Programming my own horror fest. 1st was VAMPYRES (1974). Rewatch. Thanks @elrickane.bsky.social for the reminder as this is a great opener to a marathon. Dripping with atmosphere, wine, and blood. This is my kind of horror. Love the two not-so-dead girls. Also, don’t camp near a creepy mansion.

Watched two Bill Crain movies. Mostly due to @elrickane.bsky.social on @purecinemapod.bsky.social. Mirage (Bill Crain, 1990) and Midnight Fear (Bill Crain, 1991). Both are absolute bangers with endings you don't see coming. Btw. You can watch Mirage on a YouTube rip. But Midnight Fear is on Prime.

Happy to have contributed to @letterboxd.social's 24 Underseen Horror Films by writing about my favorite feature of horny, depressed filmmaking--Larry Fessenden's HABIT.

Stop what you're doing and watch this Cassavetes castlevania of toxic love and vampiric sex RIGHT NOW.

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life:

1. Watching Buster Keaton movies

2. Listening to a score while you walk & pretending like you’re in the movie

3. The way the tape goes into a VHS player

4. Reading something that makes you feel less alone

5. Really old movie theaters

1. Cold side of a pillow
2. Autumn in New York City, sweater-weather temperature
3. Crocs (the shoe, not the reptile)
4. Finding stuff after thinking you lost it
