Last self promo sorry ! But also super proud of Satranic Panic, a campy horror road trip film that follows 2 trans leads, infused w musical numbers. Made w no money & premiered at the first SXSW in Aus, also a SHUDDER exclusive & on Blu Ray. Again word of mouth is everything šŸ„¹

#LetterboxdFriday time!! Hereā€™s my #LastFourWatched This week was full of bangers. I finally filled out my Os Perkins punchcard to get myself pumped for The Monkey! #moviesky #filmsky #horrorsky

We picked a weird showtime and had the theater to ourselves for @joshruben.bsky.social ā€˜s Heart Eyes!! We were hooting and hollering the whole time!!! I canā€™t wait for a second watch šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜ #filmsky #horrorsky #moviesky #noproblem

#NowWatching Possum - if Iā€™d known this was a Matthew Holness joint Iā€™d have been on it way sooner!! #horrorsky #moviesky #filmsky

This is true. A pal of mine who is a policeman went to a Scottish island recently to investigate a missing person and when the locals found out he was a Christian they stuck him in a giant human-shaped willow branch construction and burned him alive.

Weekend Wrap-Up: The Lesbians AreĀ Here! Dear Reader, what do you do when the real-life horrors encroach upon your physical and mental health? What do you do when you feel an exponential powerlessness in the face of widespread misappropriated hate and aggression? How do we make ourselves resilientā€¦

There will be at least one post today. Maybe two if Iā€™m feeling crazy. Iā€™ve been home sick and frankly I havenā€™t stopped watching long enough to write about any of it!!

Iā€™m a normal and healthy amount excited for thisā€¦ #moviesky

#NowWatching 7am edition: Scream 3! I am in love with survival queen Sidney Prescott and even more in love with professional dweeb Dewey. Also the way Iā€™d fuck with some super short Gale Weathers bangsā€¦ #horrorsky #moviesky #horror #horrormovies

Letā€™s check in on what the Murder Clown had to say in the first place

#NowWatching Willard! (1971) This movie has rats and Elsa Manchester; itā€™s gonna be an easy sell. But if anybody hurts these ratā€™s Iā€™m gonna be real mad. #HorrorSky #MovieSky #FilmSky

"For months, the three endured these indignities because they thought that, given how much theyā€™d contributed to the movieā€™s success, the ā€œBlair Witchā€ windfall would eventually arrive. Instead, to commemorate the film breaking $100 million at the box office, Artisan sent each actor a fruit basket.

please dont look up what alucard is backwards. scariest shit ive ever seen

This meme came to me in a dream

Weekend Wrap-Up: LightningĀ Round! Did you miss me? It's been a while! Come on in, take your shoes off! Look, it's been a crazy month for everybody. At some point I gave up on horror movies and ran away into the woods of West Virginia. You do what you need to cope, I guess. Somehow I have stillā€¦

*gasp* I forgot a movie!! I watched The Leopard Man for a Sunday Scratch-Off that never was. Ah, well. It had a lot in common with Cat People but with a lot more 1940s brownface.

Chasing these winter blues and mean reds down with some Mythical Pizzaā€¦ git yinz dahn to WV for this delicious MTO ā€˜za!! ā€¦now back to the hotel to force myself to blog.

Gang, Iā€™ll be back on the horn soon. I probably wonā€™t have a major post this month, but Iā€™ll do my best to make up for it in February!!

There is not a blog post today, folks. My mental and physical health have caught up to me this week.

Oh I love an opportunity to pull this image out!!

This applies to freelance too. Iā€™m tired of outlets going ā€œsupport trans people!ā€ But they donā€™t hire trans writers to write about trans shit. I saw a million ā€œwhere are all the reviews of I saw the tv glow by Black trans peopleā€ and 0 outlets paying a Black trans person to write one.

Piper Laurie would have celebrated a birthday today #botd

This might be an unpopular opinion but I am already exhausted Nosferatu. What do we think about a film that requires you to understand all the visual references to past works?

ain't that a mood

Today is a reminder that the monsters that live in the real world can easily #trump any terror in a #horror movie #horrorsky

Scratch-Off Sunday: Who Becomes The Collateral Damage in Y2K-EraĀ Satire? I am anxious to share my opinion on this one. Guys, I know it's a classic. I know it's this brilliant satire, what with its unreliable narrator and its allegory to the excess and materialism of the Reaganistic 80s, but... Iā€¦

My computer decided to update and restart with seconds before posting todayā€™s review. There is a chance the review is lost. I cannot promise I have the emotional strength to re-write it if it is.

This trailer was my favorite part of Nosferatu šŸ„“

Hmmm, what works will be on the front page of the trigger warning database todā€” šŸ«£ I am curious to know who felt compelled to list triggers for ā€œMouthwatering Naturalsā€ā€¦

An underrated film in Lynchā€™s oeuvre, The Straight Story brings the filmmaker out to the forefront, making one of the most earnest and unironically human films out there. Without The Straight Story, Lynchā€™s filmography would seem painfully incomplete.

THP is now on Tumblr!

Weekend Wrap-Up: David Lynch, 2020, and Shy I Say, ā€œWatchĀ Safelyā€ I will be honest, Dear Reader, I wasn't sure I would have any movies to report on this week. It's not that my watching habits have diminished - on the contrary, I've been in the middle of a tv binge that is long overdue. I'm deep inā€¦

For my friends wanting to check out Lynch's work. Criterion Channel has Eraserhead, Fire Walk With Me, Lost Highway, Mulholland Dr and Inland Empire Disney+ has The Straight Story Max has Dune, Blue Velvet and FWWM Paramount+ has Twin Peaks and The Return Elephant Man is available via Kanopy

One of the reasons David Lynch's work meant so much to me is that he promised that no matter how ordinary-seeming the space you occupy, you contain an unmeasurable quantity of weirdness that deserves expression. I am promising myself that from here on out, I will try to write even weirder.

šŸ’” thank you for all the beautiful dreams and nightmares. šŸ’” RIP David Lynch

Pouring out a Coke for a real one. Thank you, David Lynch.

May the wind be ever at your back, David šŸ’” In the middle of my Twin Peaks watchthrough, too. #horrorsky #moviesky #davidlynch

RIP David Lynch. #davidlynch #RIP #americanicon #legend #filmmaker
