Nicole Kidman has been one of the reigning queens of the erotic thriller since DEAD CALM but we are STILL trotting out this misogynist bullshit here in the year of our lord 2k25, huh.

ICYMI: For the next installment in my β€œOne-and-Done” Slasher series, I headed back to Canada for CURTAINS, which is a weirdly disjointed movie that I still find endlessly fascinating. Check it out here:

Histories of Horror: The Mummy This article was originally written as the inaugural entry for my β€œHistories of Horror” column at Council of Zoom.

This was the first piece in my "Histories of Horror" column way back at Council of Zoom. Finally got it back online. A deep dive into the origins and inspirations behind THE MUMMY. medium.com/@nbrehmer/hi...

It's Banned Books Week! Here are some Horror (and adjacent) books that are often banned and/or frequently challenged. I have read most of them but I chose Bless Me, Ultima to read & enjoy. See if your public/school libraries have these books! Read Banned Books

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

To me, the beginning of Miller's (typically unhinged) rant is the most important part. He's saying that ICE resources have been reprioritized to deal with these "terrorists." That means that protesters are successfully impeding their progress and should feel good about continuing to do so.

a close up of a person 's face in the dark Alt: a nighttime close up of a brooding man's face- the character Eric Draven, from the movie The Crow. He has long messy hair, and his face is painted white, with gothic black accents around the eyes and mouth. A pet crow perched on his shoulder.

Damn, The Crow soundtrack just remains a fucking all-timer doesn't it? This was peak.

If I had to save a few soundtracks from my collection out of a burning building, The Crow, Spawn: The Album, Judgment Night, and The Matrix are my essentials.

Was able to make an appointment for VCA on the 13th & they were kind of enough to let me know Winnie’s labs would run us about $388 which is on top of her exam fee & meds, so I just wanted to share this again. I had two writing gigs get postponed on me this month so I’m doing what I can. 🀞

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).
