New followers welcome! Here’s what I’ve been up to. My 1st novella, I Can See Your Lies, is a supernatural thriller that’s also part Hollywood cold case and righteous female rage. It’s signed on Dark Matter Ink’s site & indie stores can order, Amazon & B&N online. 1/2

20yrs ago Gary Sherman self-financed his own wild indie film, 39: A FILM BY CARROLL MCKANE. After showing it at festivals, he felt it was too extreme & unsettling for audiences at the time. Now he's showing it again THIS SUNDAY. And I'm hosting the Q&A! Join us!

Premiere was a resounding success. Had a blast. Always an incredible honor to premiere a film at the Grauman’s (TCL) Chinese. What a wonderful audience. Hope y’all dig it as much as they did.

My buddy Zelda has very strong opinions on this stuff. A reminder that her dad left explicit instructions that he did NOT want corporations to be able to do this to him and that means us too. The bare minimum here is to respect the wishes of those who said NO.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Please tell me the secret of STARGROVE! I hear it all the time on JFC, and I don’t know what it refers to!

I wish I could be here for this! GORGEOUS 4K trailer in thread. Such a fantastic, sad, scary, political, fucked up movie that feels more relevant than ever.

Thank you for the kind words in reviewing House of Ashes!

Izzy Lee @izzylee.bsky.social · 9d

Forever grateful to @bjcolangelo.bsky.social @fangoria.bsky.social @philnobilejr.bsky.social for the 3-page spread on my 1st feature, House of Ashes. It took everything & more to get this film made, I’m honored to be included. I grew up with the rockstar director and FX artists within these pages.

BJ Colangelo @bjcolangelo.bsky.social · 9d

I will never be able to process seeing my words in my favorite publication in the world, Ya girl has 3 (!) pieces in the October 2025 issue of @fangoria.bsky.social — talking FNAF 2, BLACK PHONE 2, & @izzylee.bsky.social!

Snag your copy on the website! It’s the one with PREDATOR on the cover. 😘

Oops, the cover will be Predator Badlands in stores

Izzy Lee @izzylee.bsky.social · 11d

I’m deeply honored House of Ashes is in the OCT FANGORIA magazine. Fango inspired so many of us to join the industry and create our own stories.

Subscribers get it now; the issue with Frankenstein on 10/14.

Thank you to @philnobilejr.bsky.social for this gift.

I have to go lie down.

This year marks 13 years of @screamfactory.bsky.social!

I spoke with the incomparable Joe Dante at the company's celebratory PIRANHA/DAY OF THE DEAD screening at @vidiots.bsky.social about why companies like Scream Factory are vital to the culture.
