free to tell us about it. Everyone: let's check through the replies and buy some creations and support some human beings.

When I get into my "writing zone."

My local ma and pa video store was Video Time. One of the old signs still stand today. Fun fact: I ended up working there as a clerk and then manager during my college years.

As I make my way through horror anthology podcasts and picking my favorite stories as I go, I listened to “Nightmare of a Million Faces” on the Nightmare Magazine Story Podcast and knew it made my list. So naturally I had to find out who wrote it and wow... 1/3

THE SHINING (1980) recreated in Lego renders. The detail is incredible. Can't find who made these so please credit if you know... 1/10 - The Colorado Lounge

Alien opened in theaters 47 years ago today and scared the living shit out of humanity.

“Frankenstein parodies reached their peak…but there was still a lot of fun to be had as the new modern era of horror...was just getting started.” Faces of Frankenstein: In Stitches; or Frankenstein Parodies of the Modern Era By @brianwaves42.bsky.social 🩸📜 manorvellum.medium.com/faces-of-fra...

New Episode! We take a look at Masaki Kobayashi’s stunning KWAIDAN (1964) and do our best to dive into the undercurrents of Shinto and Buddhism that run through it.

“Following the massive success of YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, the spigot of Frankenstein parodies slowed to a trickle…the exceptions came from overseas…” New 🩸 on the membrane from @brianwaves42.bsky.social with the latest of his Faces of Frankenstein series. Tomorrow! 5/22/26 6:00AMET manorvellum.com

Can’t believe it took me this long to finally see this one. Some legitimate creepy moments, gore effects, and a pretty good story setup. There are some 1980s hallmarks present, which reminded me of this VHS box I’d see at my local ma and pa video store back in the day. Another blind spot uncovered.

I’d add here that folks should be following @sarahstubbssays.bsky.social & @finalgirlsfeast.bsky.social!!

As announced on their most recent episode… MANOR is a proud sponsor of the HOLY TERRORS podcast @holyterrors.bsky.social! 1/6

You’re an OG if you recognize these catalogs. For the late 1980s headbangers scene, this is where I got my authentic leather jacket with buckles and the whole works that was required…contrary to what Phil Collins would have you believe.

i looked up the plot for this book and every couple of words is a new punch to the head, i need to read this. Books are so cool.

Nat @natbrehmer.bsky.social wrote about the film with a piece entitled “Grief and Forgiveness in CASTLE FREAK, which is available on Manor Vellum 🩸📜 manorvellum.medium.com/grief-and-fo...

MANOR Resident and author Nat Brehmer @natbrehmer.bsky.social is writing the novelization of the film CASTLE FREAK (1995) for Echo On Publications. Congratulations Nat! 1/2

Recent Media: STRANGE HARVEST (2024, Film) Strange is right. Presented like a documentary that gives no fucks when it comes to showing graphic footage, goes astronomical Lovecraftian before it’s all over. 1/2

When I heard “Pinkertons” while listening to the audiobook for THE BUFFALO HUNTER HUNTER by Stephen Graham Jones @stephengrahamjones.com (2025).

FRIDAY! A children’s book about cryptids and all manner of spooky things, perfect for your little one (and you, of course)! From @cemeterygatesmedia.bsky.social!

A reminder that, as Women In Horror Year progresses, there's a handy index (updated daily) with links to all 365 books that are featured. www.briankeene.com/womeninhorro...

Always amazed by how cool my faves are.

I fully believe the 2 most important things a film needs are an interesting premise and good performances, which can be done with very little money. SFX and cool set pieces are great and can enhance horror movies especially, but a film like Milk & Serial showed how it’s not required.

A relevant flashback post with the latest buzz about the new horror film OBSESSION (2025). I believe the hype.
