We've got a great essay but from the great @gavia.bsky.social about how hagsploitation made a surprising comeback in horror this year www.inverse.com/entertainmen...
2025's Biggest Horror Trend Is A Regressive Step Backward
With two of the biggest horror movies of the year, the "hagsploitation" genre made a big comeback. But is it the one we wanted?

udo kier appeared in many of my favourite films but i most recently saw him in werner herzog's sensational MY SON, MY SON, WHAT HAVE YE DONE where he performs alongside a cast of eccentrics (willem dafoe, michael shannon, chloe sevigny, &c) and gets his glasses stolen from his pocket by an ostrich

went to see bad omens last night and wondered if the band members had ever met each other before going onstage together www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...
Bad Omens review – anthemic songs and pillars of fire dampened by arena nerves
Noah Sebastian’s vocals switch deftly from croon to scream to whisper, but the genre-hopping US metalcore band lack chemistry on the big stage

Everything became cooler if Udo Kier showed up and by God, he might show up anywhere. His journey ends but he'll still be surprising me years from now. RIP.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve interviewed Marissa for various publications (6, maybe?) but it’s always a great chat. There’s a scoop in here too about a brand new band she’s a part of… 👀

#30: that's nothing compared to the fury of a woman who has been cheated out of trick-or-treats
Toward the end of October, I saw someone say that sometimes, Halloween is three weeks long and that sometimes there is NO Halloween at all.

There are so few outlets that actually publish reviews at this point, and more keep being shuttered. This is such a massive cultural problem that keeps getting worse. I don't have a solution or really anything positive to say at this point. It's just really, really bad.
Today, Paste Magazine shuttered all its non-music verticals, a choice I am both professionally and personally heartbroken about. Sadly, I am once again looking for a place that wants to let me write about Books and TV on the regular, so hit me up if that’s you or anyone you know.
