Received a gorgeous advanced copy of HANNIBAL LECTER: A LIFE from @simonandschuster.bsky.social
so naturally I did an unhinged photo shoot with it.

You can read my interview with the author, Brian Raftery, over at @horrorpress.com now. Book is out Feb 10!

Thinking about how I was chatting to a lassie about 'IT: Welcome to Derry' a few weeks ago and my sweet mother piped up with "oh, I saw an advert for that on the telly - it's the Irish version, right?"

Lads, she thought it was set in Derry, Northern Ireland.

I'm still mad about Poor Things and it shows 😅 Thanks @sharai.bsky.social for letting me vent - check out the episode below 👇

Currently rewatching THE LODGE for some nice feel-bad wintery vibes, what's everyone else watching on snow day? 🥶

Apparently I wasn't following you either so we're even 😅

The more things change, the more I rewatch Saw, apparently

Only one scene in cinematic history has ever made me curl into a protective ball in my seat at the movie theater and it was the horrific birth scene in Breaking Dawn Part II. Jesus fucking Christ...

In the summer of 2023, I visited the set of @bryanfuller.bsky.social's DUST BUNNY in Budapest, and you can read all about it in the next issue of @fangoria.bsky.social!

But first, you should go see the movie - one of my favorites of the year - which is in theaters RIGHT NOW! 🐇🐇🐇

Warning: if you recreate the Dust Bunny apartment I WILL move in immediately

Tonight, in a classy midtown Manhattan bar at a holiday function, I gradually became aware that the classy instrumental playlist they were piping in included the score to fucking Cannibal Holocaust 💀

Loudly announcing that it was the score from Cannibal Holocaust also did not go down well.

My last international horror round-up of 2025 for @fangoria.bsky.social is live! I've been doing these for three years now and it has helped me discover so many interesting international titles that might otherwise have slipped under my radar. Check it out if you wanna do the same! ✈️🌏

Rest up 🖤 🦇 🖤

Come kiki with us! ✨🧟‍♀️💅 This was a really fun chat, thanks for having me!

Completely agree!

Just a few thoughts about Dexter: Resurrection, one of the few series I watched in its entirety this year. Did you watch it? 👀

Get in besties, we're doing shots at the end of the world

Heard it for the first time this year on December 4 as two drag artists lovingly dueted it and honestly who would want to actively avoid that experience?

As we head into the weekend, I strongly recommend checking out @kierlajanisse.bsky.social's adaptation of THE OCCUPANT OF THE ROOM, now streaming on @shudder.com. A deliciously chilly little ghost story for a chilly night in ❄️

Celebrate Halloween with the dulcet tones of the late, great Christopher Lee in the BBC Archive's newly resurfaced documentary, A HANDFUL OF HORRORS.

At the Nitehawk and I just overheard someone say "and the problem is, he's only seen the first three Saw movies," and like, tea sis, that is a problem.

BHFF 2025: AFFECTION pulls off high-concept sci-fi horror with a tiny cast — Moviejawn by Samantha McLaren, Associate Editor For such a contained film, Affection is pleasantly high concept and well realized, even if it leaves the viewer with a few itches left unscratched.

MJ's @themeatispeople.bsky.social says, "AFFECTION is pleasantly high concept and well realized, even if it leaves the viewer with a few itches left unscratched."

#Affection has its East Coast Premiere tomorrow @brooklynhorror.bsky.social.

Gave this one from last year a watch and man we need Lynn Lowry in more horror!

It's been about a month since WRATH and we miss the madness 🥲

I heard you like magic 🪄🐰
