"I've never seen any of the movies, but I sure like the idea of them," Mike Mignola once said about Mexican wrestler films. That's kind of how I am with tokusatsu shows - I've seen a few, but not nearly enough. I love following folks who are into them, though.

I dunno, guys, I think my new friend might be a little sketchy...

My favorite sentence that I wrote today (it's also true): "When I was a kid, we got a channel that showed old monster movies on Saturday mornings, which is probably the closest thing I have to an origin story."

I do not have exclusive rights to horror movies made prior to 1970, but if you ever need recommendations for great (or just weird) ones, I've got you.

I will always bang the drum for HANGOVER SQUARE. We showed it at Stray Cat a couple of months ago - a genuine masterpiece.

"Castle is often accused of trying to be a poor man’s Alfred Hitchcock, and there’s certainly not nothing to that." One more first-time watch from my favorite director.

Holy shit, the latest page of SEVER & PIERCE rules so hard!

This is a niche subject even with the niche of people who follow me, but I've recently been writing licensed fiction for the Warmachine app, and the first installment of my first 3-part novella, "The Old Ways," just went live there. steamforged.com/pages/warmac...

Anyone familiar with literally the least confident description of a story I have ever been asked to identify?

Great title fonts of the books.

Genuinely don't know how @1000deaddraculas.bsky.social manages to make such good baseball caps. I don't even *like* baseball caps.

Within 6 months, every article written on Earth will be about how terrible and irrelevant Bluesky is

I SAW WHAT YOU DID (1965) | William Castle + babysitter in peril stuff = catnip for Orrin.

There is perhaps no better argument for the fact that doing good is its own reward than the current state of evil in the world.

There are so many, but we'll be showing one later this month at Stray Cat Film Center! DARK INTRUDER (1965) began life as a pilot for a proposed TV series called BLACK CLOAK.

#Watched The Kingdom of the Fairies (1903) - How can I quibble with depicting people trapped underwater by shooting through an aquarium with live fish and staging a big puppet octopus? I cannot.

"Soon the go-go dancer population has dwindled considerably." From Richard Sala's THIRTEEN O'CLOCK, c. 1992.
