Hello new followers! I’m a horror writer/director with a penchant for practical effects and stop motion animation. I was one of the writers of the shudder original horror comedy ‘Destroy all Neighbors’ and have several new projects percolating. Stay tuned!

Oh no. Sometimes the obituaries just seem to come in like waves. Generations pass, I suppose. The water gets closer.

Just drew some of the comic characters I came up with when I was a kid! It’s been 25 years since I’ve drawn most of these characters...
Clockwise: Mystic Mongoose, Alien P. Alien, Minky the mouse, David the Old Boot, Dogmo Barker, Jobe, G’gagaree, and, in the middle: Lody Cody!

“Sitting boy with mask and masked hands”. 1960.
#Halloween #Mask

B&W photograph of a boy sitting on a rock with an overlarge gruesome mask (blackened lips over irregular teeth, large wrinkles around eyes, tuft of "hair" on top) with enormous rubber hands mit gnarled fingers.
I SO wish I could find documents on this mask.

British folk horror and occult characters to be on Halloween, a thread.

1. Mr Fisher from Robin Redbreast (1970).
Catchphrase: “The study of religions is one of my many interests.”
You’ll need:
- Tweed trilby
- Mutton chops
- Cracked spectacles
- A copy of The Golden Bough

At the end, Bruce Willis finds out he's been dead the whole time. That's right, a dead person killed all those terrorists

Personally shocked to see Ted Sarandos understand and articulate the uniqueness of human creativity more than people spouting "AI is here to stay."

Ted Sarandos and Guillermo del Toro Unveil Stop-Motion Studio Plans and Weigh In on AI: ‘The Idea that AI will Out-Imagine Things and Humans Is Pretty Unlikely’

Guillermo del Toro and Netflix boss Ted Sarandos have unveiled plans for a stop-motion studio which will be built at France's Gobelins school.
