Horror afternoon at the cinema - Backrooms which I loved (do enjoy this era of the true horror are the brightly lit bland office type spaces like this and Severance) and Obsession which was really intriguing and clever

Woo! Saturday! Time to party! *settles down with a big bowl of cereal to binge watch a twenty year old TV show* Softly whispering ‘I’m so wild*

Wake up Look at news Swear loudly and vociferously Retreat straight back into horror fiction because right now, compared to reality, horror is comforting

So my local library does a ‘blind date with a book’ thing - book wrapped in a paper with a description, you can’t open it until you’ve borrowed it. I got one described as body horror and its oddbody by Rose Keating and tucked inside was this note.

Note reading ‘reading and resources team vs communities stocks and services’

Gave up on the bad disaster series because I suddenly cried out ‘why am I watching this when the entirety of ER is on Netflix?’ and have gone back to it. Funny thing is, watching it now, I really don’t care about Doug Ross at all

Emma Butler @emmabutler.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

I’m watching a not very good disaster serial (no I don’t know why I’m still watching it) and the uncrackable computer code even the star hacker can’t crack is clearly Wingdings

Went to vote, gave my name as Michelle Birkby and the poll clerk said ‘the author?’ Now as my books were published about five years ago and I thought had disappeared entirely this made me very happy and slightly stunned. I’m still the author.

Emma Butler @emmabutler.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

Went to see Hokum, not knowing anything about it. Mix of folk horror and ghost story - Adam Scott as a deeply unpleasant writer caught up in a mystery in an Irish hotel. Genuinely terrifying moments, very scary and really good characters

Emma Butler @emmabutler.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

I’m not sure what studios think they’re doing when they advertise a film in the trailer as different from the what the film actually is. Leads viewers to be disappointed and people who might have watched the film as it is to miss it

Emma Butler @emmabutler.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Roofman trailers made it look like a wacky comedy but it’s far more thoughtful and insightful and quiet than that. Fantastic performance by Channing Tatum who is really turning into one of the best screen actors

010

Emma Butler @emmabutler.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Alright, watching Roofman purely for Channing Tatum, who has surprised me in the last two movies I saw him in, he was very good

I'm once again here to say if you like the kinds of classic radio station horror podcasts I love, you should play Killer Frequency

I’m quite peeved at the way certain horror movies hang around in the cinema for weeks and yet others are one week and gone (and I think the ones that are gone do tend to be the woman-led ones)

Emma Butler @emmabutler.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Watched Dead of Winter, which I somehow managed to miss entirely in the cinema last year. Decent ‘terrible things happen in the wilderness’ movie, unusual that both hero and villain are older women (Emma Thompson and Judy Greer) and the protagonist is very capable

Emma Butler @emmabutler.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

Currently watching a Korean horror series - If Wishes Could Kill, about an app that grants wishes and then counts down to their death. It’s very bloody - ALL the trigger warnings - but very good. I am enjoying this new trend of movie style horrors being created as a series

Emma Butler @emmabutler.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

Catching up on recent @weirdinthewade.bsky.social episode and delighted to find a road ghost episode - I’m fascinated by road ghosts - constantly searching and wandering, only ever a brief interaction. One day I’m going to have a good explore of bluebell hill and the road ghosts there

Emma Butler @emmabutler.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

Watched Akira in the cinema and wow - still just as good as I remember it, still incredibly iconic

010

Emma Butler @emmabutler.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

Revisiting the first ever anime I ever saw - (unless battle of the planets and that Godzilla cartoon series count?) by seeing Akira in the cinema

As far as anyone’s concerned, I did a 5k walk today for grown up health reasons but just between us it was a tour of all the Pokémon Go gyms in the area.:..

Emma Butler @emmabutler.bsky.social · 03/04/2026

Watched Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen which was very enjoyable. Slow start but got good - episode 5 especially creepy. Great ending. But as usual with these marriage as horror stories (like Ready or Not) I have to wonder why she ever fell for him at all

I did not realise the clocks had gone forward and just thought I’d managed to sleep in for once

Inspired by @tartanmog.bsky.social been diving into sci-fi. Saw Project Hail Mary twice - that’s a fantastic move, loved it. Reading Three Body Problem - not an easy read but intriguing. Listening to audio dramatisation of Murderbot diaries - I love it. And now watching Interstellar - very intrigued

Emma Butler @emmabutler.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

I’m reading Andrew Miller The Land in Winter and it’s set in the sixties and there’s a woman in it who loves reading pulp sci-fi and when the doctor says she might prefer Virgina Woolf she has such scorn for him. I love her. I love Virginia Woolf but also yay for a woman who loves pulp sci-fi!

Emma Butler @emmabutler.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

No spoilers so I can’t say what the line is but there is a line on page 287 of Itch that I absolutely love and adore

000

Emma Butler @emmabutler.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

I am reading Itch by Gemma Amor, a feminist folk horror and I am loving it. Very intriguing and - well - it makes my skin crawl.

It’s so perfect having Lucy Briers play Mrs Hill in The Other Bennet Sister, supporting and encouraging this new Mary

Happy National Voiceover Day to all of our talented voice actors in Blue Noon, some you know and some... that are a mystery. For a few more weeks, anyway. 🤠

Project Hail Mary on the other hand - absolutely fantastic. Loved that. Lived up to the book

I want everyone at Range Rover to know that everyone in that cinema having to sit through that advert before the movie thinks the bloke in it is a prick

Went to see How to Make A Killing. Would advise that everyone watch Kind Hearts and Coronets instead.

Reading a ghost story that is ‘I heard a cat purring on my bed but we didn’t have a cat and no way for one to get in’. Neither of those is a barrier to finding a cat on your bed. (The black cat continues to visit me at night and now an orange cat comes in sometimes too)

Friday the 13th. Once again a great day to go see what that noise in the basement is. Have that care free sex. Assume the person in the mask is a friend messing around. Hell it’s only twenty years tonight since the strange murders it’d be fun to check out the abandoned house. You’re only young once.

Hmmm - why is the The Other Bennett Sister being advertised with the music Pink Pony Club? A hint?

Oh dear. So - that’s the end then? That’s unbearably sad #callthemidwife

This really feels like the very last episode ever #callthemidwife

Yes! Set up a detective agency! I would actually personally love that #Callthemidwife

The Bride is just extraordinary, blending horror and movies and Bonnie and Clyde and all kinds of issues and emotions into a strange and compelling move. Jessie Buckley exceptional (again), Annette Benning and Penelope Cruz fantastic, absolutely loved it

The black cat that comes into my flat sometimes has now taken to sleeping the night under my bed, which is strangely comforting. It has collar bell so I can hear it moving. Last night in my usual 3am insomnia bout it insisted I play with it. I think I’ve been adopted
