I made a feature film for less than $250, and it is now available through POV Horror!

It’s called .ask, it’s a found footage movie, and I made it as inspiration/proof of concept for hopeful filmmakers. Learn more here:

Stephen Miller talks like every nerve in his body is forcefully trying to reject what his mind is telling it to say but he powers through anyway & yet the most remarkable thing about him is how his eyes are more soulless than Pinhead's while his appearance entirely What If Buster Bluth Had A Wario

A horror-comedy starring Bruce Campbell as Elvis Presley vs. a soul-sucking Mummy? It’s BUBBA HO-TEP!

How about a #comicbook #movie that’s weird and fun and full of big stars? It’s DICK TRACY!

One of my biggest fantasy movie recommendations is the animated movie FIRE AND ICE!
November 22, 2025 at 2:03 PM
One of the best #alien #horror recommendations is the sci-fi thriller ALTERED!

It’s like Toy Story but with appliances! Remember THE BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER?

Today’s #foundfootage reaction is for a short film called THE PARK. Or as I like to call it “Mosh Pit Revisited”:

Terrifying and thrilling, based on a true story, and ALL SHOT IN ONE TAKE! It’s PVC-1.

Is it a #horrormovie or a comedy or WHAT? I don’t know, but BUTT BOY is definitely one of my insane movie recommendations.

I was six pages into Kurt Vonnegut’s BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS when I paused long enough to buy Cat’s Cradle & a book of his short stories blind.

Vonnegut has been the most influential writer of any kind & any medium on me. Humanist, absurd, kind, erudite. Can’t measure up to his work but always try.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

A #horrormovie set on Halloween with slashers that AREN’T Michael Myers? They’re a bunch of HELLIONS!
