All my sympathies to Lord Howe Island, those poor folks are going to be right in the middle of #CycloneAlfred.

So I’m not really worried about my house falling over in #CycloneAlfred, even though I’m pretty sure there were no qualified builders involved in its creation - but I AM worried about the empty, condemned, leaning-sideways house next door becoming a huge pile of airborne debris 😬🫠

Hey hi hello, if I am offline for a few days I am dealing with the spinny bitch that is Cyclone Alfred because my house is in an unfortunate place on the map 😂 I don’t expect our house to wash away but we may get flooded in and the internet might not work too great 😬

I will die happy if I get to see this

Puppets? Horror? John Lithgow? I mean, you had us at puppets and then you just kept going. YES PLEASE! Can't wait for this! #horror #horrormovies #horrorsky

Anyone else remember that magical moment that you graduated from Goosebumps to Fear Street 🫶🏻

Alligator sheriffs, Moira Kelly and D.B. Sweeney, and self-actualization with @jamieflanagan.bsky.social ( #MidnightMass, #DoctorSleep, #BlindManor) on Horror Makes Us Happy! youtu.be/etkxhxFGq8Q

Look I am not saying that David Lynch wasn’t great at his work or that I don’t love many of his creations. But I AM saying that he really seems to have struggled with writing women, and the treatment of women by male characters. Because Lynch’s women characters are not handled well.

Farewell Michelle Trachtenburg. A talented actress who never got enough credit. She would have made a top notch scream queen 🫶🏻

As a horror movie fanatic, I want to believe in ghosts but have never actually been able to commit to it. Now my nephew is insisting that our house is haunted. His room is downstairs, directly below mine, and he says someone is knocking on his door, rattling the door knob, and whispering his name 👀

The truth is disgustingly obvious and …. Ignored…

This looks like so much fun

Are there any horror movies that just focus on what it’s like to learn that literally every member of your family was reading your journal your entire life and learning that by being blackmailed? Families are the true horror.

I love me a killer clown

Hahaha absolutely not

#theblairwitch joins the educational coven at #pitt. It’s nice to see #horror getting its due as real storytelling. #horrorsky www.pittwire.pitt.edu/features-art...

Man, I am never moving on from RDJ’s accent in Natural Born Killers. Ours is a notoriously difficult accent to do and he didn’t even need to. The character was written American. He nails how we say ‘murdah’, not ‘murder’. He’s even got the lexical quirks of an Australian man raised in the 1960’s.

We already had Death to Smoochy, though, which feels like a spiritual predecessor to any Barney-esque tales, and it was awesome. No more large purple children’s character stories needed 😂

If you’re ever looking for some super fun Australian horror, I really can’t recommend 100 Bloody Acres enough. Australians lean heavily on humour as a coping mechanism and it’s turned us into masters of sardonic horror comedy:

Why do people in movies wake up in hospital and immediately start ripping all the tubes and needles out of their bodies? I don’t think I’ve ever woken up alert enough to do that in a hospital, and I also know those are there for a reason and I should leave them alone and press the call button 😂

There were two moments in Midsommar that I struggled: the grass in the hand and the wheat in the feet 😂 I cannot cope with plant people. Which is why I have not watched The Last of Us 😬

Did anyone who saw this film remember it by the next day?

Oh laaaaaaaaaawd I can hear the horrified reaction of the internet from here

Every day that I wake up and have to remember Kick-Ass 2 is a day I think I live in a nightmare simulation.

Never going to move on from his performance in Igby Goes Down. Top notch.

Is the Blair Witch Project actually just super early liminal space horror? 🤔

Life is pretty stressful right now. I think I’m going to go watch like 3 of my favourite films, back to back ✌🏻

Reminds me of the Anaconda films where even the ‘local guide’ character was a white American.

No Other Land wins Best Documentary at the #SpiritAwards

As long as we have 7+ billion humans just existing here on earth, I am never going to understand why our species feels such a desire to replace itself. We don’t need AI or robots. We have organic intelligence and human beings coming out the wazoo.

Keanu Reeves gives an update on #Constantine2 • Pitched a story to DC recently and they approved • Script is now being written • They've been trying to get a sequel made for over a decade • Will take place in the 'same world' as the OG film (via Inverse)

It occurs to me that Mickey and Mallory were the OG van life parents.

I’m doing a tour of television series horror, skipping the Flanaverse as I’ve seen it all. Beginning with The Terror (2018-2019).

In sad news today, one of the best character actors in counties #horror films and tv series, Peter Jason has passed away. Without him Roddy Piper wouldn’t have had the glasses in #theylive. #ripPeterJason #horrorsky www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

We've learned today that Phantasm franchise hero Reggie Bannister has entered hospice care. It's time to rally and show Reggie how much he means to us fans. Here's how to send well wishes and cards of support his way:

I don’t know why horror movies are so comforting to me, they feel like a warm blanket. Also why is Patrick Wilson in everything?

I think it’s a Rosemary’s Baby kind of Friday.

Is there anything more terrifying than the concept of a mimic? Twice in my life I saw a person in a place they absolutely weren’t present in and those are two experiences that still make me shudder.

The true horror of Rosemary’s Baby, the Stepford Wives, and the Amityville Horror is the real estate market. Oh and bad husbands.

I stand by my long-held position that horror needs its own category at the Oscars.

Why on earth would they make another one of these films, the first one was dull enough 😂 no need for a repeat.

It’s been a long day, I think I’ll snuggle into bed with a comfort film - Talk 2 Me or Incantation? 🤔
