Deciding to chaotically start doing drag at the ripe age of 32 has been truly liberating, but nothing will make you feel older faster than watching a 23 y/o throwing themselves around the stage like it's nothing, then giving yourself two-week bruises just for skidding across the floor on your knees.
Do it then come talk to me about it because I'm not done talking about Dust Bunny!
It's becoming problematic how many unsuspecting friends I have tricked into watching Wish Upon (2017).
This movie was great. I loved Luz too from the director.
MJ’s @themeatispeople.bsky.social says, “What is impressive about 1000 WOMEN IN HORROR is not its depth but the sheer amount of ground it manages to cover in a little over 90 minutes.”

If you're looking for an alternative to LEPRECHAUN tonight, @fangoria.bsky.social let me put together a lil list that's full of Irish folklore, drunken shenanigans, and even a little Gaelic. Check it out and let me know what you're watching (or what I missed)! 🍀
I like a weird slow burn. If you also like a weird slow burn, this one is interesting (and Scottish!)
This was a lot of fun and I will always seize the opportunity to tell people about RAVENOUS, an underrated queer cannibal gem 🥩
It was a lot. I have visibly aged.
12. Capped it all off by sulkily telling me that he knew we'd both be sleeping in our own beds that night after I carefully extricated myself from the situation. I had already pointedly told him I was gay to get ahead of this, but I think he still thought he had a shot. He was twice my age.
10. Drunkenly divulged secrets about his company, I'm pretty sure?? I don't care enough to do anything about it, but hilarious.
11. Unwittingly divulged secrets about his company's in-progress deal with the company I currently work with. (See above, but goddamn.)
9. Heard last call & asked them to give him a large glass of red wine. They said they only do one size. Asked for two glasses instead & then asked them to pour them into the same glass to save washing. When I tell you that glass was filled to the goddamn brim, I'm not exaggerating.
8. Told the bar staff I'd be getting a second glass of wine, ignored me completely when I politely, calmly said I thought I was done for the night, then ordered it for me anyway (that's partly on the staff tbh, they watched and listened this whole thing, come on guys back me up)
5. Mentioned it's a scary time in American politics, then proceeded to endorse what's happening
6. Casually dropped the words "colored" & "ethnic" repeatedly while doing so
7. Listened to my calm, polite rebuttal then painfully slowly, largely incoherently explained to me why I'm a dumb woman
1. Brushed my thigh
2. Squeezed my bicep (literally why)
3. Stroked the shaved part of my head (come on, dude, really??)
4. Told me he was having his first smoke in months despite reeking of them (Not as serious but funny)
Sitting at my hotel bar tonight reading my book about the Scottish witch trials and having a quiet drink, a 60+ year old man approached me and struck up a conversation. Because I am an idiot, I didn't immediately shut it down. Here is a thread of things that transpired, in no particular order 🧵
As a former contractor at the hellscape that is LinkedIn, "cursed LinkedIn posts" certainly sounds familiar....
I have some reservations about WHISTLE, the new teen horror flick from THE NUN dir. Corin Hardy (and THE HALLOW, which is worth checking out!) but I can't deny it's got some wickedly vicious kills. I especially enjoyed the contortionist work from Twisty Troy James & co.

Honestly I love a costume so I'm gonna check it out just for that!
There's some banger international horror coming out this month by the looks of it! I'm especially curious about South Korean anthology GHOST TRAIN but the sapphic vibes of DIABOLIC also have me intrigued.

Don't forget the bedazzled lungs 🫁
Received a gorgeous advanced copy of HANNIBAL LECTER: A LIFE from @simonandschuster.bsky.social
so naturally I did an unhinged photo shoot with it.
You can read my interview with the author, Brian Raftery, over at @horrorpress.com now. Book is out Feb 10!

Thinking about how I was chatting to a lassie about 'IT: Welcome to Derry' a few weeks ago and my sweet mother piped up with "oh, I saw an advert for that on the telly - it's the Irish version, right?"
Lads, she thought it was set in Derry, Northern Ireland.
I'm still mad about Poor Things and it shows 😅 Thanks @sharai.bsky.social for letting me vent - check out the episode below 👇
Currently rewatching THE LODGE for some nice feel-bad wintery vibes, what's everyone else watching on snow day? 🥶
Apparently I wasn't following you either so we're even 😅

The more things change, the more I rewatch Saw, apparently
