Nicely done.

With YouTube taking home 12.5%, followed by Netflix at 7.5%, those two almost tie with broadcast. Add Disney+, and they surpass cable's viewing numbers.

Streaming surpasses broadcast, cable for first time in monthly US TV usage Streaming accounted for 44.8% of all TV viewing in the U.S. | Coinciding with Nielsen's latest monthly Gauge tracker, Tubi disclosed surpassing 100 million monthly active users.

Many of us have found that we prefer streaming to broadcast and cable… and I can say "many" because, for the first time, watching #streaming TV has passed broadcast and cable.

Great cover by Teagan White. Almost looks like it would glow in the dark. I’m sure it is striking under black light.

Great book.

While a huge fan of the original, this one does have some great moments.

This is one of the greatest ghost stories ever told on screen—and the book it is based on is pretty terrific too. The scene with the two huddled with the knocking and everything being told with shadow and light with some great sound editing thrown in… a masterpiece of cinema.

Of course, we have mechanical failure of the shark to thank for that. Who knows what would have happened if Bruce had work from day one.

Besides the spoilers for Deep Blue Sea, you are right that CGI shark attack has been overused and poorly executed. But one of the things that worked for making Jaws a success was the minimal appearance of the shark for most of the movie.

Amazing!

Gary Jules version of Mad World for Donnie Darko would be a good edition.

So looking forward to this!

So sad to hear that Chef Anne Burrell, the co-host of “Worst Cooks in America,” passed away today… at 55!
Loved watching that, and, actually, all her Food Channel appearances with my girls. My heart goes out to her friends and family. She will be missed.

Loved Blood Drive

BEAUTY NIGHT - a horror film about puberty. 12 year old Mia just got her period. After a spa night with her Mom she's initiated into a terrifying new role in the family.

We all know what a nightmare puberty can be. With that as inspiration, writer/director Dalila Droege has turned a young woman’s coming-of-age story into a #horror film in BEAUTY NIGHT.

I recently attended the world premiere of Blood on the Bleachers with the director, Chase Dudley, and quite a few members of his cast. In a genuinely touching moment, on his big night, Chase took time to recognize indie producer Michael Mahal, who recently passed away. cosplayian.com/post/7856505...

The script.

Actress Shawnee Smith signs an original copy of the script for The Blob.

Actor Kevin Dillon signs an original copy of the script for The Blob.

When I was a teen, Frank Darabont and Chuck Russell sent me a signed #TheBlob script after I had sent a loving review of their remake to Fangoria. I have treasured this for years, and this weekend at @texasfrightmare.bsky.social, I was able to add Shawnee Smith and Kevin Dillon's signatures to it.

The cast of #DamseloftheDoomed after a successful screening of their film at the 2025 @texasfrightmare.bsky.social.

Like the title “Live. Die. Repeat.,” but it is a fun ride and the rest of the cast is acting the hell out of it.

There are some things worth paying for and a good producer on your side can help lighten the load making it easier to finish film without loosing your sanity.

Just heard of the passing of Michael Mahal. His passion was infectious and he truly helped many in the indie film scene. My thoughts are with family and friends. He will be missed.
