Absolutely bowled over that Lisa Kudrow has had a DEAD-ON Parker Posey impression this WHOLE time.

A Haunted House If there can be Christmas in July, why not some Halloween in March?

Wrote another little spooky story for those of you who have a premature case of the Fall wantsies.

Watching “Pillion” was pretty wild until I realized that getting a BFA in Acting was fairly comparable. Lotta roleplay and moving furniture at the behest of a mean, tall man.

His Eyes A scary story for today.

I’ve been thinking about Rod Serling’s work a lot lately. So I wrote this little yarn.

Following up but no rush

Truly one of the funniest people who ever lived. There are no laugh lines in this entire sequence and yet she effortlessly makes a comedic meal out of every moment.

This is why they want us talking about day care centers and $500 boots.

My whole vibe for the next 12 hours in NY

This part of the last chapter in Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” always brings tears to my eyes. Scrooge goes from fearing, resenting and isolating himself from humanity, to finding the joy of immersing himself in it. A reminder so potent today it makes my heart ache.

Air travel reeeeally brings out my Catholic upbringing. I just earnestly had the thought “People these days don’t feel enough shame.”

The Tree of '95 A holiday memory of the Frasier Fir that nearly broke my family

Happy Halloween!

This is pretty much exactly what it’s like to be gay.

Deleted post-credits scene from “The Shining.”

Oh you think art is BORING, eh? Well allow me to introduce you to “De Dood” by Simon Fokke.

Trump is asking us to start choosing groups we're willing to abandon, and the only way to make him stop is to be clear we're not fucking abandoning ANYONE.

Call your reps. Call your fucking reps. Especially in red states. Use the @5calls.org app, it's easy and free.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.

(Lights up on Norah Jones dressed as Jaws)

“I waited for Quint’s anecdote
Then started to destroy his boat
He tried to surface me with barrel floats.
Don’t know why Quint’s in my throat. Don’t know why Quint’s in my throat.”

Good news! Anna Drezen’s cult romp “Praise Petey” is now available to stream on Prime Video! It was such a fun show to work on with so many talented folks, plus Al*x J*nes had a meltdown over it and called us all warlocks or something which was frankly better than an Emmy nomination. Go watch!

Did y’all know that in 1978 there was an ABC tv movie called “The Initiation of Sarah” in which a college sorority pledge discovers she’s a witch thanks to her evil house mother played by Shelley Winters and then this happens to Morgan Fairchild?

Spooky Sunday: The Changeling (1980) & Chocolate Cobbler What do a haunted house classic and this comforting dessert have in common? They're both hiding something.

Today’s Spooky Sunday pairing is a very easy Chocolate Cobbler recipe and an achingly frightening haunted house film, 1980’s “The Changeling.”
