I don't know that we've ever had a smarter or more prescient horror movie than VIDEODROME.

When my wife asked to watch it again tonight, I may have gotten the vapors.

Ooh! Haven't heard of that one. I'll check it out.

Jason Murphy @thestrangerous.bsky.social · 14h

Hmm. Not into resource management at the moment, so maybe I'll skip Darkwood.

I've never heard of Cabin Factory. I'll have to look that one up!

Started playing SOMA, a spooky body horror game at the bottom of the ocean from the makers of the AMNESIA franchise.

Got any really creepy games to recommend for the Halloween season?

Thinking about DARKWOOD next. Maybe VISAGE?

Annnnnd go ahead and grab yourself a copy of Kadrey's THE FLESH KING.

There's a bounty of literary horror this Halloween!

#horror #Halloween #writers

Richard Kadrey @richardkadrey.bsky.social · 3d

THE FLESH KING will be out this Tuesday! It continues Ford, Neuland, and Tilda's story back home in New York, where they are blackmailed into hunting down an immortal killer. Also, my cat says please buy it because we're out of chicken and chicken is life. 😿

So much damn fine horror to read this Halloween.

Pick up JHJ'S THE NIGHT THAT FINDS US ALL

John Hornor Jacobs @johnhornor.bsky.social · 1d

If you count a chapbook I released early in my career (which I do), and a novel I wrote pseudonymously (a football novel of all things) today marks the publication of my thirteenth novel in English. It’s called The Night That Finds Us All and is available wherever scary books are sold

There's a bat'leth joke in there somewhere.

One of mankind's greatest accomplishments is the near-constant availability of STAR TREK: TNG.

Spent the day in Mexico.
As always, it was an adventure.

Until next time, Juarez.

And for movie #2 of the Saturday night spookshow - SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES.

I have a lot of nostalgia for this one, but I really wish we'd been able to see Bradbury's much darker version.

Checking out BLOODY AXE WOUND, the follow up feature from Matthew John Lawrence's UNCLE PECKERHEAD.

Ridiculous meta-horror slapstick. I love it.

Oh no! At the moment, they're exclusive to Kindle. But I'm going to be publishing more in the coming months (hopefully?) and I really want to expand.

This vintage trailer for THE EXORCIST is still so damn effective.

I can't think of a creepier movie trailer.
