Somebody convince me that I don't need a reversible, limited-run Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem 1976 tour jacket.

It's important to note for the consultant people: Kat is tied for first place, she's raised more money in this race than anyone else, and she hasn't used Twitter in months. It's a website filled with racist AI snuff films and it's rigged against you specifically. There's no good reason to use it.

I love how I put on the Hazbin Hotel Broadway special to fall asleep to like I wasn’t going to cry though half of it and watch the rest. I did my best lol.

So @thatwitchmia.bsky.social is watching WEAPONS for the first time tonight and I’m so curious to see how she talks to it?

New episode of @certifiedforgot.bsky.social is live, and we’ve got @hauntedmeg.bsky.social as a special guest! We kept a free-for-all vibe as we talked about our favorite horror movies of 2025, with an emphasis on our lesser talked about darlings. The Certified Forgotten way.

Going 🔴 LIVE 🔴 with @pnemiroff.bsky.social from 12PST - 1PST! Lots of chats about AVATAR: FIRE & ASH, plus some IS THIS THING ON?, THE HOUSEMAID, ANACONDA (quick reaction), and whatever you've got in the chat.

"I was unhappy in our marriage; I wasn't unhappy with our marriage." I enjoyed IS THIS THING ON? Cooper lets the film be as messy as its subject matter (complimentary). Arnett and Dern navigate marital woes with hope and grace, adorably "broken" together. A bit too loosey-goosey, but has a big 🖤.

Thrilled to announce this spectacular new blu of Fabrice Du Welz's glorious nightmare CALVAIRE (2004) I co-produced with the legendary @neilsnowdon.bsky.social for Arrow. Extras by @bjcolangelo.bsky.social @harmonycolangelo.bsky.social @willowcatelyn.bsky.social @antbit.projectedfigures.com + more!

Really love @abbyolcese.bsky.social’s film writing, especially when it takes the arguments we have in an AMC parking lot in the middle of the night and replaces my doomerism with Bible verses. Good shit: crookedmarquee.com/bugonia-wake...

I am known hater of these films but if you wanted a thoughtful look from someone who tried their damndest to give these storyless wonders a shot:

Interesting! You can rent IT ENDS right now on Letterboxd's VOD "Video Store," but it's *also* getting a full distribution rollout. I really dug IT ENDS, so I'm happy to see it benefit from Letterboxd as a "sample" release and Neon for official release. Also surprised to see both deals, tho?

The deeper I got into my ANACONDA review last night, the more I soured. Sure, there's a funny bit here and there, but overall, it's surprisingly flat for the kooky concept. Anacond-nah.

Can we smooch under the ANACONDA mistletoe standee?

Time to find out if I don’t want none or do…want…some of ANACONDA?

If you give me the chance to write about BLACK CHRISTMAS (1974), I'm going to take it. In honor of the new Limited Edition 4K Steelbook from Scream Factory, I wrote about why Bob Clark's Christmas horror classic is still my favorite slasher film.

A huge thanks to everyone who played a part in this beauty! @bjcolangelo.bsky.social, @michellekisner.bsky.social, @blondekwaidan.bsky.social, @rifewithkatie.bsky.social, @crazysexyghoul.bsky.social amongst many other legends. #Horror #PhysicalMedia

Criterion and Vinegar Syndrome Black Friday haul came in (with a bonus Black Christmas upgrade from Scream Factory)!

LOL there it is.

When I tell you that my theater was literally shrieking throughout this movie... THE HOUSEMAID is at once deliciously trashy and a thoughtful exploration of a shared experience. It's too damn long, but idk man. It's great. Seyfried is sooooo good. www.fangoria.com/the-housemai...

Was traveling this weekend and didn't have time to promote it, but @donatobomb.bsky.social and I recorded a quick episode on SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT for @certifiedforgot.bsky.social last week. It's the first movie in the franchise I've ever seen, and I kind of fucking loved it?

After AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH, I've run out of patience with James Cameron's all-flash, no-substance franchise. Too much The Way of Water déjà vu, too much corny-as-sin dialogue. Cameron can't hide behind his patented game-changing visuals anymore. Review -> authory.com/MattDonato/A...

Oh hey kids, fun reminder that you can pre-order the fancy @terrorvisionvids.bsky.social release of PATCHWORK, featuring essays from @donatobomb.bsky.social and yours truly.

So did Blumhouse and Universal forget they're releasing their M3GAN spin-off SOULM8TE in less than a month or...?

Oh hey, @arrowvideo.bsky.social's new Limited Edition CHEAP THRILLS release is available for pre-order! I've got an essay in the collector's booklet alongside @thehorrorchick.bsky.social. Also included is a new audio commentary by @horrornonna.com. Proud to share a byline with some of the best. 🫡

When a bear attack movie titled "Grizzly Night" is rated R for "grisly images." 🤌 😘

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

Setting the tone on a Sunday at the Shoresy Classic.

My April concert lineup is getting STACKED. Literally seeing Bilmuri, Electric Callboy, and Bloodywood back-to-back-to-back, lol.

Really not beating the allegations of who most of you think I am by taking my antibiotics at dinner with a Baja Blast flavored hard seltzer.

"There's a little [Hotel Artemis] and Gunpowder Milkshake thrown into a fairy tale creature feature, which settles into a wholesome action-horror vibe that’s like a grim bedtime tale meets shoot-'em-up excitement." Hey, DUST BUNNY, it's a lot of (R-rated) fun for the whole family!

Is the STREET FIGHTER trailer colorful, energetic, and looking the right kind of silly? Hell yeah. Looks very "video game surreal" (compliment). Hoping the whole movie sustains what's in this short burst.

This week has brought me no peace. I could really use a rage room this weekend.

Had a nice Thursday surprise, as I didn't think this was going to post until January— I sat down for an exclusive interview with Nia DaCosta for @denofgeek.bsky.social to discuss 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE. www.denofgeek.com/movies/28-ye...

getting people back into theatres requires two things: a greater diversity of well-produced and marketed films, along with exhibitors working to build community around the idea of moviegoing

DUST BUNNY is out this week, and it’s good!

IT ENDS is one of Letterboxd's inaugural Video Store rentals—seek it out. Alex Ullom's existential crisis of a purgatorial road trip thrives on ambiguity and feeds on pressing anxieties about everyday life (mortality is a prison, babyyyyy).

Can you really be mad at a horror flick that (violently) hates Nazis, sneaks in anti-gun messaging, and puts you in the holiday spirit? Mike P. Nelson's SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT remake gets a pass in my book.

Both of Harmony Korine's EDGLRD releases so far. Not a single redeeming quality across either.

In a year rich w/ incredible experiences, interviewing Loren Bouchard about Bob’s Burgers, one of my very favorite shows, was an absolute best moment for me. Here’s the full interview where we talk about the early days, Bob as a bicon, & the evolution of Marshmallow. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Rn-c...

“Further consolidation in the industry is a real threat and existential threat to cinemas … [but] it’s not just to cinemas, it’s to the whole ecosystem. I think there’s a misunderstanding. We have fixed costs. You reach a tipping point where it doesn’t just continue to get smaller, it crumbles.”

I was honored to be interviewed alongside comrade-in-Christmas Steven R. Monroe for this article by Jim Hemphill for @indiewire.com all about horror filmmakers who also make holiday movies...and the commonality between the two seemingly disparate genres! Read! www.indiewire.com/features/int...

That's 2,000 words on COLD PREY in the books, not a bad start to the week.

I have Culture Crave muted here as part of a blanket news aggregator mute list, and this is exactly why. Sites like Culture Crave are not real news outlets. They’re clickbait farms that don’t care about spreading misinformation or being blatantly wrong. They should not be taken seriously, and yet.

FROM DUSK TILL DAWN would have been better if it starred Matthew Lillard and Paul Dano.

"Steeped in violence and exploiting some of our most childhood moments, DEADLY GAMES is a fitting entry in the Christmas-horror genre that birthed it." Looking for a new holiday favorite? Well, look no further than the French home invasion horror-thriller DEADLY GAMES.

Chilling on a Saturday night? Gonna livestream with @pnemiroff.bsky.social about a number of topics: - FNAF2 - AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH first reaction - Critcs Choice noms - and more... Chat's open for live questions and comments as always, pop in!

There is a lot that plenty of people get wrong about Battle Royale. It is easy to highlight how cool or funny it is but this is also an intensely angry film where deep seeded pain can't help but boil over. It hit hard in the early 2000s but it hits like a fucking truck now.

tfw you write something negative about five nights at freddy's

"Consumer-friendly," of course, probably means Netflix subscribers. This schmuck is saying it out loud before the goddamn ink is dry. "Windows will evolve." Because everyone famously loves how Netflix is handling its current theatrical releases!
