Oh man! I really dug this. What a gem. I find the creativity and authenticity at this budget level really inspiring. Go in as blind as possible. Shout out to @freddyinspace.bsky.social for putting it on my radar. Had no idea it existed until he posted about it.

I saw a wonderfully gruesome horror movie called BRING HER BACK this afternoon. Thoughtful, textured, and scary as hell.

On the first day of Christmas,
Art the Clown gave to me,
some TriNitroToluene. 🧨💥

A picture of a Lego scene I made of the mall scene from Terrifier 3 where Art the Clown is dressed up as Santa and sitting in the Santa chair waiting for kids to come up and meet him. There’s a little boy opening a box labeled T N T to the right of Santa Art while a bunch of kids and parents wait to meet Santa.

A dream interview was chatting about WEREWOLVES with SFX legend Alec Gillis. Of all the movie monsters he's delivered in his impressive career, this marks his first werewolf! And he's already champing at the bit for a sequel:

How 'Werewolves' Reminded Practical Effects Legend Alec Gillis of Working on 'Aliens' [Interview]

Filming Werewolves not only gave SFX legend Alec Gillis his first werewolf feature, but it reminded him of Aliens. He's ready for more.

I can't believe some old video store practically gave away the Christmas classic "Silent Night, Deadly Night 5" with a 39-cent rental.

Few things I love more than coming across Gremlins on TV during the holiday season. I'm tired. I was about to go to bed. But it can wait. I don't leave Kingston Falls until the movie kicks me out.

Annual reminder that The Munsters escorted Santa in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade back in 1964. Fred Gwynne reportedly got drunk and was shouting at everyone. Isn't that what the holidays are all about? Happy Thanksgiving!

The dirty little open secret to writing is that no one will ever know, nor care, how many drafts of a thing were written - people will only ever care about the crafted thing, and will, despite all knowledge to the contrary, assume it came out fully formed that way. No one thinks about shit drafts.
