Woohoo! One of my favourite spooky conferences in glorious Cork.

That’s not the rule and you know it.

It’s World Goth Day. Here we see the essential difference between the American & English mindset.

I'm thrilled to bring the 'Peele & The Furious Five' Workshop to StokerCon 2025! 5 Tools, Endless Story Power: characters under pressure, twisted POVs, generational trauma, hero vs. villain dynamics, climaxes that hit & reframe everything! Join me! www.eventbrite.com/e/stokercon-... #StokerCon2025

The new season of 'Andor' is wild. We've had attempted rape and men choking women (urgh and urgh) BUT we've also had the greatest homage to The Simpsons in sci fi. "Who the devil are you?"

Too long, didn't read? If you like 'Adolescence' or 'Baby Reindeer', then watch 'I May Destroy You', 'Unbelievable', and 'Until I Kill You'. Engage with women's stories, Black women's stories, and Black men's stories of sexual violence, too. www.transformingsociety.co.uk/2025/05/08/a...

Morning Heathens.

February. Get ink, shed tears. Write of it, sob your heart out, sing, While torrential slush that roars, burns in the blackness of the spring. "You can't break that which is not yours." www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtb6...

Let's be real, we need this. Covid, Brexit, riots, cost of living crisis... I'm putting a lot of therapeutic value on this film.

Rewatched 'Willow' in honour of Val Kilmer. How the heck is Warwick Davies only 17 in this film? He acts the hell out of it and plays a long suffering dad so well.

Registration for the Youth & Horror conference, 1-2 July at University of Birmingham, is now open! Hooray! Get your delegate pass here: shop.bham.ac.uk/conferences-...

This looks extremely interesting!

2025 Easter Bunny

Put up by Katy Brand today - this is the story over and over again

'Until I Kill You' has wrecked me. What an amazing woman.

Just discovered this artist - j'adore Hari Ren's work, so beautiful.

This looks AMAZING - 'Ugly Stepsister', out in April. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz_b...

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

On the rewatch of 'Alien: Romulus', Andy (David Jonsson) is an incredible character and Jonsson should have been Oscar nominated for his portrayal. Such heart.

Good morning, how are you #HorrorSky? Have an awful meme from myself. Iykyk.

Happy International Women's Day to me, to @clairedederer.bsky.social, and to whoever made this excellent cake.

BREAKING NEWS: Canadian Premier Wab Kinew of Manitoba MOCKS Trump by signing a “beautiful” order that officially removes ALL American liquor from Canadian stores in his province. Donald Trump just caused massive economic damage to our country. How sad and embarrassing.

AOL warned us of the dangers of logging on. It would play for us the screams of the damned. But we didn’t listen. We didn’t listen.

This looks SO GOOD.

If you see this, quote with a horror film you love.

Horror fans! This week our free panel 'What about the men? Masculininty in Horror Film' takes place on Wednesday 26th Feb, 7pm, online. Come and join us for some good chat. forms.office.com/pages/respon...

Finally gave in and watching 'The Conjuring 2' (I don't love these films but meh) and please can someone explain the random and extremely cringy Elvis singalong in the middle? What am I watching? What is happening?! WHY?

Remember to keep joy in your revolution. Community justice is also about the right to have spaces that *aren't* just concerned with survival.

I will be part of a wonderful panel discussing 'Men and Masculinity in Horror'. Wednesday 26th February at 7pm on zoom - join us! I'll be speaking on contemporary horror film and why we need varied and more progressive representation of men, for men. #BAFTASS forms.office.com/pages/respon...
