Just hosted a Q&A for the new 4K restoration of FRAILTY with writer Brent Hanley and producer David Blocker. God, that movie rules. I could have listened to those two talk about Bill Paxton all night long.

Also, it all plays with extra menace in 2025. Helluva film.

1000 Women in Horror From the silent era until today, the nightmares that have haunted our screen have been sculpted and embodied by women, but many of those artists have gone....

🚨 Big news 5 years in the making: some friends and I made a documentary! 1000 WOMEN IN HORROR hits Shudder soon, directed by Donna Davies and inspired by my 2020 book of the same name

If you are in Australia, I hope you can make it to the world premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival

As astonishing as the special effects are in Jurassic Park, nothing sells the moment when the dinosaurs first appear quite like the looks of wonder on each actor's face

Man Finds Tape Review: The Smartest Horror Film of the Year There’s a specific, dusty smell to an old box of tapes that sends me right back to my childhood bedroom,

"At its heart, the film is a detective story where the clues are memories and the crime scene is an entire town."

Very, very honored by this MAN FINDS TAPE review. Wow.

Just spent 5 hours straight on a rewrite and literally jumped out of my chair shouting YES!! after I sent the file like I’m in a movie or something, lol.

But when your writing sprint turns into a mini marathon and it all feels right, well…. YES!!
