🩸 “From King’s Books to Flanagan’s ‘Doctor Sleep’: A Revelation of My Calling” by Harper Smith @jerryisjustok.bsky.social 📜 manorvellum.medium.com/from-kings-b...   2/4

ICYMI

A great addition to part 1 of Jerry’s series (found here: manorvellum.medium.com/double-featu...); it shows the real power of cinema in real life. It’s not only an escape but also a learning tool, as @jerryisjustok.bsky.social found out firsthand.

“It was Friday and that meant I would be spending my evening in my local theater alone…but full of imagination and…with a lust for horror.”   Double Features and the Magic of Horror Cinema | Part 2 By Jerry Smith @jerryisjustok.bsky.social   Now available 🩸📜 medium.com/@manorvellum...

On this day in 1987, THE TOMMYKNOCKERS by Stephen King was released in bookstores.   The novel was one of many that helped @jerryisjustok.bsky.social during childhood. Read Jerry’s “From Derry to Salem’s Lot: Finding My Voice by Finding Stephen King.”   🩸📜 manorvellum.medium.com/from-derry-t...

Here are some Halloween treats for you on the membrane at Manor Vellum:   Familiarity and Nostalgia: The Perfect Time Machine in the Form of ‘WNUF Halloween Special’ by Jerry Smith @jerryisjustok.bsky.social 🩸📜 manorvellum.medium.com/familiarity-...   1/4

New Blink just dropped and y’all, I feel like a punk ass 16 year old buying DUDE RANCH all over again. God I missed this band. Such a return to form.

Please help if you can

This brought back memories of my own when I first read King’s THE EYES OF THE DRAGON as a kid and being so hooked on it, I couldn't put it down.   Thankfully, @jerryisjustok.bsky.social read it when they needed it the most. Give this a read 👇

I felt like writing this piece for @manorvellum.bsky.social as a thank you to Stephen King for showing a scared, abused little kid how to survive. If any of you feel led to read it, thank you

Jerry has always been a genuinely good friend and helped others when they needed it. Please help their family if you are able and please share.

Manor Vellum @manorvellum.bsky.social is featured on the official Medium Blog as part of their WHAT WE’RE READING series.   For this weekend’s reads, they recommend @jerryisjustok.bsky.social’s “Double Features and the Magic of Horror Cinema | Part 1.”   Congratulations! medium.com/blog/want-to...

Yeah, I’m 100% expecting to have to stop doing what I love to do regarding music and writing. 99.9% if my opportunities were born from Twitter interactions

When it’s been a year to say the least.

ICYMI- I’m really terrible at promoting my work so apologies for trying to do that more, but I’ve/we’ve put a lot into this book & I really want it to be a success. My goal was/is that horror fans come away learning something new about ‘80s horror (no easy feat I know!).

If you have some free time today, I’d love it if you checked out an episode or two of the fireside radio show all about forgotten film history that I created during lockdown. They’re all under a half hour, obsessively researched, and very special to me. https://m.soundcloud.com/ted-geoghegan/tracks

I want to talk about movies and music and art and have zero interest in drama, cool points or cliques. So far, this app feels a lot closer to what I’d prefer.

A few new words written by yours truly. I hope you enjoy them if you feel inclined to read. https://manorvellum.medium.com/double-features-and-the-magic-of-horror-cinema-part-1-5d41b920c44b

Spent ten hours at day job today and I want to hide in a tunnel and scream right now. Mandatory extra time is the devil. Been working six days a week, long shifts for weeks. Thanks Jeff Bez.

For new followers: Hi! My name is Jerry. My pronouns are they/them. I am a film composer for movies and shows and podcasts and Blu-ray special features. I also write about movies and music for magazines. I love to make music if you ever need any, happy to work within any budget.

Hey y’all - @willthelandman.bsky.social ‘s pup Laszlo is experiencing a medical emergency (heart failure) & Will could really use some help right now, especially w/everything shut down right now. Check out his post below for details on his Venmo. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

A year ago today, this happened. As a longtime fan of S U R V I V E and of their music for Stranger Things, it was a great chat to be able to do. The piece ended up as this: https://composer.spitfireaudio.com/en/articles/kyle-dixon-michael-stein-on-the-signature-sounds-of-stranger-things

God I love movies. I feel like I can say that on here without some Twitter dickhead rando replying with “yeah, no shit.”

Got a screener of my most anticipated movie of the year and friends, my day has been made. Cannot wait to watch it tonight.

Maybe it’s the edibles talking but you all, I just want to lift up other creators and artists and see everyone succeed. That’s my rush.

Same, Kylo, Same.

My bff/wife/fellow lover of adventures @lexibre012.bsky.social is now on here and is pretty great. Follow if you’re cool.

I have spent 32 years to the day trying to recover from that thumbs up at the end of T2. Heart wrenching.

Hey y’all! Since I’m not sure about how much overlap there is between here & that other place, I just wanted to share that if you dig ‘80s horror, @patrickbromley.bsky.social & I are co-writing the IN SEARCH OF DARKNESS book & you can pre-order it now: https://bit.ly/44rjNNq - Cheers!

Hi Bluesky, I'm Agustin :D Graphic designer, film buff, Seinfeld enthusiast, yada, yada, yada... <3 #posterdesign #movieposter #movieposters #keyart

Really enjoying the positive vibes on this app. Used to love going on Twitter to chat movies and music and wrestling but good lord does it cause such stress these days. Hoping for a different experience here

UPDATE: pool was closed. Hotel didn’t feel like cleaning it. This weather is the devil.

I just want to write for WWE.

Edibles and swimming. Let’s see what happens. Need a break from this year.

Poorly Photoshopping my kids into WWE photos is my favorite past time. Here is max hyping the crown outside the ropes.

PARASITES is so damn good. Watched it in 2016 and was blown away.

Every cent I make goes to hotels & shipping packages that were sold to cover bills, so if there was ever a day in which buying my music would be appreciated, it’s today. If you do, please skip bandcamp and pay via kofi/PayPal/Venmo. I’ll send you every RDFG/StreetVVitch track recorded for ANY amount

New issue of Scream has my cover story on werewolf movies. I wrote it a couple years back so I don’t even remember what I said but it’s in the current issue. Hope you dig it.

New project. New single. https://streetvvitch.bandcamp.com/track/debut

Still feels more positive here than the bird app.

Looks like I’m rescoring BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN for the Soho Horror Film Festival!
