Happy to report that my wife read and loved Toadhead. Looking forward to getting round to reading it myself soon...

"What if he's not a cop but a relative of one of the victims, and someone anonymously sends him a suspect list?"
My brain earned its keep this morning. Nascent story just made a little progress.

There's a little moment in the latest Fallout episode where Ella Purnell gives a thumbs up and looks like she really is Kyle MacLachlan's daughter.

Another sighting of Toadhead in the wild (this time on FB).

Will 2026 be the year *you* discover what happens when Teddy Doucet wakes up outside a graveyard with a hungry toad on his head?

Tearing myself away from playing Spider-Man 2 to watch World's Strongest Man. It must be Boxing Day.

Playing around with the opening of a potential new story.
Title: KiRaToMu (I won't say what that means just yet).
What do you think?

The Well At The End of the World is a sublime read.

I would have loved to have seen Jeremy Brett's stage performance of Dracula. His Sherlock Holmes was the apotheosis of magnetism.

Don't hate Alien 3 because it isn't Aliens 2.

Love it for the implacably nihilistic tone poem that it is.

When I was a kid I put off reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for the longest time simply because one of my closest friends kept telling me that I had to read it.

Yeah, unfortunately I'm that guy.

I fully endorse the Looney Tunes-ification of evil in that moment! If only William Friedkin had been so bold.

My head is a coffin
Your scream is the key
When weโ€™re both done plotting
Lay down next to me

I'm really enjoying Final Girl After Dark and would go doolally for an episode on the cursed object Amityville movies. Or even an episode that just talks about the bulge moving through the lamp cord in Evil Escapes!

North by Northwest.
Hitchcock + Cary Grant.
Makes me so darn happy.

Vertigo is such a huge gap in my movie watching. I really, really should start kicking my own ass until I see it.
