Rewatching the IT miniseries was a mistake because here's a live look at @harmonycolangelo.bsky.social flirting with me for the last 10 minutes.

The biggest jumpscare in the IT miniseries is when Richard Thomas turns his head and reveals his ponytail.

LVCRFT has a new Halloween album coming, and I don't want to spoil the names of everyone who joined them as guest voices, but let's just say I ticked like four bucket-list interview names off with this article alone. 😈 Only at @fangoria.bsky.social! www.fangoria.com/lvcrft-skele...

Anyway @hbomax.bsky.social sent me a cake of my own head in the #Backrooms and it’s so accurate I’m not going to sleep for a week. Haven’t seen the movie yet? Go watch it on streaming and come back so you can share this nightmare with me.

I have a very close friend in Gaza, a mother of three children, who has lost everything and is in need of donations to take care of her family. Like the many thousands of displaced Gazans.

Please give if you can. No amount of donation is too small. And help others 🙏 ❤️ chuffed.org/project/1981...

My deepest hope for the increasing likelihood that, like, 4 guys are going to own the entire entertainment industry is that we're going to get an avalanche of incredible indie work in every medium that finally buries the safe, four quadrant approach everyone has been following for too long.

Body swap movies are a key subgenre of teen movies and it's a real shame to realize the best body swap movie ever made is one that still hasn't fully broken through to Western audiences. YOUR NAME. is so damn good. Loved making this episode.

I'm sorry to continue talking about today's Horror Nonsense, but it is so upsetting that a fellow queer person saw this photo and diminished its importance as if it were a performative gesture, and not the beautiful proof that @fangoria.bsky.social's foundation and legacy is one of queerness.

The fun of journalism as a whole right now — not just games — is that everybody is starved for work so execs can get away with underpaying freelancers. That's how content mills like Valnet stay in business. Then those freelancers will be laid off and others will take their place at lower pay

I started writing about horror when I was 18. I'm 36. I've been harassed, doxed, and had targeted hate campaigns lobbied against me. Thinking that I've gotten to where I am now because I somehow charmed "straight white gatekeepers" ignores my skill, resilience, & years of being treated like shit.

The whole trans girls in sports discussion is absolutely being used to propagandize people into being transphobic bellends. In K-12, the number of trans girls in sports is five. In college the number is fewer than ten, according to the NCAA President. You're being manipulated. Please stop.
