This got me thinking about how you'd do an actual cosmic horror story in the vein of Chernobyl and then I realized, oh, that's Shin Godzilla. No wonder I love that flick so much!

I faked reading A Tale of Two Cities the night before my report was due by skimming the first and last chapters. Got an A.

There’s an interview going around about AI, so before there are any questions, let me state unequivocally that BLACK PHONE 2 is 100% organic. AI was not used at any stage of the filmmaking from idea generation, research, look books, writing, onscreen images - anything. We’re old school and love it.

I don't like him personally, but David Simon on AI is the final word on the subject.

I managed to successfully disassemble, troubleshoot, clean, and reassemble to working order my fucky airbrush today, so I've got that going for me at least. It was a lot more trouble than a $30 airbrush deserved but better than throwing it out. Now I just need a sweet-ass fuck-van to paint.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

As many times as I've watched this on the Roku Channel, I *really* ought to just hunt down a physical copy. Anyway, I'm watching 1408 again.

At least that's an easy fix! And it looks great!

Hey y'all - sharing again as I'm really proud of the work I'm doing here & just trying to promote my writing however I can. I'm pretty good at promoting everything else but myself these days. All subs are appreciated but the paid subs will help me keep this going (plus we have a big vet visit soon).

Heatherface Wixson @thehorrorchick.bsky.social · Aug 28

Hey y'all - so everything has now been set up on Ghost officially. I'm sending an email to all current subscribers soon about what the happs are. And for those who would like to sub, I have paid & free tiers: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io (you can even tip too instead! LOL)

Here's some skeleton friends what I've drawn over the recent years

A digital painting of a stately skeleton posing in his dark office. He is wearing a red cloak, grasping it in his shrivelled hand, while his other hand rests on the dark granite slab that forms part of his bony desk. A chandellier made of bones hangs in the background, emitting an eerie green glow. A little clear gem orbit's the skeleton's head. There are notches running down the femur and humerus bones, and silver etchings have been carved into the skull.

A digital painting of a blond knight in dark armour with pointy boots and spiked elbows. She is swinging her sword with a look of fierceness upon her face, her plaited hair sustained on the wind. Her foe, a sword-wielding skeleton, is slashed in twine, pieces flying everywhere. In the far background, an old castle is visible.

A digital painting of the character Vampirella, lying on her stomach with her legs crossed in the air behind her, propped up on her elbows and resting her chin on her interlocked fingers. The colours are warm and orange, with a curious green light coming from the side. There is a red-winged bat perched on Vampirella's head, spreading its wings, and a grinning skull on the ground between Vampirella's elbows. Vampirella appears to be naked.

This is a good thread.

Ideas are *cheap*. Everybody has ideas.

Dan Whitehead @danwhitehead.net · May 26

AI evangelists are archetypal "Ideas Guys". The ones who are convinced they've come up with the best movie/comic/game concept ever, but just need actual talented people to make it for them. The inevitable lack of interest from creatives is, in their mind, the reason they've never succeeded.

The level of hatred these AI bros have for creative people I just do not understand

Beautiful wife had to cover her eyes a couple of times while I was sitting there, eyes wide, going "JESUS CHRIST" but also laughing nervously.

(I'm a bit envious of beautiful wife, who got to watch Talk to Me for the first time last night and then this one tonight! That's a hell of a good back to back.)

I have seen some *really fucking good* horror movies this year, and granted, I've still yet to see 28 Years Later or The Substance (though that one will be next week, after it hits HBO), but, holy SHIT, Bring Her Back may now be my #1 of the year.

There'd have to be, like, a 2 hour long footnote episode linked in the show notes of the main one!

Butch Curry @zombiebutch.bsky.social · 4d

Sorry, I know it doesn't solve your problem or help with all the footnotes and such but it's the first thing I thought of! 😅

Just sticking with a bit from the Navidson Records would probably be the way to go, I think!

("This is not for you" would be a good opening line though.)

Record it at super high speed, so it's longer on the inside than it looks on the outside.
