Years ago, a nerdy music loving horror fan said 1 day I'll write a song about how much horror means to me and I'll sing it in front of lots of screaming outcasts who get it.

Thank you @therealjoebob123.bsky.social and @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social for making it a reality!

I havent seen anything here, but @therealjoebob123.bsky.social has posted on Twitter, Insta, and Facebuk, imploring all to watch Friday’s episode. A bit of emotion in his voice. Is he retiring? Are they closing the Drive-In? Is it just an ad? I guess we find out on Friday, #MutantFam.

Not liking the vibes from this message from @therealjoebob123.bsky.social about Friday. If it's the last episode I'm going to cry my eyes out. Either way we love you Joe Bob and Darcy.❀️ @therealjoebob123.bsky.social @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social #Mutantfam

Keith deeply loves the way TLDI honors movies he’s cherished for years, along with the passion and knowledge brought by Joe Bob and Darcy. Most of all, he’s grateful that the show created #MutantFam a community where, as an introvert, he’s finally felt truly at home.

I would have to say this is my favorite short story of Matheson's, and that's a tall feat. It's not too long and it keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Read the story first and then watch the movie, you'll think me later. Happy readings, #MutantFam.

Prey is famous for its adaptation by Dan Curtis for the TV movie, Trilogy of Terror, in 1975, starring Karen Black. Trilogy of Terror adapted three of Matheson's stories, with Black playing the female lead in all three.

Originally released in Playboy and Matheson's collection, Shock Waves, in 1969. Prey follows Amelia, who buys a Zuni fetish doll for her boyfriend; she accidentally removes a gold chain wrapped around the doll and the bastard comes to life. This is a masterclass of suspense.

Finally, the top story from Richard Matheson's masterful collection, and everyone's going to recognize it from the hellish Zuni fetish doll. Yes, I speak of Prey. #MutantBookClub #MutantFam

This is the short story that I feel most people remember of Richard Matheson's, and that's for good reason, because it's one of the best. I feel Matheson showcases his formidable writing with this story and the one to be featured next week.😏

The story is famous for being featured on the fifth season of The Twilight Zone and The Twilight Zone movie featuring William Shatner and John Lithgow, respectively. The Twilight Zone episode is easily in my top five episodes.

The story follows Arthur Wilson as he is flying to California. It's apparent early in the story that Wilson has an anxiety about flying; well, Wilson starts to see an apparition on the wing, and every time he's about to show someone it's there, it vanishes.

As promised, #MutantFam, today we're featuring the second best story from Richard Matheson's 'Nightmare at 20,000 Feet' collection: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet. Yes, it doesn't take the top spot, that's how good this collection is. #MutantBookClub

Tom Noonan is gone.

The man, the myth, the multi-time movie monster.

A staggering career of sinister, scary, or otherwise supporting roles, but for me, he’ll always be Jack Slater’s arch nemesis The Ripper in LAST ACTION HERO.

RIP indeed πŸͺ“

I love Richard Matheson, and I love this short story. It was the third best of the collection, and showcases why Matheson was one of the best short story writers. That's why his Twilight Zone episodes are some of the best. Until next week, happy readings.
