I can’t believe we’re 22 days into October and it only occurred to me to check the Jezebel spooky stories post JUST NOW

My Guy, rooted in Evan Dossey's (edossmfj.bsky.social) appreciation of Guy Pearce, continues w/ a special appearance by Aly Caviness (alyravenous.bsky.social), who has Guy Pearce to blame for her marriage &, in this essay, her defense of PROMETHEUS & ALIEN: COVENANT.

Find Aly's essay in the reply.

My Guy #50: Prometheus / Alien: Covenant My Guy — a series rooted in Evan Dossey’s appreciation for and analysis of the works of Guy Pearce — continues with a special guest column from Aly Caviness, who has Guy Pearce to blame for her…

Anyway, I seem to have found my writing brain again and wrote a guest essay for @edossmfj.bsky.social’s MY GUY column about my favorite ALIEN movies (yeah you heard me) and a small role that makes a big impression! midwestfilmjournal.com/2025/10/21/m...

Frankenstein (2025) In the introduction to The New Annotated Frankenstein (2017), Guillermo del Toro writes, “All my life, I was in love with monsters; this is a fact.” It is no wonder, then, that Frankenstein (2025) is…

I swear I’m a smart person but a week after seeing @realgdt.bsky.social’s FRANKENSTEIN my brain has been on a constant loop of ALL ABOARDY FOR JACOB ELORDI!

As my 6-year-old says, I may have the brain rot. midwestfilmjournal.com/2025/10/17/f...

Meme - if you flip every word in "manic pixie dream girl" you get "depressive demon nightmare boy" and you think "well thank goodness THAT'S not a thing at least-" Then it’s an image of the Phantom of the Opera, and Kylo Ren

basically 🙂‍↕️

@alyravenous.bsky.social writes about @realgdt.bsky.social's Frankenstein and the fascinating way he re-interprets Shelley's original text to create his own personal spin on the iconic story about a madman trying to play mother. midwestfilmjournal.com/2025/10/17/f...

I went loooong on @realgdt.bsky.social’s FRANKENSTEIN, a movie I feel like I’ve been waiting for my whole life. Loved it, can’t stop thinking about it, want to see it again ASAP

my own tweet explaining "so in this Spanish horror comic, Frankenstein's monster knocks out a woman, and I was REALLY worried, but he just wanted to try on her clothes" with screenshot of a guy named Ziv quote-tweeting me to say "This is horrendously disturbing. I am disturbed. Honestly, Priscilla, you need to back up and look at your life and think to yourself, 'Self, is this really the person I want to be?' Posting frankensteinian erotica and shit?'" with my reply "this is exactly the person I want to be" and the followup "actually it's Frankenstein's MONSTER'S Erotica"

guy got mad at me for sharing this comic on twitter back in 2017, but it's still one of my favorite exchanges. (he was not kidding, btw.)

If you see me reading Frankenstein before a movie screening: yes u did, do not talk to me, I'm on another plane of existence

Getting ready to be the most annoying person u know by re-reading + annotating + pasting pictures of Oscar Isaac (using acid free archival tape ofc, I am not a HEATHEN) into my copy of the Annotated Frankenstein

I don’t dip my toes over here very often bc just like twitter the News is Constant and Bad, except sometimes I just need to dump a thought about stuff I like. I miss the old internet!!

Just thinking about how Boy Kavalier is one of the best character names I’ve ever heard. I’m really taken with Alien: Earth (and Timothy Olyphant’s platinum locks, obvs)

Whitby Town have unveiled a Dracula inspired away kit for the 2025/26 season.

FANTASIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS is just.... fine. My 6yo liked it a lot but I was never very thrilled or invested in anything happening, even with the baby as the driving force of the plot. THUNDERBOLTS* was Marvel's slamdunk this year yet nobody saw it, womp womp

A movie about kindness for kindness’s sake and doing your best to take care of the people you love.

Yeah, we always need PADDINGTON 2.

Catch it at 10a Tuesday at the Historic Artcraft Theatre.

Like many luxury items, musk came to Europe from the Far East. Derived from the Sanskrit word for testicle, "musk" refers to the glandular products of small male Asian deer. These little sacs of animal juice were harvested from the bodies of slain deer and left to dry in the sun.In its raw form, musk smells like urine, pungent and sharp. But atter being left to dry, musk develops a softer scent. The reek of ammonia… (from The Ugly History of Beautiful Things by Katy Kelleher)

MEMORIES OF MURDER and BLACK SWAN tickets acquired for my birthday week, gonna ring in 35 like the demented weirdo I’ve always been 💃

For those of you who read the trigger warnings and said, "Accidental cannibalism?! Count me in!" This one's for you.

Never been so called out in my life

I saw Kesha on Friday night and SUPERMAN on Saturday morning and they both made me feel the family of emotions: joy, hope, empowerment, full-on bisexual panic

The part of Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil that’s like Bridgerton + Interview with the Vampire

Ok it’s not like Squid Game ever had rose-colored glasses on but at some point this shit is just too mean

Everything is fucked, but yesterday 6yo came home from summer camp singing “We Will Rock You,” and then “Golden Years” came on in the car, and I’m taking that as a sign that it’s time to bring back Hot Knight Summer

Tweet from @tomgara Randomly on this subject, my (Egyptian) wife had never heard of Stonehenge when I mentioned it recently, so I showed her photos of it, assuming she’d recognise the look but not the name etc, and she was just like, this is pathetic, your ancestors were small and weak

Remembering this great tweet on the Summer Solstice

It’s bleak out there, but it’s heartening to know millions of people from all walks of life took the time to ruin one specific persons birthday, America’s hater spirit remains strong

I don’t know where this essay came from. It sprang out of my head like Athena, fully formed.

I finished it
