As war spreads like a cancer across the Middle East, driven by Israel and the United States, we cannot forget our brothers and sisters in Gaza. Please give what you can.

Hey things finally are feeling good (personally) for the first time in months! Perhaps even years!

I honestly don’t know how to describe this feeling. I am a Bram Stoker Award nominee.
Thank you to everyone who’s ever believed in my work, my mission to never shut up about women’s trauma in the horror genre, and to myself for never giving up.

So, @mbmcandrews.bsky.social and I want to thank you at #IndieWatch for having us around tonight.

Bystanders sent us to hell and back, and we have no interest in renewing the characters within. If not for each other's friendship, we wouldn't have survived set. But she's my bestie and we...

Revenge A list of 23 films compiled on Letterboxd, including Bad Boys (1983), Cape Fear (1991), Hard Candy (2005), American Mary (2012) and I Saw the Devil (2010).

Plus it made my Letterboxd Revenge list, which is, kind of a big deal.

This final shot of the trio walking away was also the last shot of the film. The sun was coming up and we were pushing to get this shot. There’s nothing like watching at monitor, praying you get the shot because there’s no chance at another take.

Moths are really important to me and they were everywhere on set. I took them as signs that I was doing the right things and making the right decisions. I even saw my first Luna moths, with one showing up on the last night of filming. #IndieWatch

Chaney Morrow dies better than any actor in Hollywood.

What an awesome film. I’ll definitely rewatch. #indiewatch

Here’s what his corpse looks like, made from wire and shit, propped up on a big β€˜ol log. Plus an image of Ben building him. #IndieWatch

The fire here was something I was adamant about being done practically. I despise digital fire. So we found a safe and practical solution (lighting alcohol on fire in a pan and using perspective to make it look like he’s on fire). Safe is key!! #IndieWatch

That had to be a HUGE moment for you and I'm so happy for you that you got to experience it. It's one thing to work hard on something that you are proud of. But seeing that it was appreciated is next level!

Fun fact: Bob and Eric wrote a little backstory about their characters secretly being in love. That’s why Cody is so upset with Geoff’s death. If you look closely, you can see Cody mutter, β€œI love you” before Gray punches him out. #IndieWatch

Bystanders (Original Score From The Feature Film)

My dear friend @shockaholic.bsky.social did our instrumental music, including the track titled β€œThe Choke”, inspired by Abby’s line, β€œYou can choke.”
