Very sad to report the loss of Daveigh Chase, who creeped out millions as Samara in The Ring, voiced the lead in Lilo & Stitch, and played Donnie Darko’s ornery little sister. 35. Just awful. Thanks for all your great work, Daveigh.

Few books have pulled me into a protagonist’s entire world like @ericlarocca.com’s Wretch. This is is a down-and-dirty, hallucinatory, no-guardrails sprint along a narrow and bumpy ledge. It bends the grieving psyche into a new shape, and so rethinks the mechanics of haunting.

Fresh drabble on @horrortree.com So I’m celebrating the arrival of Spring by giving Winter one last laugh. But don’t worry, it’s not at your expense. Fun fact: the title is a slightly altered Zombies song lyric. horrortree.com/trembling-wi...

A mysterious old man. A sudden and inexplicable act. And from there, a small town becomes the epicenter of violence and bloodshed driven by poisonous bigotry and hate. @ericlarocca.bsky.social weaves themes of loss and trauma against the search for an ever-absent god. @clashbooks.bsky.social

OPUS is a thinker film on the subject of post-Jonestown cults. Ayo Edebiri is unafraid and compelling, and Malkovich is superb in his creepy charisma and treachery. (Think: the fantasies of Elon Musk as articulated by Right Said Fred.)

The year is approaching its 66.6% mark, and I’ll say that WEAPONS is the most engaging new flick I’ve seen. Director Zach Cregger ups the ante on themes from BARBARIAN (2022) with a narrative whose lines cross (literally?) from slow-burn batshit to full-on paroxysmal batshit. Tons of fun!

Look, I’ve got nothing against smiling. You do it when you absolutely must. But when a strange dog in a strange town flashes one at you… My drabble, “The Smile Factor”, is in the TWF mix here on horrortree.com. #dystopia #beasts

When you want Ripley in power but to put Ripley in power you have to deploy Carrie.

F.M. Scott's review of The Drowning Machine and Other Obsessions
5/5: This book reads like a user’s manual for extracting beautiful blooms from poisoned landscapes. Murray grabs lust, grief, and rage by their throats, yanks them into new forms, and makes them dance...

As a person who had religion stuffed into his young head—eventually rejecting it at age 13—I’ll say that HERETIC was a refreshing deconstruction. Grant’s performance=metal. The film’s greatest stunt, though, was that it was fair to believers too. I mean, somebody had to take the booby prize home.

Listen, I want to make something good and goddamn clear regarding trump and his cult: If you’re a “no eye for an eye” person, a “turn the other cheek” person, or other comparable idiot, GET OFF MY FEED, NOW! You are not my friend. Did people go soft on the nazis? It’s no different in principle.

Good, splatty fun, with a skein of imaginative kills—like the entire Final Destination franchise went full demonic overdrive. And all with that boutique King verve.

I don’t know if this country has the smarts or the guts to be any better, but I’ll say one goddamn thing: I’m gonna have my kicks and fly my freak flag high. So should you. Work, play, love, read, see movies…and be there for yours. Stand up. To hell with the bullies. DISOBEY. xoxo, FMS
