I’m currently writing a middle grade horror story about a girl who discovers a wishing well in the backyard of her new house. However, the monster living at the bottom of the well may not be as friendly as it seems. I’m so excited for my project! 😊 🖤

If you are going to pick up a book this fall make it @tananarivedue.bsky.social “The Reformatory”. Incredibly written. Draws you in with raw and gut wrenching storytelling that reminds us all of the strength in telling our stories — not just for us but for all of those whose voices were silenced.

A regular critique I have with movies is "It didn't know if it was supposed to be serious or silly."

I don't think I've ever said that about a trailer before today.

That said, this silly trailer (that also features very dark scary stuff) did kinda win me over. 🤷🏻‍♂️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=az8M...

Happy book birthday to BLACK FLAME by @scumbelievable.bsky.social!

“Depraved, shocking, & devastatingly beautiful. A hypnotic cosmic horror journey that travels both outward & in, pushing through the viscera & slime to reveal something truly profound about the nature of art itself.” ―Chuck Tingle

Five years after its discontinuation, BookCon has been revived by event organizer ReedPop in a very different pop culture landscape for books. The consumer-facing show is set to return to its old home at New York City’s Javits Center next April—much to the surprise of many in the book business.

BookCon Will Return in 2026

I don’t remember this, but between being terrified of Tales from the Crypt and Tales from the Hood, this would have traumatized me

Remember when The Crypt Keeper became a rapper and dropped the hottest jam of 1992?

I want an in-depth oral history of the Crypt Keeper puppets. Seems like in some media its a fully servo operated head and in other, like this video, it’s like a muppet style puppet with some servo facial features. How many kinds of Crypt Keeper were there? EXPLAIN IT, PUPPET PEOPLE.

Did I see Sinners again Saturday? Yes. Am I planning to see it again with my mom for Mother’s Day?Also yes. I don’t think a movie has ever given me the chill like Sinners has.
