My Father’s Day gift is seeing this with my wife and son today. I’ve really been looking forward to this!

Back at the movies after not being able to get here in a couple weeks.

Celebrate Friday the 13th with my essay on the franchise 👻👻

Wrote about The Wolfman (2010), a film I think is better than it gets credit for

Obligatory Friday the 13th ranking post.

Finally beginning to research and write my passion project. I’ve put it off for far too long. Let’s do this thing!

Today marks 5 years since my first article was published on @bloody-disgusting.com and I’m about to send in my latest piece. I’ve lost track of how many articles I’ve done now but I’m really proud of the work I’ve been able to do and to be a small part of that team.

Tomorrow is my son’s birthday so he got to pick the movie. He picked his favorite.

Really cool find at the used bookstore today.

I could use some book recommendations on navigating the transition from belief to unbelief. Everything I’m finding in my own searches is more about buzzwords—“deconstruction” and whatnot. Feeling like I’m on a high wire and could use some help. Thanks 😊

Watching Paddington in Peru for our family movie night and now I really want to do this double feature. (What do you think @schlockandawe1.bsky.social ? 😁)

I’ve somehow managed to avoid any trailers or synopses or information of any kind really for this. So, okay movie, take me for a ride.

For this month's DEAD Time, I had the pleasure of talking with Paranormal Researcher and musician Michael Esposito about the relationship between EVPs and experimental music. Read our interview on @bloody-disgusting.com!

Had such a great time talking about one of my favorites with @spectercinema.bsky.social

Very excited to finally be able to announce that I contributed audio commentaries on Black Sunday and Black Sabbath for this set! Humbled to be in such incredible company here.

When I was first introducing my son to horror movies, the Final Destination series was a huge hit. Seeing this in the theater together is pretty cool.

Hey y'all! I've got my first article up on @dailydead.bsky.social!! Of course, it's more #GastroHorror but would you expect any less from me? Also- shout out to @jeffreyareddick.bsky.social for answering some of my crazy questions!

For Mother's Day, I wrote about the overlooked GRACE (2009). #HorrorSky #FilmSky

Our little guy Kylo has a serious lung infection. We have some antibiotics for him. So, now just time and hope.

Taking my son to see a clown about a cornfield.

Our cat was acting strangely this morning so my wife took him to the vet. He had an x-ray. It doesn’t look good. 😔

After my kids were diagnosed I started realizing a lot of things about myself. I was going to pursue an ADHD or even ASD diagnosis but now thanks to the fuckwad eugenicist who is the head of HHS I’m afraid to do that and I’m scared for my kids. This is really just me venting. But fuck that guy.

I need this to be a real thing! Please someone do this!
