IN THEATERS TOMORROW: LOCKED is a taut, single-location thriller that never loses momentum as it highlights the ever-widening generational and class divide. Go to thebloggingbanshee.com/2025/03/20/l... for my review.

This handsome gent turns 14 today. Happy Birthday, Anton!

I wish someone would make a Demon Knight sequel movie (or show) about Jeryline on the road battling demons.

CINEQUEST 2025 REVIEW: VOICES CARRY gives a ghostly lens to an otherwise raw and authentic look at depression. Go to thebloggingbanshee.com/2025/03/17/c... for my review.

It’s always so interesting to see which films/articles people are interested in! I wonder what brought activity for THE OTHER LAMB after about 3 years.

NOW STREAMING ON HULU: CONTROL FREAK treads familiar ground, but manages to add something new to a tale of generational trauma by weaving Vietnamese folklore into the horrors. Click the link for my full review. thebloggingbanshee.com/2025/03/13/c...

"Stunning cinematography. Everything from the camera angles, the framing of each shot, and even the lighting lends to the beauty of Hood Witch." @mollyhenery.bsky.social Pre-Order HOOD WITCH on the AppleTV app now: buff.ly/2xr9vgJ

Premiering at SXSW last night, REDUX REDUX is a harrowing, emotionally charged story of loss and revenge with stunning performances and a subtle, futuristic edge. Click the link for my full review. #sxsw #reduxredux #themcmanusbrothers thebloggingbanshee.com/2025/03/09/r...

Holland, a PhD student, has made the archaeological discovery of a lifetime on a dig in the Philippines. When she’s abruptly sent back to her university with a gold coin from the dig, the mystery of the artifact threatens her career, sanity, and even her life. THE RUINS + UNSANE #2025pit #H #novella

My copy of INFLUENCER arrived yesterday! So proud and grateful to have written the essay included in the booklet. Limited supply so get it now from @vinsyn.bsky.social! (Note: while my last name is misspelled on the VS website and the back of the Blu-ray, my name is correct in the booklet itself!)

Two days ago I told @mollyhenery.bsky.social that I wanted to make a table to match my #TheSubstance merch. She said it was a great idea, so I did! The prototype is here, complete with twin yolk coasters. Would you buy this table for your home? 🍳🍳 #horror #homedecor

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is one of those movies that’s so so very bad, but also fun to watch. Yet if you think about the plot, it actually could have been a great film!

I almost forgot to share that today is the 10 year anniversary of The Blogging Banshee! In that time I’ve written over 500 reviews and lists. Of all my reviews, my piece on Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is by far the most viewed (which is also wild since it’s less than a year old).

This is the first time in a while we’ve been able to get each other gifts. Dan and the rest of my family did a great job (yes the crowbar was one of my gifts). Finishing today’s festivities with a screening of NOSFERATU then home for more holiday films and coziness. Merry Christmas!

Despite having watched Trading Places almost every December for over 30 years, I somehow only just noticed this random cellmate on the left is fucking Giancarlo Esposito!

One of these days I’ll find a publisher for my archaeological horror novella. One of these days! (I’ve only submitted it to one publisher years ago. I’m not good at the submitting part. 🫠)

Made my first sourdough loaf today! It looked a little rough but tasted amazing. Belial (my sourdough starter) was a big help.

Anyone have recs for a good horror book about Baba Yaga?

Me hiding and trying to get my dogs to stop barking whenever someone rings the bell:

I just had an Instagram story removed for JOKINGLY saying I would curb stomp anyone who talks shit about my fur babies, yet they’re still ok with people spewing racist/homophobic/transphobic/zionist hate all over peoples’ comment sections.

I'm super excited about today's mail. I usually don't spend money on myself this time of year. But I knew no one was buying this for me. Queer Horror: A Film Guide. by Tyler Doupé , @gayofthedead.bsky.social @mollyhenery.bsky.social . I can't wait to dig into this.

Me to Dan while watching Hot Frosty: I’m sorry but no medical professional would ever use that font.

Every year when I watch P2 I can’t help but wonder, especially these days, how many men watch how disturbingly unhinged Thomas is without realizing they’re just like him.

This might be controversial, but I think Noelle is a better Christmas movie than Elf. Similar main characters, but Noelle has an earnestness to experiencing the regular world for the first time while Elf is basically watching a giant man baby (still enjoy it though).
