#Iamjanedoe is trending and for good (awful) reason. I may watch 'The Autopsy of Jane Doe' tonight. Sometimes horror films feel closer to vindication and retribution than anything that happens in real life. If you keep treating us like witches, we might start acting like witches.

An essay is woefully insufficient consequence for the alleged actions and it is an insult to ALL survivors of violence. You have the power to do better and to be a powerful man on the right side of history, for once. Yours sincerely, Dr Amy Beddows 5/5

Please show older men and women that the world has changed, that sexual assault is not a joke or a throwaway misdemenour, but an act of violence which ruins lives. I doubt you will read this far but please, do something. 4/?

and someone who is literally writing a book on victim blame, please do better. Please show young women and young men across the world that women and girls matter more than as merely sexual objects to male privilege, or offers of 'free pussy' in group chats. 3/?

This is - and has always been - unacceptable and it is too disgusting to put into words that a prestigious institution such as yours would turn a blind eye to a horrendous act of violence against a young woman. As a trauma therapist working at a UK university, a sexual assault victim advocate...2/?

TW: sexual assault, angry email Dear President Kotlikoff, I am adding my voice to the chorus of emails you have undoubtedly received in the wake of reports of the heinous gang rape that took part on your property, committed by seven of your students against a vulnerable member of your community. 1/?

I wish I saw more people talking about Radical Face - his music is hauntingly beautiful and *perfect* for autumn. If there is one reason to thank Criminal Minds, it's for introducing a generation of emo crime-creeps to the sublime 'The Gilded Hand'. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqMe...

Watching 'Loner' on FoundTV (it's also on Amazon Prime) - it is quite charming and surprisingly sad. "That fucking cabin... although technically I don't think it is a cabin, I think it is a fucking glamping pod." I'm excited to see what Charlie Robb and Douglas Tawn do next.

Darcy loves Scotland. All dogs should go to Scotland.

Awesome Pictish stone with a man being eaten by a beast.

Stunning view of trees over water at The Hermitage.

OMG Mr Scarecrow?! That has unlocked a deep fear memory.

Thank you @ghostwoken.art - it is 6pm GMT (so BST-1 hour), clocks go back on the UK a few days before the workshop. When I send out the reminder, I will confirm timeszones for US-based folks!

Elijah Wood is always good value - I enjoyed him in Yellowjackets as well!

I LOVE this episode, the kids clearly having a blast filming this!

Amy Beddows @amybeddows.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I really liked this one! Will have to watch it again....

Did you miss my Horror Film Therapy fringe show? Fear not! On Friday 30 October at 6pm, I'll be running an online workshop on therapeutic film watching. It will be a welcoming space for anyone who likes horror and wants to explore its emotional benefits. #Horror #therapy #horrortherapy

Two people looking for meaning in literal hell (from As Above, So Below).

I imagine this is a worry for people at the moment. To be clear, my classes are explicitly and actively trans inclusive. People can feel excluded from Higher Education for a whole host of reasons from disability, to neurodivergence, to race, to queerness, to class. If you have any worries, DM me.

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

One of the greatest line reads of all time. Tim Curry for Command And Conquer, clearly it was a one and done and he could barely stop laughing at the ridiculousness of the line. Perfection

This one hurts. Rest in fierceness, sweet prince xxx

Tim Curry as the gorgeous Frank n Furter.

I don't scare easily but I've just started 'Them' (season 2) and it is the most frightening thing I've seen in a long time. Luke James is INCREDIBLE as Edmund.

That's true, and there were hardly any staff trying to direct folks - must be an absolute nightmare for them.

We got out about 11:45pm. Honestly, I knew it would be bad but that was a new level of clusterfuckery.

My favourite genre? Horror shows where the theme tune slaps EVEN more than the show itself.

Amy Beddows @amybeddows.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

I really liked this one! I thought it had more to say about its themes than 'The Substance'.

Amy Beddows @amybeddows.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Sick as a dog (and missing some awesome fringe shows 😭) so watching 'Hereditary' in my jammies with the blinds pulled right down even though it is glorious sunshine. Why are we like this? (and by 'this' I mean badass at self-care).
