21. WHEN A STRANGER CALLS (1979) Does a lot with a little, but also does little a lot. #31HorrorFilms31Days

20. 28 YEARS LATER (2025) Garth Marenghi-quote-about-authors-who-use-subtext-ass movie (complimentary). #31HorrorFilms31Days

19. 28 WEEKS LATER (2007) Incredible that this movie was made in the time period it was made in, as it is a pretty biting commentary on the GWOT. Unrelated, I am happy to know that Max Scherzer would be immune to the rage virus. #31HorrorFilms31Days

18. PARTY LINE (1988) A movie so utterly and stereotypically 80s it could have been made in the 2010s. For example, a body is disposed of in neon-soaked LA by Leif Garrett driving a Ferrari 208.  #31HorrorFilms31Day

17. CLEARCUT (1991) Unreal film. What a picture. As relevant and raw as when it was released. Graham Greene was such a gift. #31HorrorFilms31Days

16. MADHOUSE (1981) This one was banned as a part of the "video nasty" era and, honestly, I get it. #31HorrorFilms31Days

15. SKINNER (1993) Have you ever wanted to see what Ed Gein would be like as a 1960's Batman villain? #31HorrorFilms31Days

14. SLAUGHTER HIGH (1986) A bunch of Brits play Americans resulting in uncanny accents that are emblematic of this film as a whole where everything is just a little off, like sipping milk before you realize it's spoiled (complimentary). #31HorrorFilms31Days

13. WEAPONS (2025) Rated R You Afraid of the Dark? #31HorrorFilms31Days

12. I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER (2025) I was 12 for the OG, so it is like a core deal for me. This one is mostly silly, but Cline and Wonders should be in like 5-10 more movies together. #31HorrorFilms31Days

11. PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (1925) Painfully good and demonstrates that we have flown so far from the sun in 100 years. Reverse Icarus-ass era we live in. #31HorrorFilms31Days

10. FINAL DESTINATION BLOODLINES (2025) Hollywood North brings the heat. A delight. #31HorrorFilms31Days

9. COMMUNION (1989) Was not prepared for this to be a straight adaptation of the book. I'm immersed in the World According to Whit, so I knew the notes, but someone going into this blind is very funny to me. Walken is the most otherworldly thing about this. #31HorrorFilms31Days

8. BODY MELT (1993) A touch of Tobe, a trickle of Troma, a bit of ooze from Oceanic neighbour Jackson, but very much its own oddball thing. Would make a great gross double bill with THE SUBSTANCE. #31HorrorFilms31Days

7. LONGLEGS (2023) You ever have too many ideas? #31HorrorFilms31Days

6. THE MONKEY (2025) While the dialogue and humour can be a bit overwrought at times, it mostly lands and the splatter satisfies in this piece of ape escapism.  #31HorrorFilms31Days

5. SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION (1990) It is such a pleasure to witness an artist at the height of their powers. Truly "Over 9000!" stuff. Hooper throwing heat (literally) and everyone involved from the set-director to the always-good Dourif respond in kind. #31HorrorFilms31Days

4. CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD (2025) Would be a thousand times better if they had gone with a visual motif other than the titular clown. #31HorrorFilms31Days

3. ALTERED STATES (1980) A blind spot no more, it is hard not to see this in 2025 as unintentionally one of the rocks upon which the manosphere was built. Still it is visually stunning; an 80s update of the Val Lewton recipe of transmogrification melodrama. #31HorrorFilms31Days

2. SPREE (2020) Remember the difference between 1995 and 2000? How different that felt? We've been stuck in the horrific moment portrayed in this film for forever; an endless megapixel panopticon purgatory. Track is incredible though.  #31HorrorFilms31Days

1. LAKE MUNGO (2008) Exquisitely made simulacrum of the true crime doccos it emulates. This digital-era echo of TWIN PEAKS, like the Lynch series it cites, is more a sombre rumination on isolation than a found-footage freakout.  #31HorrorFilms31Days

I've been doing a short form interview podcast (cis-het white male does podcast, man bites dog), but if you like grappling and the sound of my voice, please check it out here: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

my only take on Death Stranding 2 so far is that being able to change the like icon from a thumbs-up 👍🏾 to a flex 💪🏾 is maybe the best quality of life upgrade in the history of video games

I would've made a bad academic, but one thing I miss is that it is encouraged to ingest everything on a niche topic like concrete poetry in Toronto. Now all that mania motivation for me is poured into things like the 1996 Indy 200 at Walt Disney World.

Bought this bad boy off the shelf new and tried to get into it, but man, even back then I hated action RPGs. If this was turn-based it would probably be my fave.

E.G.G is a JRPG for Sega Dreamcast, about egg-shaped Mechs! The overworld is explored in a 2D engine, featuring all the fixings of an RPG; Towns, Shops, NPCs - all presented with gorgeous hand-drawn sprites! Combat takes the form of a rudimentary 3D Arena-Fighter, similar to Ehrgeiz or Destrega!

Y'all think Tony the Tiger is a chill hang?

@erikmissio.bsky.social @alcreed.bsky.social @onechrisedwards.bsky.social Ashamed to admit that I did not know that Joe Hendry was a judo black belt who represented his country in freestyle and Greco in his late 20s. New fave.

seeing more and more businesses using shitty obviously gen AI in storefront signage and graphic design. that’s food being taken out of the mouths of countless nephews who have photoshop

The OG Miyazaki anime is probably in my top five anime of all time.

@erikmissio.bsky.social @alcreed.bsky.social @krissyt.bsky.social @onechrisedwards.bsky.social me old da found some pretty cool plates.

This ref shaking out the guns every time someone gets punched in the dick is so funny to me.

I think what is missing with most modern wrestling is crispness in transition. The big videogame moves are executed well, but the small moments are so floaty. I want a pantomime of pain. Everything should be about damage, not working to the next spot.

I think this is the first Jey Uso singles match I have ever watched, but I did watch WALTER wrestle Sekimoto in person once.

I just read "Neutrogena" as "Neurodivergent."

Tore my frenum practicing the "gentle art" when my face was rubbed against the mats and my lips decided to stay in place.

Me too, sister.

I hate when athletes say it is "all about their family" it should be about the dubs, dawg.

Worst nepo baby of them all right here.

Working with Ben was an absolute delight. A generational talent who, in a perfect world, would have a Saturday morning cartoon and action figures I could line my bookshelves with. Thankfully he is a young gun and I still believe in the possibility of a perfect world. Here's his rendition of Saku.

Uhhhh what kind of pinball?

One thing I learned doing my first judo tournament is that the anime YAWARA! is unrealistic, because Yawara gets a ton of time to chat with people on the mats and I just got yelled at to go and fight. 📸 | Vasiliy Ryabykh / Judo Ontario

its time for Protestantism 2

Is most of America shoes in the house, or are there pockets of normalcy?

“Black South African children like Irvin drew and wrote about the apartheid security forces and its tools—dogs and Casspirs—chasing and shooting at them in their schools, streets, and homes. By the 1990s, the Casspir had become an iconic global symbol of apartheid oppression.”

happy saint patrick's day everyone

This is how I look when Yawara supports her teammates who are lifted up by the power of judo while watching the TV show YAWARA!

I had a dream last night that devolved into AI-like imagery and I was so shaken I woke up and couldn't really sleep after that. Just the thought that my ingestion levels of that slop were high enough that it has begun to colour dream life horrified me.
