#horror #horrorsky #jhorror #film TIL they've started titling RING sequels like they're part of a 2D fighting franchise.

#filmsky #horrorsky Doesn't seem like there's much love for the franchise overall, but there's something I like in every Paranormal Activity film. Night 1 was 20 years ago today...

It's Friday & this is the vibe as I try and wrap up work on something new. Once again, you're looking at an ultra-processed shot of bees, with a synthscape built using Moog's Model 15 app. #glitchart #video #videosynth #videosynthesis #videoart

#glitch #glitchart #video #videoart Friday vibes. Another heavily processed nature clip, this one some footage I shot at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. What had been jellyfish are now failed renders of a cityscape. I created the soundscape with the Moog Model 15 app.

#reading #booksky #retro Just finished reading what might be the only book on the history of play-by-mail games. As someone who loves a good niche, it was one I hadn't heard of and saw potential within it for a story concept.

#writing #process #booksky On the right is the week I spent trying & failing to break a new idea. On the left is that same idea, fully fleshed out, 2 weeks later. Don't be like me, walking into the same wall over & over. Go away, come back, & you might find a doorway you didn't see before.

#horror #horrorsky #movies #writing Put JACOB’S LADDER on this AM as it really speaks to a proposal I’m finishing up. Era, themes, & more than anything its focus on the human experience in the middle of something that feels impossibly big & strange & horrifying kind of makes it one of one.

#videoart #videobending #circuitbending #glitchart Test footage from the glitch cam I built. It can produce eight unique FX that can be used independently or in tandem, and altered further by the camera's original image adjustment features.

#videoart #videobending #circuitbending #glitchart I Frankenstein'd an old CCTV camera into a dedicated glitch cam, as part of a project to produce visuals for a short story I've been working on. Learned a lot, fried a few cameras along the way. Test footage in my next post...

#booksky #horror #horrorsky I can finally reveal my next book, BLACK MAIL! Like POLYBIUS, it's period-set & inspired by an IRL mystery (the Circleville Letters), but takes a slow-burn path into the supernatural as characters grapple with their darkest secrets being exposed. More soon!

Collin Armstrong @collinarmstrong.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

#booksky #horrorsky #horror Paperbacks are here- and in stores - and online! And not to undercut the message, but the ebook is still on sale for the rest of this month, too!

#booksky #horrorsky #videogames If you're looking for a new read & love urban legend-themed horror, pick up an ebook of POYLBIUS for $1.99 from shops including @bookshop.org @barnesandnoble.com & more. This is the lowest price the book has hit - if you've been on the fence, now's your chance!

People say, "Don't read reviews of your work." Generally I don't, but this bot should not be ignored. If you have that place on your house, too, maybe you ought to pick up a copy of POLYBIUS.

Collin Armstrong @collinarmstrong.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

The kids wanted to make a movie over holiday break, & there's only one kind of movie we make in this house hold. In this scene my youngest is *a little* upset that there isn't a dog for him to pet.

Collin Armstrong @collinarmstrong.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

POLYBIUS is one of thousands of awesome books on sale during the @barnesandnoble.com Book Haul event - the hardcover is currently half off! If you're sitting on some holiday gift cards or cash and you're looking for some retro-horror thrills, stop reading this and go now!!!

Some recent non-writing, non-video stuff. Shadowboxes from scrap wood + broken toys. Frame and stretcher for an old painting from a family member + two completely unscientific, untested acoustic panels also from scrap.

Collin Armstrong @collinarmstrong.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

#booksky #shortfiction #horrorsky My regular spooky reads for the holidays. James's writing is both comforting & deeply unsettling, a blend I love. People on holidays stumbling into supernaturally-tinged, historical mysteries they shouldn't chase after but do anyway? Yes, please.

Collin Armstrong @collinarmstrong.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

The family escaped to Joshua Tree for a few of days before the holidays hit. Not bringing along a better still camera will haunt me - until next time. I've been off socials for a bit but not without good reason, a *pair* of new projects are on their way for 2027!!! I'll share more on both soon...
