We were going to do another big marketing stunt for THE TOXIC AVENGER UNRATED. Instead, Toxie, whose life was upended by crushing medical bills, has joined forces with Undue Medical Debt to erase at least $5 million in un-payable medical debt for those who need it most. Learn more:

🎵 On the first day of Christmas, Art the Clown gave to me, some TriNitroToluene. 🧨💥 🎵 #lego #terrifier3 #christmas #merrychristmas #arttheclown
A picture of a Lego scene I made of the mall scene from Terrifier 3 where Art the Clown is dressed up as Santa and sitting in the Santa chair waiting for kids to come up and meet him. There’s a little boy opening a box labeled T N T to the right of Santa Art while a bunch of kids and parents wait to meet Santa.

The dirty little open secret to writing is that no one will ever know, nor care, how many drafts of a thing were written - people will only ever care about the crafted thing, and will, despite all knowledge to the contrary, assume it came out fully formed that way. No one thinks about shit drafts.

If you're looking for something fun to watch this week, BLACK FRIDAY (2021) is streaming on Prime Video. A very enjoyable little 1980s-style throwback. Cool practical creature effects, a fun cast of lovable sad sacks (Bruce Campbell! Devon Sawa!), and a final act that gets admirably wild. I'm a fan!

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

One of the things I've come to dislike most about social media is the hyperbole. Everyone's so desperate for engagement that they're dialing their responses to anything & everything up to an extreme. It's particularly bad over on Twitter. Would love to see this place foster a different environment.

You can tell that Parker Finn pushed his abilities to the absolute extreme with SMILE 2, leveling up his career & his franchise in the process. A total mental breakdown of a horror movie and an absolute assault on the senses. The clever scares work like a charm & Naomi Scott is an exceptional lead.

That scene in Planes, Trains & Automobiles where they're getting drunk on mini liquor bottles and laughing uncontrollably and Steve Martin says "why do I feel like I'm at summer camp?" You have to find someone in your life who makes you feel that way. Every day. It's the best thing ever.

The mid '90s answer to the Freddy's Nightmares TV show was the six book series Freddy Krueger's Tales of Terror, featuring anthology stories presented by Freddy. Anyone remember these?!

Pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed THE FRONT ROOM. The slight story is mostly a vehicle for Kathryn Hunter to go wild, and she devours the opportunity. A wickedly unhinged performance in a movie that does what it needs to do, refuses to overextend itself, and wraps up on a satisfying note.

The first two episodes of The Creep Tapes have confirmed to me that it was a good idea to turn Creep into a TV series. Mark Duplass remains as oddly compelling as ever and the what-will-he-do-next allure of the character should be more than enough to make this an endlessly entertaining series.

There are currently only 22 films streaming on Netflix made before 1980 and not a single one made before 1960, with the oldest film on the platform currently being PSYCHO. I know I’m a broken record but: buy physical media, support your local library, etc etc
