Join us tomorrow (Thursday) at 6pm PST. Much process nerdery promised!

My wife @alisonstarlocke.bsky.social just made me turn off the lights so she can watch “The Amityville Horror,” and I said, “So you can watch this incredibly scary movie about mortgage fraud?” She also made me post this. But James Brolin is dreamy with that beard and mullet set.

I'll admit, ever since I saw Psycho as a kid I've felt a tiny bit nervous each time I kill someone in the shower.

Words matter. Call a hate crime a hate crime.

Parent to one, parent to all.

STOP THE GENOCIDE IN GAZA. I have nothing witty to say about this horror.

Writing blandly this evening and adding notes like "Write it real scary later." The muse ain't always coming, y'all. But ya write on anyway. Always remembering John Sayles saying when he was hitting a wall to just write a crappy version with "BETTER STUFF THAN THIS" next to it.

Ok; just watched the S7 Black Mirror premiere, and it was so well done, my wife @alisonstarlocke.bsky.social is now so depressed we had to switch to “The Exorcist” to cheer her up. Congratulations (?) @charliebrooker.bsky.social

Vaccines save lives and prevent more serious illnesses. And no, my kid didn’t get autism from a shot, you ghouls. (Also, autism is not something to be cured either.)

I just saw The Witch in the Window for the first time yesterday and I was so moved and spooked. It’s so organic in its invention and family drama. Love the right-on insights in this article. Looking forward to devouring your other work, @andymitton.bsky.social

As a forever Halloween fan, I was so honored to offer some of my love for the films for @andrewgrevas.bsky.social and his new book “Horror In Haddonfield.” Can’t wait to sink my knife into this! (See what I did there? ;))

I was profiled in Variety for directing Bystanders!! So grateful for this interview and having space to talk about my experiences. Neat. Also, that headline?? Iconic.

Feels so strange to keep writing about the things that scare me when I’m truly scared about what’s happening here. Writing with horror clip shows in the BG is helping me stay in the catharsis zone and also remind me to keep going back to the basics of what our genre can do for us.

Love this music, love this short!

In the wake of the fires, LA production is hurting even more than before. People can’t afford to live here if there isn’t work here. Sign our petition at the link in bio STAYinLA.org and share #STAYinLA widely. (And thank you to hireyoungprofessionals.com for designing our campaign!)

Hot tip: the score to Conclave is such good writing music. Now back to this re-carding…

Excited for my first trip to Atlanta for the Renegade Film Fest. Any fellow festers or Georgian friends, hit me up! Thanks for having my film, PICK UP TIME, @renegadefilmfest.bsky.social

Please share with any who may need a place to charge and recharge with their littles

If at all possible, I highly recommend treating an evac warning as an evac order. Got lucky and misunderstood during Woolsey & lots less terrifying to evac before it becomes an emergency. And if you get an order, please go. So pack now. Sending everyone love! (We are okay for now, just no power.)

🔥ATTN FELLOW LOS ANGELES PPL🔥 if you’re safe and able to donate, please put on a mask and head to one of the following drop off locations shared by frontline medics on ig. heard that pet food, diapers, and tampons/pads are urgently needed.

GIANT SIZED Man Thing.

Pretty damn fun to have a Christmas film out there that I can celebrate each holiday season. Thank you again to our inspiring Team THE APOLOGY and to everyone who’s sent/spread love for our film in this last year! Avail on Hulu, Shudder, AMC+, VOD and blu-ray.

Thank you, @newbeverly for last night’s glorious madness and for all you do for our movie loving (and making) community. Big love to all my beloved horror hounds for a grand time! Films: The New Kids, The Return of the Vampire, Komodo, The Severed Arm, Scarecrows & Wrong Turn.

Laughed my ass off and marveled at the magic trick of social commentary and excellent kills in #TotallyKiller. I do wish this one had a theatrical run but it’s avail this Friday on Prime. Thanks, @BeyondFest Excited to come back tomorrow for #SuitableFlesh 🖤 🔪

Still on isolation from having been sick so I am slightly tortured I can’t be on the line today. But sending everyone all my love and solidarity!

It’s the first of the month, so time for a new episode of “The Hold Up!” Click below to listen to two TV Editors named John as they discuss Richard Kelly’s “Southland Tales!” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Reposting this now so y’all all know I am always DTTAP (Down To Talk About Poltergeist.)

BOTTOMS is hilarious and strange and wild and the stuff of dreams. It has this go-for-broke, super specific sense of humor to it that I just adored. Kudos to Emma Seligman & Company! Who’s seen it? I went solo but now I want to talk to everyone about it! #BottomsMovie

Loved chatting with Fright Club Podcast & Dustin Meadows about one of my fave subgenres: the SIEGE movie. Hope y'all enjoy! What are some of your faves? Fright Club: Sieges in Horror Movies https://shar.es/afMT70

WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING. My favorite weirdo bathroom movie since GLORIOUS. Kudos, Sean King O'Grady & Company - freaked me the f*ck up. So smart, loved the constant revelations and full-on commitment from all involved. Pat Healy continues to be high on my collab wish list. #WeNeedToDoSomething

"I will sleep with a clear conscience. I will sleep in peace." RIP, Sinead. Thank you for your beautiful music and your tremendous courage. May we all learn the lesson to do the unpopular, important things AND to back each other up when we do it. https://youtu.be/yhfATC9baPo
