I suppose I should promote myself on here a bit more, yeah?
My research focuses on horror, mostly through the frameworks of gender and sexuality.
Here is my most recent publication on queer horror/experimental filmmaker Curtis Harrington:

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

Eddington is quite disappointing. It feels like a 2.5 hour South Park episode in that it tries to critique "both sides" but never actually says anything of substance. A very frustrating watch.

Final Destination: Bloodlines is a hoot and a half. Probably the most fun I've had at the movies since Barbarian.

Linda Williams is one of my favorite scholars. Much of my own research is grounded in her ideas. She will be deeply missed.

Mickey 17 is unfortunately disappointing. The first half is great, the second half is very messy. Too many characters and too many plot points that don't go anywhere.
It felt like a lot was left on the cutting room floor.
