😂 My favorite part might be Jim casually sharing some background at the end, as if nothing out of the ordinary happened, while Dick’s valiantly trying to recenter himself to wrap the gag.

Allow me to preach the gospel of Canadian vampire masterpiece FOREVER KNIGHT.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

Caleb Williams for a message for the NFL

Also, yes, that's not E.T.'s real name either.

…a conceit which Curtis brought to DRACULA first while cribbing from himself in his 1973 adaptation starring Jack Palance. It’s pretty grand, really: Barnabas was directly inspired by Dracula…and, in turn, Dracula lore was culturally altered because of Barnabas. Vampires beget vampires.

Truth.

Happy 45th to Adam & the Ants’ absolutely iconic Kings of the Wild Frontier album. 🏴‍☠️ #adamandtheants #adamant #postpunk #80smusic #antmusic #punk #glamrock

Happy Halloween! #31DaysofHalloween #happyhalloween #Halloween #halloweenvibes #halloweendecorations

1990. What a time. All 14-year-old me cared about was glam/sleaze metal and horror movies. Luckily for me, it was a banner year for both. And it all went completely over the top. #31DaysofHalloween #frankenhooker #rockula #horror #90shorror #90smovies #90s

Halloween is almost here 🖤🍷🩸

He opened strange doors that we’d never close again. #31DaysofHalloween #davidbowie #labyrinth #themanwhofelltoearth #thehunger #jareth

Pinwheels.

Which is your favorite? 1985 was a fun year for horror and an absolutely banner year for dark fantasy. So many on the all-time classics list. Celebrate the 40-year milestone by shouting out your fave. #31DaysofHalloween #horror #darkfantasy #1985 #80smovies #80shorror #horrormovies #fantasy #80s

Bava is a mighty God

This movie doesn’t get enough love. Clever premise that sets up suspense. Gritty-gloom atmosphere, with gothic undertones. Kiefer Sutherland hamming it up. Kevin Bacon as his foil, giving “root for me” energy. Refined popcorn horror. With a great score to boot. #31DaysofHalloween #horror #90smovies

Join me for a stroll through a secluded, forgotten cemetery near my house. #31DaysofHalloween #altenheimcemetery #cemetery #cemeteryphotography #cemeterywandering #graveyard #gravestones #Halloween

Utterly magnificent. Both the short program and free skate.

13th Annual Forest Park Casket Races. Nobody does October quite like the “Village of Cemeteries.” #31DaysofHalloween #Halloween #October #casketraces #forestparkil

Ilia Malinin is a force to be reckoned with! 🔥 Malinin leads by over nine points and is poised to extend his win streak, while Isabeau Levito and pairs team Katie McBeath and Daniil Parkman both finished fourth on day two of Grand Prix de France.

Now that’s more like it. #31DaysofHalloween #autumncolors #autumnleaves #autumntrees #autumn #October

The aesthetic of this show… I want to sip an aperitif in front of the crackling fire at Collinwood. #31DaysofHalloween #darkshadows #barnabascollins #horror #horrortv #vampire

Treasured childhood memory: “Son of Svengoolie” on Saturday nights. Loved that show when I was a kid. And love that Rich Koz still keeps the character going now. #31DaysofHalloween #svengoolie #sonofsvengoolie #horrorhost #horror

Title sequences don’t get much better than this one for The Devil Rides Out / The Devil’s Bride. As always, Hammer gives a master class in vibes. #31DaysofHalloween #hammerfilms #horror #horrormovies #titlesequence #classichorror #hammer

Happy 10/13! 👽 Recently dug up artifacts from my first job: editor-in-chief of The X-Files Official Magazine for Twentieth Century Fox. I’ll create a more elaborate video soon. Once I realized the date, couldn’t pass up the opportunity for this little ditty. #31DaysofHalloween #thexfiles #xfiles

If Bela Lugosi capitalized on his Dracula fame by opening a hipster art cafe and releasing a collection of antisocial beat poetry set to krautrock, this would be the album cover (followed by a few gatefold insets). #31DaysofHalloween #belalugosi #whatif #classichorror #classicfilm #oldhollywood

The kids at the local community center designed this “scarecrow” for Forest Park’s annual Invasion of the Scarecrows. And he’s the cutest! #31DaysofHalloween #invasionofthescarecrows #scarecrow #Halloween #bat

Richard Butler, man. The swagger! Dude’s all over the stage, dropping into squats like he’s not pushing 70. I hadn’t seen the Furs since 2012. Didn’t know what to expect. Lived up. And the colors in the light show, too! Sublime. #thepsychedelicfurs #richardbutler #postpunk #newwave #80smusic

If Frankenstein’s monster was a brooding post-punk musician who, after years of feeling misunderstood and suffocated, ditched his bandmates to record a collection of introspective, “suffering artist” dirges and thinly veiled diss tracks, this would be the album cover. #31DaysofHalloween

2025 can’t even get autumn right. #31DaysofHalloween
