Thank you! I consider that the highest compliment!

The way I‘m ready to write whole seasons of FOREVER KNIGHT and/or FREAKYLINKS right here and now.

TROLL 2 re-release footage is “critical” to having more TROLL 2.

My hope for every piece of art is that people engage with it for what it is and not with what they want or expect it to be

I'm in a fucked up horror film called BUDFOOT! It's a 4/20 holiday film

The best!

A portrait of Patrick Muldoon

I am shocked and saddened to learn of Patrick Muldoon's passing. Patrick starred in the first TV Christmas movie I was ever hired to write...and his kindness and enthusiasm made the experience all the more special. A wonderful talent with a pop culture impacting resume, he will be truly missed.

Shaun Cassidy is the devil’s music!

I'm here for Alice in Chains and The Rage: Carrie 2 both!

CARRIE is that girl.

THE RAGE: CARRIE 2 is also that girl, but she listened to Alice in Chains in the parking lot first.

Well, I would if I hadn't made a typo. Haha.

There's a thing where you put gelato in coffee, but affogato what it's called.

I will always love the knowledge that COURAGE THE COWARDLY DOG was nominated for an Academy Award.

A picture of a man becoming a werewolf MONSTROUSMUSINGS Let Them Cook By Phil Nobile Jr. I had two utterly singular experiences at this year's Overlook Film Festival: I interviewed the great Rick Baker about An American Werewolf in London for a Future Fango Thing; and | moderated a Q&A for Larry Fessenden's "Monster Quadrilogy," which screened his films Habit, Depraved and Blackout before his new one, Trauma or, Monsters All, which ties the aforementioned three films together in an audacious and surprising way. In my interview with Mr. Baker, he talked about a frustration with the industry that led to his retirement a decade ago. I'm paraphrasing, but he said something along the lines of how, when you're at the point where you're getting notes from meddling producers about the shape of a monster's eyebrow, or the placement of its nose, you realize you're in a system where art and passion and creativity cannot exist, much less thrive. Mr. Baker decided that's not where he wanted to be, and promptly dipped. Now, he's still happily creating and blowing fans minds on Instagram, but he's following his bliss instead of dopey producer feedback, and the beautiful work on his account emanates pure joy. "I retired from the business, I didn't retire from being me," he told us. Thank goodness for that.

In today’s Terror Teletype: when producers hire artists and second-guess their every move, everyone loses.

I actually really like this one. I agree that Chaney is a weird choice, but the attempt to do a Southern Gothic with Dracula on the THIRD movie is...fascinating.

Lee Majors' The Mummy

Perhaps I’ll have one made!

Why do I know exactly what bookstore you're referring to?

Hell yeah.

Though perhaps deeper cuts even for a cult audience, this duology of films starring Craig Russell merits discovery and discussion. They put drag and authentic queer spaces on screen at a time when neither was oft seen at the movies. Made a decade apart, they are joyous and devastating history.

(You're right and you should say it)

Live your best life.

Italian horror makes my heart feel Fulci.

An absolute MUST.

My favorite of the sequels.

You're far too kind.

EVIL DEAD BURNS is actually a reference to the witty punchlines made at our hero's expense.

I know that whenever I see a movie about killer lawnmowers or a shark with a candy cane horn, I can call @donatobomb.bsky.social and he'll understand my enthusiasm. A bond forged by strange cinema and a mutual understanding of dramatic Italian relatives is the truest of true. Happy Birthday, Matt!

A duology of posters side-by-side for 1977's OUTRAGEOUS and 1987's TOO OUTRAGEOUS. The OUTRAGEOUS poster depicts star Craig Russell as Carol Channing in four different pastel-colored panels behind the film's title. The poster of TOO OUTRAGEOUS show cases Russell in drag as Mae West against a black background. The tagline reads: "When the going gets tough, the tough get GORGEOUS!"

Do something dazzling! On this week's @midnightmasspod.bsky.social, Peaches and I are celebrating 1977's OUTRAGEOUS and 1987's TOO OUTRAGEOUS! We're joined by drag icons Cotton Venus and Jimmy James to talk Craig Russell, authentic queer history, & more! midnightmass.buzzsprout.com/1796691/epis...
