Had a great time at the Tyneside Cinema last night watching Soylent Green and taking part in a post-screening panel on the film. We talked about life, death, the environment, funeral practices, science fiction, and dystopia. So much to think about with this film. #horrorNU.
Delighted to be invited by the Lighthouse Cinema to co-write, with @docsbrown.bsky.social, the programme notes for their Fallen Angels season in October. A great programme of classic horror for Halloween. Check it out. Stay spooky! #horrorNU #halloween

Hammer to John Wick. Yesterday I was on BBC Radio London talking about Horror and Hammer Studios. Then I recorded an episode of the podcast @tippingmyfedora.bsky.social on John Wick and noir, martial arts, gun-fu, Donnie Yen, the baroque mise-en-scene, and dogs (and much more). #horrorNU #johnwick

I was having such a great time at @horrorstudies.bsky.social Horror Studies Now 25 that I forgot to post about it. A fantastic event with the coolest people and so much exciting research. Big thanks to all involved. Loved it! #HorrorNU
Spolis from the easiest peer-review gig I've had:
Q: "Should there be a new edition of Games of Terror?"
A: " Yes please"
Fantastic to see this classic finally back in print

Quite exhausted but heart, mind is always full once I depart from Horror Studies Now #HorrorNU. Horror people are the best people! Can’t wait for next year, it’s a must for those thirsty for horror knowledge and community.
Day 2 = 2 more outstanding keynotes from Maisha Wester on “Using Gaming to fight the RealHorror of Racial Necropolitics” & Max Gee “Possessed of Agency Not Possessed by the Agency of Others: Engaging in Creative Practice to Give Voice to Non-Human Perspectives Through Horror Scholarship” 👏 #HorrorNU
