I tried to get tickets here— literally set an alarm for the date/time— and they all sold out. So sad! But good to know about the TC I’ll tell my dad (he’s the biggest GDT fan).

Why can’t I see Frankenstein in theaters? Just take my money. I’ll see it multiple times. I’ll see it in IMAX. Hell, I’d even see it at a non-Regal theater (I have a Regal pass).

Instead of giving Stranger Things finale a theatrical release, how about just expanding the release of Guillermo del Toro's FRANKENSTEIN? 🥺

7. Us (2019) Would you confront your doppelgänger if it meant being a good librarian?

New episode alert! I talk with Paige Sechrest (PhD) about an unsung hero, Jordan Peele’s Us (2019). We discuss topics of race & class but also, our favorite Twilight Zone episodes, Jordan Peele’s fear of rabbits and more! 🐇 On Apple, Spotify, and here: chloesnotscared.substack.com/p/7-us-2019

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

The Guest is sooooo good, I might have to rewatch honestly ….

Do you think Donna Tartt vapes now?

6. Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971) We'd LOVE to dig through those antiques in the attic.

The latest episode of my podcast features podcaster and Mental Filmness film fest programmer Sharon Gissy as we talk about the cult classic Let’s Scare Jessica to Death (1971). Listen here! chloesnotscared.substack.com/p/6-lets-sca...

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

If you see this, QTP with a gif of a vampire that isn’t Dracula 🦇

(Cheating a little. He’s a dhampir.)

I know I’m 4 years late but I’m really loving all the tea (specifically on The Secret History) that the podcast Once Upon a Time… at Bennington College brings. Makes me wanna read BEE too, and the Lethem essays.

Midnight Mass is my favorite I think! But Hill House is probably his best. Anyways you’re gonna love the next episode of Director’s Club.

Finally watching The Haunting of Hill House (Mike Flanagan) and it might be too soon to say, but I do think it might be the best thing he’s ever done. Yes, this is my first watch. But, again, might be too soon to say… I’ve been burned before (Bly Manor).

Me seeing two cats on the bus this morning: “one bus cat after another…”

I've only been able to share lengthy deep dives lately because giving stories as much context as possible–and now having so much context to provide!–is necessary for recognizing patterns.

I hope if nothing else, this helps folks better critically read and understand nonsense from the regime.

'The Watcher in the Woods' Is Smart Gateway Horror | Certified Forgotten Chloe Waryan explains why Disney's 'The Watcher in the Woods' is one of the all-time great works of gateway horror.

Turned on Watcher in the Woods for something comforting (I’ve seen it a million times) and I want to share that 1) it’s on internet archive rn and 2) I wrote about it for @certifiedforgot.bsky.social a few years ago: certifiedforgotten.com/the-watcher-...
