Sandwiched between years of Halloween Pails, McDonald's mixed things up with "McBoo Bags" in 1991, a line of glow-in-the-dark vinyl bags for trick-or-treating. These hit just the right nostalgic spot for many, but never had the popularity of the Pails or McNugget Buddies.

I’m early in, but I say it’s well deserved! Can’t wait to get even further into the interviews; the untold nature of a lot of the stories is really what sold me in getting the book.

There’s an interview going around about AI, so before there are any questions, let me state unequivocally that BLACK PHONE 2 is 100% organic. AI was not used at any stage of the filmmaking from idea generation, research, look books, writing, onscreen images - anything. We’re old school and love it.

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

#TheLastDriveIn is such a natural fit for television, and I hope there are more of these #AMCFearFest offerings (maybe even other TV outings somehow?) to come. 🖤🖤 Good night out there, whatever you are! @therealjoebob123.bsky.social @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social @shudder.com #MutantFam

Well #MutantFam, we stayed up until 2 A.M. on a weeknight watching Joe Bob talking about Freddy vs. Jason.

Our middle school selves would be proud of the adults we become.

I must say, this year’s #TheLastDriveIn on #AMCFearFest was the best yet; felt almost like a regular episode! The time crunch was handled perfectly. #FreddyVsJason @therealjoebob123.bsky.social @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social @shudder.com #MutantFam
