Something bad is going on with the price of books, man. Today I had to put back a Ligotti paperback that was like 200 pages because it rang up for $31.24.

Absolutely loved Michael Curtiz’s Doctor X (1932). A testament to Pre-Code horror’s bite, unmatched for decades, and Curtiz’s urban expressionism is sharply spectacular shadow. But it’s the two-strip technicolor that floors me, a lost palette language that swirls this giallo ancestor in absinthe.

1. Of the creatives who've worked on the Fourth World after Kirby, who do you feel has Gotten It the most?

2. Do you agree with me that Willem Dafoe would make a great Orion
There's been some really weird pushback against recasting in general for the last ten years. Of course it seems to have started with Marvel fandom, which makes me think it was seeded to pave the way for AI

Periodically I get a bunch of notifications from this post and it makes me think I'm in trouble.
It's my strong desire to make a horror movie that features some really busted, grimy, powered by magic and spite EC Comics zombies.
Today is my birthday. I'm working on new videos but not right this second; see first sentence. If you want to get me something you can subscribe to my channel. I ask because I would like you to.

This is the kind of plot I would've come up with as a teen, and that's how you know it's awful

193. STAGE FRIGHT

Sometimes a movie killer's presence is so creepy and his deeds so nefarious you can overlook his having a dorky name like Irving Wallace.
192. THE HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY

Deeply vindicating to show this to friends and for them all to Get It. Dr. Freudstein might be the greatest movie monster.

"The hills have eyes" is a cautionary tale about having some stuff

you are not a 'content creator' you are a WRITER you do not write 'fics' you write STORIES you do not have 'ocs' you have CHARACTERS

and if you disagree, well, I'm not your boss. but if you're serious about writing it's important to hold your own craft in a certain esteem and this is one way

191. PEEPING TOM

Last thing I expected this to remind me of was Mary Poppins, but you put enough easily-surprised British people in a movie and it's inevitable.

The skeleton key to like half a dozen genres, and engaging as hell from minute one.
"His name was *Alucard*?" the stranger asked. "Surely, you didn't fall for such a simple trick."

"What?" Alucard, a vampire? I couldn't believe it. "Who are you to level such an accusation?"

"I'm Dr. Retsnom Snietsneknarf."

190. BRING HER BACK

Not to pit one movie against another--that's hardly any way to talk about art--but this eats Weapons for fucking breakfast. Brutal, surprising, so tense it made me feel seasick; that's the stuff!!
189. MADMAN

Quaint and silly in a few places, but this really does have great atmosphere. Beware the Madman Marz.
188. TRILOGY OF TERROR

Couldn't spare any terror for the first hour?
