I am so buried in research, but desperately wanna get to these two.

If I could be handed a horror franchise to fold into a new idea of existential awe it wouldn't be FRIDAY THE 13TH (too specific) or ELM STREET (even more specific) but HALLOWEEN, as the nondescript Shape is tailor-made to reflect the masklike iterations of suburban nothingness. Gimme the keys.

Brolin / Kraus / Abrams (Not pictured: Duffield, Beaky, Whale) Go see WHALEFALL on Oct 16. A truly rare thing: an intensely unusual & risky & original big-budget production.

What is *the best* currently available box set of Leone's DOLLAR TRILOGY? Or should I search out used copies of the Arrow edition (pictured here)?

I got off Bluesky for a bit but I'm finding not being able to crowdsource opinions a challenge. So I'm back. For now. Plus I missed you! While I was gone, I threw at first pitch at Wrigley Field. How about that.

Heartbroken. Suz Romero passed away yesterday. She was like a second mom to me. There would be no Partially Devoured, The Living Dead, or Pay the Piper without her. But far more importantly, she took me into her family and her heart without any reason to do so. I will miss her forever. ❤️

WESTERN FANS: What are greatest lesser-known westerns you’ve ever read? Let’s avoid the obvious ones. Weird westerns are OK, but I’m mostly hoping for non-speculative westerns. 🤠

This is sorta my face. It is not my hand, not my body. This AI image greeted me at a recent event and I was creeped out. Yes, I’ve communicated this to the organization. Extremely creepy. DO NOT DO THIS.

Happy birthday to my hero, Duane Jones (1937-1988). Among his lost works that I learned about while writing PARTIALLY DEVOURED: an indie movie in which he played Malcolm X(!) and two seasons of a popular soap opera. A genius in many fields. 💚
