This feels like something Tom Cruise might whisper to you at a cocktail party for a major film studio

Like you've never been coerced into writing a synopsis.

People love a story that just tells you what to think and feel about every little beat and character, don't they (derogatory)

bluestemmagazine.com/sp2023/richa... This time of year, I remember I wrote this story about the devil and his boyfriend. I think it has nice autumn vibes. 😈🧔

It's hard to imagine an edit that would play on TV at all. His body, if I recall, bumbles around ,not exactly fast, but certainly not slowly. I don't recall a chase sequence, but how many ambulatory severed head guys are there in film? That alone sounds too gory for regular tv.

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 06/10/2026

You're sure it wasn't Reanimator?

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 06/10/2026

Fast or slow? What era did it look like it was from? We're tracking down everyone's white whale fucked up memory films today!

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

YES

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

Let the Ritalin work its magic for everyone

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

That guy's face triggers some buried media memories from childhood - he was in Night Gallery a lot. 👀

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

And I'm a decent editor and always come in before deadline. People should really step up and give me money!

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

My local weird movie club screened this and it was a blast! They're working through your website's list.

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

So good & enigmatic

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

This purports to be a list of all film & TV that use it. Anything seem familiar?

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

This is why you have to write the story of the movie. If I were rich I'd do an anthology of lost & corrupted films that drive us nuts trying to identify! You're hired. When I'm rich, that is.

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

There's not much dog stuff in this one but there's so much awful gay sex. My first Sorokin and well, it's a treat.

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

Wow you sure are fucked lol. But for real, you've got to know the song?! That would be the key for me!

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

Could it be we need a weird movie expert? Paging @gilesforyou.bsky.social

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

Oh,you were! I kind of second guessed myself and thought, not knowing you, maybe you'd actually made the joke unintentionally.

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

*bangers jesus fucking christ

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

I am so tortured now. Thank you.

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

(As "ill" indicates I found these through interlibrary loan.)

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

Oops, Alligators is NOT funny; Blue Lard IS funny. Both are totally ill. Just to clarify. And I'm sorry to hear that. All too often I can't find books I want to read. Even with the internet. It's so demoralizing. Currently struggling to read a crappy PDF because the paperback is $500 😭

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

I'm going to have to break down and spend money to read it I fear.

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

Lol, yes! It's very fun and follows zero rules of "good writing" so please do check it out!

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

How is this so unique and yet still baffling? There's, I think, a modern silent film in the cthulu vein I once heard of?

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

PLEASE

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

I invite you to describe it (this is my special interest).

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

I need to get my hands on The Genocide House soon & yes, everything by Kloss has been the real shit.

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

Immense.

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

Lol, the price of befriending horror writers!

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

Reading nothing but absolute BANERS these days: "The Alligators of Abraham" by Robert Kloss (defeats Cormac McCarthy as hallucinatory historical) "Blue Lard" by Vladimir Sorokin (the way I cringed in respiratory agony when I thought Hitler was gonna fuck the dog) Next up, "Works Of Vermin"!!

First 2 books mentioned in the post pictured.

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

Unless you copyright this idea I'm writing this story because gyeeeeyahhhhhh nooooo

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

I have...no idea. What a terrible brainworm.

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

The tricky thing is that remembering recreates memory & images each time you think about it, so that mutations take place. You embellish or strip down, and add emotionally rational but not necessarily factual content to the memory as it replays, and it can become impossible to identify!

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

That's the shit that fascinates me so very much. Those foggy uncertain images haunting you for decades, taunting you to give them names, dates, any reasonable anchor in reality to prove their existence. But what's the scene or plot? Would you care to say? I'm 800 years old and might have seen it.

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

I wonder if you'll ever find it? Or if any record of it even exists? I got really obsessed with misremembered films from my teens for a while and had the amazing experience of having someone figure out my white whale lost film memory was (unfortunately) from Blood Mania.

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

So few people have seen it!

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

Not a word except street names from Mobile & New Orleans.

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

Yeah, it takes place in a world entirely unfamiliar to me and yet requires no tedious explanations to make sense & have emotional impact. That's something I want in fiction.

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

Gorgeous

Joe Koch @horrorsong.blog · 05/10/2026

Checked for "Limerence" by @spicycloaca.bsky.social and I see you've correctly included it!
