I have zero interest in the Oscars, does…does this mean I don’t care about moobies anymore??

Beginning the edit on our fun horror/D&D ep of Frightseers Future Proof - ‘Slasher Fiction’. We’ve got a new composer & animator on board, but we need your help to make this work. We are raising funds for the animation and music at ko-fi.com/frightseers Please consider helping us. Check it out!

It’s Friday, so have an Orange Cat poking his tongue out.

Loved NIGHT TIDE (Curtis Harrington, 1961). Could well be a beatnik Val Lewton/RKO production. Beautiful leads, fantastic soundtrack, dreamy, mythical California setting. Like slipping into a deeply comforting opium dream.

Depression sucks ass

What is Shoegaze Horror? A Ghost Story, We’re All Going To The World’s Fair, Skinamarink and beyond… a horror cinema of ghosts, memories, and slow-burning dissolution, dislocation, dissociation, depersonalisation & derealisation. I take a walk through 17 films… 📽️👻 whitlockandpope.com/2025/02/23/j...

I love this. I remember answering my home phone by announcing my telephone number, which started off with 4 digits, then turned into 6, then 7, all of which are forever seared into my brain. Over time I dropped this formality and now I just don’t answer the phone.

What’s up? Everything’s up.

How I feel about my students right now

We found out today that the theme tune to our Frightseers episodes will be recorded by a live orchestra. To help make this and everything else a spectral reality we are raising funds for the animation and music by running a Kofi at ko-fi.com/frightseers If you can help us that would be amazing!

Too bad Amazon, you missed out on the greatest spy casting ever by 9 years. www.aboutamazon.com/news/company...

You need to clean my window daddy. I still can’t fit through this. I can’t even see through it.

Spent today editing Ep2 of Frightseers Future Proof. Lots of fun. Our deaf actress Georgie Ellis ROCKS! Raising funds via Kofi for our soundtrack and animation costs. Help us to make this fab project even more FAB. ko-fi.com/frightseers

Seems counter productive in this day and age to watch the BAFTAs when all the awards have been announced already. I’m going to sleep.

We’re welcoming a new composer Sam Moss and animator Eve Penny to the mix for FRIGHTSEERS and we are running a Kofi to accommodate the music and animation costs. It’ll be worth it but we need your help at ko-fi.com/frightseers/ Help us. Share us. Thank you 🙏🏻

Brrrrr. Chilly Tig Cat.

One of my students watched Groundhog Day yesterday. They said, without irony, that it was a bit repetitive.

We’ve had this dude for 6 years now. He was a rescue at the age of 6 so into his senior years now. Wouldn’t change him for the world. Love Tig. Love him! 😻

Grumpy Sunday

I’ve woken up in a can’t be fucked mood. No work is gonna get done today…

Nose of Tig

Brody forgets to put his teeth away 🤪

About to work with an amazing 2D animator on stuff for Frightseers. Very exciting to be working with another ex student of mine who is now making strides into the creative worlds.

If any boutique bluray label is looking to do a BMX Bandits special edition bluray or UHD 4K I’m happy to write all the booklets and do all the commentaries for it. Its in my top 3 movies everrrrrr horrorcultfilms.co.uk/2013/11/bmx-...

Snoozy paws

Might start posting more on here as all the good’uns are now moving over. We are in the process of making a multi series web series called Frightseers, starring a bunch of talented indie folk. First ep is showing at Horror on Sea in January. Think Agatha Christie, with Ghosts.

This is why I write. This is why @FRIGHTSEERS should be made the way we envisioned it. Thank you!!! Thank you for reading Alex Nathan Woods FRIGHTSEERS Crowdfunding til Thursday igg.me/at/frightseers

Editing this right now

Engagement on here is almost as poor as the other place. I think 2025 is the time to finally just say bye to all of this.

We are always looking for new actors to join our Frightseers project as we move it forward this year. Think Agatha Christie but with Ghosts and you’re halfway there. Drop us a spooky message, both voice actors and person actors 👻 Check it out on the QR code below.

One of my ex students is nominated for Best British Short Film. I feel deep down, somewhere, maybe in the lint in his pocket, I am partway responsible for that.

In a hotel room, alone. Need to get up to use bathroom in middle of night so i think ‘shall I turn the lights on, or shall I be discreet…’ I’m in the hotel room on my own, fucking idiot! Fucks sake!!!

This was the news yesterday that made me sad. Jaws 2 is AMAZING. variety.com/2025/film/ne...
