The life and crimes of Ed Gein was partial inspiration for many films, not least: Psycho The Texas Chainsaw Massacre The Silence of the Lambs Deranged With TOADHEAD I wanted to see if I could spin a new yarn from the same well.

As a straight guy one of my main takeaways from the Get Back documentary was that bearded Paul would get it.

💀 I could try and promote my horror books by saying that horror is really popular right now, but I know that horror is ALWAYS popular for the folks who would get the most enjoyment out of them 💀

The moment I saw "COLOR TV" on the motel sign in Gus Van Sant’s Psycho, I felt like I was in on the joke. There are other keys sprinkled throughout to unlock the arch tone, if one cares to look.

In the 90s hair metal gave way to grunge, but in the 80s the way had already been prepared.

This little gargoyle is definitely reading TOADHEAD. From the look on his face he's just got to the grave robbing scene.

Another sighting of Toadhead in the wild (this time on FB). Will 2026 be the year *you* discover what happens when Teddy Doucet wakes up outside a graveyard with a hungry toad on his head?

I would have loved to have seen Jeremy Brett's stage performance of Dracula. His Sherlock Holmes was the apotheosis of magnetism.

Finally watched Pet Sematary 2. Why did it get so much hate? It's a solid sequel with a line of weirdness all it's own that manages to capture the Stephen King vibe (which cannot be said of all King movie adaptations/sequels).
