On this day in 1996, Scream hit theaters and shocked the genre back to life! It brought slashers back into the mainstream, reintroduced mystery and tension, and showed that horror could reflect on itself without losing its edge. Ghostface became an instant icon!

Hip Hop and Horror have always shared the same shadows. From Geto Boys’ Mind Playing Tricks on Me to TRU sampling John Carpenter’s Halloween, the two genres grew side by side. Sometimes playful, sometimes terrifying, always raw. Check out my new article on #Medium.

Ryan Coogler’s Sinners is a haunting, beautiful blend of Black history and horror. Some scenes hit my spirit hard. It’s not just a film—it’s a cultural milestone. #blackcinema

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
