Currently watching Let Sleeping Corpses Lie with Mum. She’s chuckling already which is a surefire sign it’s a winner!

That was essentially the shopping list!

First trip to the shops whilst home = success ✅

This looks sodding AMAZING!!! Wish I was still in the UK on Halloween so I could attend. Have the absolute best time you guys! Excited to hear about whichever movie gets picked 😍

This guy skipping down the lane while singing twee rhymes in pursuit of a victim is one of the most chilling moments in cinema

Thanks mate!! I feel like I can say it’s good to be home when things are equally as dubious here as they are in the US— like it levels itself out or something 😆

Back in England, at St Pancras awaiting my train to the Midlands, and have already texted my family group chat several very British observations — and none included the weather (it’s raining, naturally)

It’s good to be home!!!

Heading on a much-needed trip back home to see family. Got my movies downloaded, and by the… books of things (ahem) it’s gonna be a @talkscaredpod.bsky.social flight too.

Really excited to check out Neil’s debut! His podcast makes me love horror even more 👻 Give it a listen!

You hear Struzan’s name and immediately you can picture his work. What a legendary artist who made multiple generations excited to see films. What an incredible legacy.

Yeah, British flapjacks are not remotely like American ones. They’re not quite like granola bars, they’re not as crunchy but they’re DENSE. I love me a raspberry jam and coconut one!

The world is going to hell so we are rewatching one of my favourite films tonight.

Drop Dead Gorgeous just landed back on streaming (paramount plus) so I get to relive the entire masterpiece along with this— possibly the funniest moment in the movie?

You’ve heard of comfort watches, now I’ve got a comfort pod! Only 20 minutes into the first episode and already delighted— Becky and Kev are terrific hosts whose enthusiasm and love for the topic shines thru! Give it a whirl, horror fans!

This is gonna help me get thru autumn and winter 🔨🍁🍂❄️☃️

Gosh and what a beautifully written book, too. Great adaptation that I suspect is gonna age well, and become a spooky season sleepover classic.

You gotta!! Thanks for doing this, Matt— it’s proper cool xx

Omg this is a fabulous idea! Please share photos when it’s up and running 💕🎃 I’m also thinking… I wonder if your local Friends of the Library has movies they’d either donate or do you a great deal on? Just an idea!

This forever endeared me to Dakota Johnson.

That’s the best compliment, I feel that way when I listen to pods too! 💕

Another excellent episode with a delightful guest in @gemseddon.bsky.social Loved the clever intro, giggled evilly like an idiot listening to it. This book and movie was a big part of my early teens. Go give it a listen!!

Ahhh thank you so much, Elizabeth! Had such fun recording this with Johnny ☺️

Sent this to my family chat this AM as I woke in the night, panicked and feeling so lost and untethered from the things that make me feel creativity, joy and humanity.

Omg Matt! This sounds hideous and also classic “night before a trip” behaviour from the universe! Hope the rest of FF goes smoothly, mate, looking forward to your coverage! 🎉

Thank you for the words! 🥰

When I got the ARC for this I squealed— a new Sarah Gailey novel is an *event* — I’ve just started and cannot wait to see where this goes… (somewhere dark and brilliant, I suspect). Recommend ordering or placing on hold now!

Once again putting out into the universe that I am a freelance film journalist, with a focus on horror and almost a decade of experience, looking for paid freelance work. Interviews, reviews, essays for physical releases - would love to write something for you! 🎥 #filmsky

And they also have THE BEST recommendations! One of our regulars is so helpful and happy to suggest books that other kids her age might enjoy. Our job— very cool 🎉

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life:

1. The first sip of coffee in the morning
2. Reading a great book in the summer sunshine
3. My gf’s laugh when something REALLY tickles her
4. When the lights go down at the cinema
5. Being surprised by a person’s kindness

We were guessing that’s what she said, it got bleeped on our feed. HECK YES. Love Hannah 💕 #Emmys

It’s got to be. But I have zero interest in listening to a podcast written and — presumably — hosted by AI. They’re forgetting the inherent appeal of pods to those who subscribe; I love my regular rotation because of the PEOPLE not necessarily the topic. Cannot imagine how AI can replicate this.

Absolutely loved chatting it up with the lovely @johnnyrestall.bsky.social about all-things Misery.

Such a delight to be able to talk about Stephen King on my 4th podcast appearance! 😊

Listen now and subscribe to The Thriller Cabinet!! It’s dead good!
