By the skin of my teeth I completed
“100 Horror Movies in 92 Days”
(h/t @sarahstubbssays.bsky.social)

Here’s what I watched, and yes, I did what you should always do with art - I ranked them.
100 Horror Movies in 92 Days - 2025
A list of 100 films compiled on Letterboxd, including Weapons (2025), Alpha (2025), Hallow Road (2025), Ju-on: The Curse (2000) and Boorman and the Devil (2025).

Yokohama BJ Blues is wonderful, an early-80s Japanese spin on the likes of The Long Goodbye. ❤️‍🔥🔫

Thank you @andrewpope.bsky.social for this break down. Last year, The Substance was waving the horror banner proudly during award season. We’re hoping it’s a start for the genre to break through the barriers- again (since Get Out).
Horror quietly took over the 2026 Oscars race:

1. SINNERS sits as a broad-spectrum near-lock
2. WEAPONS has a genuine acting shot
3. FRANKENSTEIN is breaking out from its craft base

This might be the broadest horror awards year in decades. Here’s how the odds look.
The Year Oscar Went Horror: How Sinners, Weapons and Frankenstein are heading to the 2026 Oscars
This year’s horror race isn’t a wave but three separate paths: Sinners as the awards-season heavyweight, Weapons as the tension-driven craft play, and Frankenstein as the technical powerhouse now e…

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Really liked Frankenstein (2025), visually beautiful and great performances. Only major complaint is that it went too far with "Frankenstein was the real monster" and essentially absolves The Creature of any genuine wrongdoing, which screws up some major themes of the novel.

I don't know how to explain it, but there's something profoundly boring about Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein. I'm not even talking about the dumbing down of the novel's moral complexities or anything, I just mean something about the way it looks

Truly a joy to see Paul Thomas Anderson tonight. What a gift we have in this movie!
November 19, 2025 at 9:22 PM
I realise this is short notice but would anyone like my spare ticket to come and see noted film director Paul Thomas Anderson and reasonably well-known actor Leonardo DiCaprio in conversation tonight at the BFI? 8pm tonght. ❤️‍🔥

The BFI is providing a rare chance to see FIRE WALK WITH ME: THE MISSING PIECES on the big screen in January as part of their David Lynch season. ❤️‍🔥

This mag is my heart & I adore the space I've created for historically marginalized writers, critics, indie filmmakers & authors working in horror. Wahoo!!! 👻📽️📚

I want to read the last one because I love mild-to-moderate drama.
My seemingly default pitches in no order

- Black horror films
- Korean horror films
- Scare Me (Dir. Josh Ruben)
- Slasher/Hell Motel
- Festival reviews
- Scream
- Wes Craven
- POC horror content creators and podcasters doing the good work
- Editorials that aren’t spicy but will upset Karen
