We wish a very happy birthday to MANOR Resident Pat Brennan @horrordad.bsky.social! 🎂🥳🎉🎈 To celebrate, take a look at Pat’s work from the past year: 1/3

To all of you who have read/supported my work, thank you! You're the best, and I hope you know how much I appreciate it. And to those who have given me opportunities this year (you know who you are), you're amazing. I couldn't have done any of it without you believing in me 🖤

A thread of writing from this year that I'm proud of: First up, I continued my column at Manor Vellum on the humanity of monsters in film. Want to reshare this entry on The Fly, dedicated to my friend who passed away in late 2024. Miss you Bobby 🖤

2026 promises to be a transformative year for MANOR with brand-new features on the macabre menu for you. 📆 🎁 From our residence of horror to yours, we wish you a frightful holiday season and a haunting new year! 🏠🗝️🚪💀

I have a piece coming out via @manorhq.com soon. It's probably my favorite thing I've ever written. Well aside from this fiction that I am currently writing.

Resharing because this is one of my favorite pieces I’ve written this year. Whether you’re a Grinch or not, I hope you enjoy it. 🎄

My pal Brian wrote an incredible piece about Christmas for @manorhq.com I highly recommend it. Christmas is Horror: Holiday Traditions of an Incurable Grinch manorvellum.medium.com/christmas-is...

For all the Grinches out there (like me) this one’s for you. 🎄

Yule Be Miserable's a good album! Have a large collection of Christmas CDs that are good in order to avoid the repetitiousness and uninspired programming of holiday radio.

“…this season is stressful. We all need a little release…For some it's peppermint mochas. For others it's decapitations. The movie-kind at least.” Christmas is Horror: Holiday Traditions of an Incurable Grinch By Brian Keiper @brianwaves42.bsky.social Now available 🩸📜 medium.com/@manorvellum...

One of my personal favorite pieces I’ve written arrives tomorrow. Also, some ghosts of Christmas past by myself and other Manor residents in this thread.

One of my all-time favorite Christmas stories is this episode of The Outer Limits, based on a short by some guy named Stephen King. It stars none other than Catherine O'Hara (!!!!!) as a "housewife with a loose grip on reality" and Steve Weber as the stock photo in an talking 8'x10' picture frame.

This article which is about this movie of course, but it's also about how you should maybe not travel to a family gathering if your kids are visibly sick and coughing all over the place. Do you want The Children (2008)? Because that's how you get The Children (2008).

Before our annual holiday horror 🩸 from our Resident Yuletide Grinch lands on the membrane tomorrow, catch up on all our previous traditional holiday bloodletting since 2020... 1/9

Excellent take! My angle on it was the nature of industrial accidents not as big dramatic crises but as the slow accumulation of tiny, preventable mistakes—basically this film is Bhopal as a farce—but I love how thematically rich this movie is!
