Thrilled to have my short story "Don't Look" featured (and wonderfully read by Jennifer March) on episode 712 of @talestoterrify.bsky.social. Available now!

Tales to Terrify @talestoterrify.bsky.social · 19d

Welcome to episode 712. First, a woman running from her past battles curiosity at the sounds in the attic. Then, a girl carries her guilt deep into the subway where she shelters from the apocalypse with a band of misfits.

An under-the-radar #horrorsky release I'm looking forward to this week is Takeout on Tubi. Director Jem Garrard's previous films (Invasive 1 & 2, Slay, Killer High) have all been fun and wonderfully inclusive, and this one looks to be the same.

I was a bit disappointed with the first one, in part because it was half a story, but hopefully 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (directed by Nia DaCosta) will finish the job. youtu.be/EOwTdTZA8D8?...

I fully expect Snoop to have his own Fox News show by the end of the year.

Snoop Dogg Says ‘I’m Scared to Go to the Movies’ After Pixar’s Gay Couple in ‘Lightyear’ Led to Questions From His Grandson: ‘These Are Kids. We Have to Show That at This Age?’

Snoop Dogg says he's scared to go to the movies with his grandchildren after Disney and Pixar's 'Lightyear' included a gay kiss.

This isn't hard to predict. First, they go after people who "look illegal" (brown), then people who "look like terrorists" (Muslim), then people who "look like criminals" (black), then people who "look like predators" (LGBTQ+), then people who "look like spies/Communists" (Asian).

"Don't be smoking outside."

That is not a law. It's literally where you're supposed to smoke.

#Weapons had the 3rd highest opening for an original (non-IP) film of the decade, behind #Sinners and Nope. A great argument for studios to invest in high-concept, original horror that doesn't have to rely on promising a sub-$10 million budget in order to get greenlit.

Not sure I've ever experienced the highs and lows of cinema in such close proximity as when I watched #Weapons in the theater and then came home and watched the Ice Cube Amazon wet dream/stock footage montage #WaroftheWorlds on the same day.
