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:

Oh man! I really dug this. What a gem. I find the creativity and authenticity at this budget level really inspiring. Go in as blind as possible. Shout out to @freddyinspace.bsky.social for putting it on my radar. Had no idea it existed until he posted about it.

I saw a wonderfully gruesome horror movie called BRING HER BACK this afternoon. Thoughtful, textured, and scary as hell.

🎵 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. A screen grab from Terrifier 3 where art is dressed up as Santa in the Santa chair at the mall

A dream interview was chatting about WEREWOLVES with SFX legend Alec Gillis. Of all the movie monsters he's delivered in his impressive career, this marks his first werewolf! And he's already champing at the bit for a sequel: bloody-disgusting.com/interviews/3...

Few things I love more than coming across Gremlins on TV during the holiday season. I'm tired. I was about to go to bed. But it can wait. I don't leave Kingston Falls until the movie kicks me out.

Annual reminder that The Munsters escorted Santa in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade back in 1964. Fred Gwynne reportedly got drunk and was shouting at everyone. Isn't that what the holidays are all about? Happy Thanksgiving!

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!

Just finished Whitley Strieber's The Wolfen and followed it up with Freddy Krueger's Tales of Terror: Virtual Terror. Up next is James Murray and Darren Wearmouth's You Better Watch Out. Trying to stick with Christmas themed stuff through December!

Thrift stores! They almost always have VHS tapes. Yard sales too. Otherwise, eBay/Mercari, places like that.

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.

We'll see. It's a good start, but I don't know how you really get any of that under control as this place grows.

I think we can be pretty certain that as this place gets bigger and bigger, it'll eventually become like any other social media platform. I'm certainly not buying into the delusion that it will ultimately be any different. BUT I am definitely enjoying it FOR NOW!

Extreme responses get more attention. That's really all there is to it. We've kind of all been trained to be EXTREME so that we get the most engagement on our thoughts. And with Twitter literally paying people based on engagement now, yeah, it's gotten really, really bad over there.

John Squires @freddyinspace.bsky.social · 22/11/2024
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.

Bought one of those old school TV/VCR combo deals so I can watch stuff like the Madballs VHS tapes while eating dinner. Instantly felt my life and mental health improve. Recommend.
