I've never realized how similar #Hereditary and #TheShining are. Tony is the person who lives inside Danny, which is similar to the demon in the cult. Jack's alcoholism and Annie's sleepwalking keep their family's on edge. The supernatural vs psychological debate.

Just finished draft 2 of my horror novel. It's been six months since I began any work on draft 1, and it's come along better than I imagined. I'll write one more draft, then I'll start looking for an editor.

It's a dark night in late October. I have Cradle of Filth blasting out of my laptop as I finish editing the final ten pages of my horror novel (draft 2). Vibes are immaculate

FF7 was one of the first games I got into in the PS1 era. I've only really played that and 8. Assuming XVI is worth jumping into?

For real, lol. I'm over it at this point and find it funny now. It still seems pretty unprofessional, but what can you do?

Had an indie horror publisher call me "batshit insane" over a novel I submitted. They're active here, on Insta, and other platforms. They claimed someone hacked their email, then ghosted me.

Should I take this as a compliment?

Started a new notebook of short horror stories to jot down between editing my novel. No time table. No plans for them yet. But they exist. Putting on my Silver Shamrock mask and praying to the dark gods of Samhain for inspiration

Probably. Especially since it was the first film to ever scare me as a kid haha

Rewatching some of the Elm Street films and figured I'd go ahead and drop my rankings. Get at me, Fred heads!

ANOES (original)
A New Nightmare
Freddy Vs Jason
Dream Warriors
Freddy's Revenge
The Dream Master
Remake
The Dream Child
Freddy's Dead

Lol, this is good stuff. My hot take on the franchise is that I might like Halloween 2 (1981) more than the original. I also think Halloween Ends is the worst

Day 22 - The Fog Won't Lift & Hell on Horseshoe Bend

Any fans of scary podcasts? I'm pleased to announce that my new short story, Hell On Horseshoe Bend, is available for free on Spotify as an episode of @creepypod.bsky.social . Link below. Happy Halloween!

Agree! As a huge ANOES fan, I liked this WAY more than the original Black Phone film

Not gonna lie, #TheBlackPhone2 kinda kicks ass. A knockoff Freddy is better than no Freddy at all. Plus, the snowy isolated setting is incredible. Is it flawless? No way. But I had a blast with it

The creepy detective subgenre needs more attention. Would love to see more original work come out of it

I'm excited to hear how the art venture goes! My city has an annual arts fest, so thats what made me think of the local route, but outside of that, I totally understand. Best of luck!

If I had the option (which some publishers may not grant), I'd want to take a shot at creating my own. I lean more abstract, so maybe a collage of images scanned to a computer, and digitally edited. It would also be cool to commission work from a local painter at an arts fest in your city.

Revisiting the #Halloween franchise and am definitely forming some opinions:

- Halloween 2 (og) is the best of the sequels.
- I still have no idea what is happening plot-wise in Curse
- Resurrection > any of the DGG films
- Loomis is always hilariously incompetent

Finished reading Immobility by Brian Evenson, and (wow!) the ending was brutal and well done. Loved the post-apocalyptic setting as well. It reminded me of the video game, Metro, at certain points.

I'll second Mouth of Madness, but From Beyond was pretty wild. That one hit like a fever dream haha

Started my October horror movie binge with Drag Me To Hell. I forgot how much I liked the cell phone jump scare! Looking forward to finally watching Bring Her Back later this weekend.

Re-discovered New Order over the weekend and I've been dancing around my house ever since. Also found out I'm a big fan of playing the air drums

Congrats! Getting published anywhere is always a big deal. Party up!

Finally caught up with Alien:Earth, and man, what happened to this show? It really fell off a cliff after episode six. One of the weakest finale's I can remember.

#horrorsky #horror #alien:earth

Awesome! Finishing a first draft is so rewarding

Just finished reading, Fugue State, by Brian Evenson. It's the weirdest of the Evenson #shortstory collections I've read, and contains some of his best (and not as good) works.

Favorite stories:
The Third Factor
A Pursuit
An Accounting
Alfons Kuyler
Fugue State

I like the series overall, but didn't love the direction that episode 7 ended in. I'll still watch the finale, for sure. Also, is it bad that I'm more invested in the eyeball alien than the Xenomorph? Hahaha

I was into this show at first, but it feels like it's slipping. The first five episodes were pretty fun, six was okay, but I wasn't a fan of where they took things by the end of seven. Oh well, I've come this far haha. Olyphant is great and the finale is next.

Awesome! I'm trying to put my finger on what this reminds me of. In terms of style, I could easily see this as the cover of a book or CD I own. I dig it

Nearly halfway through the second draft of my horror novel. Still love it! Really excited to share this one when the time comes
