Stay tuned tomorrow as we unveil our December schedule.

What do you hope to see in the last month of 2025?

Jump on the #HQAdventCalendar bandwagon for some festive horror watches!

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

It’s the beginning of the end of HANNIBAL S02 as @tracedthurman.bsky.social and I cross out episodes 2.11-12

@jennferatu.bsky.social and I are spending Dec talking about all of the different iterations of THE STAIRCASE (2004/2013/2022)

‘Thirteen Lives’ Chronicles a Risky Rescue [Murder Made Fiction Podcast] On Saturday, June 23, 2018, twelve young members of the “Wild Boars” soccer team and their coach became trapped in the rapidly flooding Tham Luang cave in northern Thailand. As part of a global rescue...

ICYMI: @jennferatu.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social wrapped up Aquatic Disaster month with a look at Ron Howard’s Thai cave flood drama, THIRTEEN LIVES.

I really wound up enjoying HEDDA, which also confirms that we should continue letting DaCosta make movies and stay the fuck out of her way

‘Heated Rivalry’ Review: Episodes 1 & 2 Trot out a sexy sporting metaphor because the Internet’s favourite gay hockey show has finally arrived.

I reviewed the smutty Canadian gay hockey show (because of course I did!)

It's entertaining, but the decision to retain author Rachel Reid's hyper accelerated timeline does nothing to help the non-sexy bits.

(Thankfully the sex is pretty darn hot 🥵)

Come party with HEDDA and us!

This movie is a fucking delight and so is this audio commentary where @tracedthurman.bsky.social and I are clearly having too much fun!

SPA NIGHT is such a quiet, devastating film.

It feels like a tragedy in slow motion and @conrad-esq.bsky.social and I really enjoyed Seo’s lead performance

Three people - a woman in a red dress, a man in a black t-shirt, and a shirtless bald man - sitting next to a white haired man in jeans and a blue button up shirt.

Shocking no one: MISERY remains as fantastic as ever 35 years later.

And it was delightful to have the iconic @rozhernandez.bsky.social join us to talk Annie Wilkes as Hagsploitation and old people’s sex lives!

Reminder: @brennacgray.bsky.social and I are collecting responses on WHITEOUT until next Friday, so get your holiday YA reading done!

Finally: I don’t think THIRTEEN LIVES would have been in awards contention, but it’s a really solid (harrowing) aquatic disaster flick.

Kudos to the sound team because OOF, the underwater stuff really got me

Blame it on the sickness (?) but KEEPER didn’t work for me at all.

Listen to @tracedthurman.bsky.social and I hash it out on Patreon 👇

Big thanks to @jennyleighx33.bsky.social for reading BREAKING DAWN for the first time to come talk about this enormous POS with @brennacgray.bsky.social and I

Oof - a big no for me

Tonight’s FYC watch

We made her look up the animatronic!

I love torturing a co-host

I’ll give her this: she’s super committed when she signs up, though. Her enthusiasm on the JURASSIC set was undeniable

@jennferatu.bsky.social and I are headed underground in tomorrow’s final Aquatic Disaster flick

WUT?!

We get to see the murders…and the show treats the culprit like a mystery?!

‘IT: Welcome to Derry’ Episode 5 Review Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård) makes his debut on IT: Welcome to Derry in an episode that takes the action into the sewers below “Neibolt Street”.

Pennywise finally returned on this week’s #itwelcometoderry.

Here’s my take on a sewer heavy episode of the HBO series
