Whilst Stanley Kubrick's ‘The Shining’ and Jim Henson’s ‘The Muppet Show’ were filming next door to each other at Elstree Studios, Danny Lloyd got to visit and hang with Kermit in 1979.

this thread 😳

a cartoon character with a bald head is sweating . Alt: Doug Funnie, the cartoon character, is sweating .

I’ve run the numbers. If Doug Funnie was a real guy, he’d be 46 years old now. For some reason, this fills me with profound ennui.

Careful, you might attract Spice Bros instead.

This is an excellent long read on love and language in Clive Barker’s HELLRAISER. For all us hellbound hearts, @kitwhitfield.bsky.social has hit the nail (pin?) on the head.

Can’t wait to dig my teeth into Sara Hinckley’s THE RED SACRAMENT from @titanbooks.bsky.social. I’m powerless to resist a bit of backstage drama, not least when there are vampires involved…

My answer probably changes as often as the time of day, but right now I’m gonna say the gore-shed scene from Exquisite Corpse. 🥩 🍖 🦴

Cheers, I think I’ll do that!

Ah, see I thought about this but haven’t seen it and wasn’t sure if it was actually a horror film or not!

Or pyramid, more like? Pretty advanced shape for a toddler though!

I love Cube!

Good shout!

Triangle for triangle? (I haven’t actually seen the film, I dunno, just guessing)

Me too, but without Angus Scrimm it just wouldn’t feel right.

Can we get more horror movies based off shapes we learn as toddlers please?

Hellraiser = Box 📦
Phantasm = Ball 🥎
Ringu = Ring ⭕️

I feel like the rectangle is waiting for its moment.

I was stepping out of the shower and smashed a lightbulb with my elbow. Suddenly I had broken glass all over my naked body, and a wet appendage stuck in a live electrical socket. That truly would have been death worthy of Mr. Bean.

If you haven't already picked up The Needfire, do, and then go pre-order The Haunting of Avis Lovelock--MK Hardy are excellent friends and excellent writers and they make excellent books!

Somehow Trump is going to use tonight's unprovoked violence to increase the number of wars he says he's ended.

Favourite word?

Thank you very much!

This, so much! I’ve met a lot of people who spend years writing and rewriting this one book they had an idea for instead of just … letting it go and writing the next thing.

In my opinion this is the first hurdle on the way to becoming a professional writer, and it’s one that many stumble on.

Bonnie Bedelia, from the movie Die Hard 2.

I’m sure most people already knew this, but I just learned that Bonnie Bedelia, aka John McClane’s wife in Die Hard, is the real life aunt of Macaulay Culkin. Which means that in my mind, she’s married to Home Alone’s Uncle Frank. Sorry Bonnie. That must be rough.

Just the two of you!

Like, I wrote down “read a book”, then worried I might do that too long to get to everything else on the list. So then I added—“for 60 minutes”, and now my brain is calculating words-per-minute to somehow “win” at chilling out.

Today is my first real day off in about four months. Thought I’d write a little list of a few fun things to do with my time, and now I’ve ended up with a 26-point TO DO for fully min/maxed relaxation. Thanks, I hate it!

Some dudes from the movie ELF, giving tech bros bad ideas.

There’s a pivotal scene in the movie ELF where Buddy The Elf upsets a writer, making him storm out of a publishing meeting. The characters are sad—until they find the writer’s notebook and decide they can just publish his ideas without a contract. In a post-AI world, this makes for haunting viewing.

PM official, let’s do a bloody book!!!

Folks I cannot tell you how much I am still BUZZING.

Me, in the forest, looking up.

Me, in the forest, looking at you.
