New Rue Morgue looks extra special, donnit?
Guillermo Del Toro AND Mike Hill discuss bringing Mary Shelley’s seminal gothic romance to the screen, and I’m here for every word of it. 🖤

Of all the narrative changes. Guillermo Del Toro had made in his FRANKENSTEIN, the expansion of Elizabeth, in purpose and agency, is my favourite. Her tender and emotional rapport with Jacob Elordi’s Creature is the beating heart of the film. Ethereal and understated work from Mia Goth.

Shared this thought elsewhere:
Aside from Clive Barker’s work (mid 80s on), my pop culture awakening came in the 1990s.
HELLBLAZER, DOOM PATROL, THE INVISIBLES, Nine Inch Nails, Tori Amos, SE7EN, PULP FICTION… the list goes on. Anyone else feel this, or did the culture just finally fit me then?

Happy Birthday, @realgdt.bsky.social .
Thank you for your vision, your love of the outsider and the motivation to give my own inner menagerie life.
This moment changed my life’s trajectory and I’m forever grateful for the kick in the ass you gave me that day.

I want to do more than “survive”.
Keeping my head above water is bloody exhausting. It’s not the universe’s job to cut me slack, but I wouldn’t say “no” to it, either.
