@longdencalling.bsky.social hey the DM won’t let me post pics but here’s an answer to your question.

There are so many amazing horror podcasts. Here are just a few: Video Palace, Left Right Game, Carrier, The Magnus Archives, The Gentleman From Hell, The Silt Verses, In Another Room, The White Vault

looking at your list of credits you might like this watercolour i did two years ago! and maybe this silly little ink sketch lol

I changed the name of my Ring camera to “Mom” so when there’s a person there the alert reads “There’s a Person at Your Mom”.

Listened to the audiodrama horror-thriller, Catchers (Audible / Amazon): unpretentious, Old School monster (audio-)movie bolstered by a quirkiness & individuality (& witty interplay) n good performances (esp leads Herizen Guardiola & Bill Gardell); pretty good and worth a listen if it's your jam :)

Jungkook Video Palace: a vhs collector watches a tape and starts sleep talking, investigating the tape leads to a strange vhs rental A very classic horror drama: someone investigates a mysterious occult thing. He'd be curious about what is happening and a little spooked, it matches his edgy vibe

Also! If you’re looking for more straight horror, Video Palace by Shudder is fantastic.

I would watch a whole movie of nothing but Matthew Rhys' George Carlin impersonation from "Saturday Night". He fucking nails it.

“If I Had Legs I’d Kick You” is the most anxiety-inducing film I’ve seen since “Uncut gems”. Holy shit.

Milestone: showed my son “The Matrix” yesterday. He was glued to it the whole way through. I forget what a perfect film that is from top to bottom. It was fun seeing it like new through his eyes.

And the counterprogramming award of the decade goes to the fully-awesome “Sisu: Road to Revenge”. Barbenheimer that movie with the also-awesome “Wicked For Good”.

Important thread!

I don’t mean to talk smack about moves. Plenty of them just aren’t for me. But I’m the father of a young kid so I’ve seen the original many times and love it. That said, there’s a lot of WTF going on here: youtu.be/QKYFfYLe5rs?...

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed” basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again. i feel that with my dad.

People often say they want a Presidential candidate they feel they can have a beer with. I want a candidate willing to hold an umbrella over a little dog while she pees in the rain.

The entire film industry kinda feels like this scene lately: youtu.be/N_U2Q1eZxCQ?...

Don’t google “GG Allin Fanfic”

I wonder why my “Odessa Steps Daycare” business tanked

new Overhated for patrons is up! I discuss 1981's Caveman with @benrock.com!

Oh thank Christ finally there’s a new NXIVM podcast coming out. All we need is some fresh Dahmer content and all will be right with the world. Also maybe a trailer for “Speak No Evil”.

Last night I dressed as “The Banality of Evil”

VIDEO PALACE was the first narrative podcast from SHUDDER. I co-wrote this horror/mystery audio show with @benrock.com (who also directed) and it was truly one of the best creative experiences I've ever had in this town. Perfect listening for scary season! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/v...

they say Casper is the ghost of Richie Rich but Richie Rich’s ghost is said to haunt the sitting room of the brothel where he and his father were murdered, their heads bashed in with the madame’s whetstone

As I am fond of pointing out, literally none of these characters ever interact in the movie. Closest is Neve going up to the door of the film class that SMG is in.

Hey hey: My friend @qtarantino.bsky.social is working her ass off to make a film that I think will speak to a lot of people. Please check out this page and consider throwing anything in to help her! www.kickstarter.com/projects/amm...

An old friend from high school asked me what was my favorite thing I'd ever directed. Hard to pick, but this is it. Funny thing is that it was also the single most tortured production I've ever directed. An uphill battle every day (the best cast and designers tho). stageraw.com/the-sirens-o...

The exec we're working with encouraged us to try and "one up" each other in thinking up scary ideas. Here's @benrock.com bringing his A-game.

Doctor: I'm afraid the cancer has metastasized Pagliacci: Should I go see Pagliacci? Doctor: We should really be discussing palliative care Pagliacci: No! No no no! You're supposed to say "go see Pagliacci and you will be cured!" Say it! Doctor: I'm very sorry and LIVE FROM NEW YORK IT'S SATURDAY N

ICE agents have been abducting our neighbors, brutalizing protesters, and operating with impunity. Tomorrow I will be speaking alongside other local leaders at 1930 Beach St in Broadview, IL. Tell your elected officials to take a stand alongside us.
