Just saw Alpha Gang at Fantastic Fest. First off, this gonzo movie is a perfect fit for this weirdo fest. Crazy cast playing ‘50s greaser aliens in some kind of post-fall apocalyptic landscape. Bautista, Chris Pine, Cate Blanchett. Odd, enthralling, unlike anything out there.

Resident Evil rules. Fun is at the forefront in a true survival horror story carried by a great everyman performance from Austin Abrams. Cool monsters, tons of gore, and all wrapped up in enough humor to keep it from being a bummer.

Apologies to my movie nerd friends, but I have to brag about the single best Magic the Gathering pack I’ve ever opened and needed to share. Got a Strixhaven collector booster on sale and opened a Vampiric Tutor and a Silver Scroll Cyclonic Rift back to back.

One thing I haven’t seen any of these so called HHN influencers discuss is how they brought back the absolutely delicious discontinued ‘80s snack Peanut Butter Boppers at the Stranger Things food booth. Real (old) fatties remember.

The yearly tradition continues. I proposed to my now wife 2 years ago at @horrornightsorl.bsky.social and now back for the new year. Already did 3 early access houses (Hellraiser, Stranger Things, Jack and Oddfellow) and are having blast.

It’s hard to express how much of a cornerstone Tim Curry was for my generation. Beyond his ability to entertain/frighten/provoke a laugh, his energy was infectious. His Mount Rushmore of iconic characters stands shoulder to shoulder with the greatest actors of all time.

Do you remember when Adam Wingard’s Twitter was a daily barrage of vintage erotica and violent pulp covers before he razed all that to the ground when he got the Godzilla gig? Well, that guy is who showed up to direct Onslaught.

Saw Spider-Man Brand New Day tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Felt like a throwback to the kind of effortlessly charming and entertaining movie that defined the golden era of the MCU. Excited to check it out again this weekend.

The Odyssey being a massive phenomenon in the face of alt-Right bigotry AND the Tate Brothers getting arrested in the same weekend? Kinda feels like the tide’s changing, eh?

Does this newly announced Magic art look like one of those collectible plates that your grandmother would buy you for Christmas in the early ‘90s? Yes. Am I excited about being able to finally afford a Sheoldred the Apocalypse for my deathtouch deck? Also yes.

Shout out to the family that brought their 6 & 4 year olds to the promo screening of a very loud, 2.5 hour mythological drama. The kids reacted the way you’d think: Laughing at the wrong places, screaming randomly, singing little songs. Just as Christopher Nolan intended.

Just heard that Sam Neill passed away. Whether playing the devil incarnate or a nerdy fossil hunter he always brought real humanity to his characters. I have a particular fondness for his genre work and will miss his presence onscreen.

Pulled a great chase card from the Marvel Magic the Gathering set while vacationing in Orlando, so forgive the brag but cool card needs to be shown off. Car pull luck!

I’ve been dipping my toe into Magic the Gathering over the last year and half. Some observations: Deck building is incredibly addictive and probably even more fun than actually playing the deck. Commander is such a great social activity. MTG fandom is the absolute worst.

A big thank you to Keaton Patterson for organizing a kickass panel for tonight’s Bleak Week screening of PET SEMATARY. We were joined by @comptonwrites.bsky.social, @bevvincent.bsky.social, @claymcleod.bsky.social and @ericvespe.bsky.social for a fantastic discussion of all things Stephen King.

From its opening moments Disclosure Day reminds you that nobody can instantly put you in the middle of a story like Steven Spielberg. Flick is fun, moves quickly, isn’t afraid to be weird, and has some logic issues I’m still grappling with, but ultimately an easy recommend.

Our quest to get all notable Stephens on The Kingcast just got one step closer to the finish line. Stephen Root rules and he's on the show this week to talk about King, Widow's Bay, Mike Judge, George A. Romero, and 11/22/63. Episode is live now, tiny taste below:

This is the day Wampler and I huffed and puffed around San Francisco to visit Zodiac murder sites. Scott hated this picture, but since he’s not here anymore I’ve decided to post it every year on his deathday. The world’s still a shittier place without you in it, buddy.

How about a little detour this week? Writer Jeremy Slater takes a break from plugging Mortal Kombat II to talk about Joe Hill's epic horror tome KING SORROW. Evil dragons, complex characters, a killer sequence on an airplane, and ample nods to Hill's writer family. What's not to love?

Eric Vespe @ericvespe.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

Surprising absolutely no one, Widow’s Bay is extremely my shit. What if Stephen King’s Castle Rock and Jaws’s Amity Island combined together with a bevy of great character actors populating it? More of this please and thank you.

I’m fairly new to MTG nerdom, but dedicated enough to go to my first Magicon. I’ll be wandering around, seeing some panels, hunting for some singles, and have some commander decks on hand to play some games this weekend. Had to bring out my mono red pride and joy…

"The most important things are the hardest things to say." That's the first line @wilwheaton.net reads in his new audio version of "The Body." They were never more true than when the Stand By Me actor joined Rob Reiner's other performers at the Oscars in tribute to the late filmmaker. More here👇

@wilwheaton.net returns to The Kingcast to talk about his new audiobook narration of The Body, the 40th Anniversary of Stand By Me, his personal King fandom, and the impact the late, great Rob Reiner had on his life. Fair warning: this one gets emotional right out of the gate.

Watched a good Aussie horror flick called Leviticus. It’s a queer take on It Follows that swaps sex for conversion therapy. While the message is a tad heavy-handed, Joe Bird (Talk to Me) and Stacy Clausen do a remarkable job carrying us through the love and horror. #sxsw

Saw the latest flick from Damian McCarthy, the director of the criminally underseen Oddity, at #sxsw last night. It’s called Hokum and takes place in a spooky Irish hotel and once again shows that McCarthy understands suspense and tension better than most genre filmmakers.

Latest #sxsw flick: Pizza Movie starring Gaten Matarazzo, Sean Giambrone, & Lulu Wilson, made by the BriTANicK guys. Imagine the tripping balls sequence from 21 Jump Street but the whole movie. I thought it was hilarious, but I admittedly have the sense of humor of a rowdy 9 year old.
