One of the things I’ve found as I get older is that I’m completely uninterested in “the book is always better” as a truism. Excited to dig into this!

Maaaaan, after this you should have had the next episode be Annihilation! (But you probably already did it.)

Author @lauracranehill.bsky.social (WIFE SHAPED BODIES) joins to compare Stalker (1979) to the book it was based on: ROADSIDE PICNIC. This strange, beautiful film got us wondering, would this be the way to adapt her novel? Our full episode with her is available now wherever you listen to podcasts!

It’s long been a dream of mine to be published by @uncannymagazine.bsky.social, one of THE top magazines in genre fiction. Today, I’m excited to say I am—but with nonfiction! That I get to share the spotlight w/ my Ink to Film co-host @jamebail.bsky.social makes it all the better. I hope all enjoy!

Movie 3 is “We Have Always Lived in the Castle” (2018) based on the novel of the same name by Shirley Jackson. Our coverage begins on this one for my podcast Ink to Film later this week!

Night 2 film is a classic I’ve never seen! Not expecting to love it, but interested to see where the franchise began

Good fun! Overall it was cool, definitely some badass and harrowing sequences that will stick with me. Some really funny moments, too. There was a good bit of plot convenience to move things along, and the day-for-night shots were a mixed bag, but overall good stuff. Glad to have watched it now

Decided to challenge myself to watch 31 horror movies I haven’t seen yet this October, basically because I’ve missed a bunch I wanted to see over the years and why not knock a bunch out, right? So I put them all in a big list and did a random selection—first up is Nope (2022)! Excited 👽

Fifteen years on, how does David Fincher’s adaptation of THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO hold up against the novel? We’re impressed! Let’s talk about why ⤵️ Video bit.ly/3UDYg4y Audio bit.ly/4r1awbA #stieglarsson #danielcraig #lisbethsalander

Stieg Larsson's THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO was a smash hit on release, but tragically he never lived to see it. Between his life and the horrific event that led to the creation of thriller-icon Lisbeth Salander, there's so much to get into about this one! 📺 bit.ly/4zEt3hz 🎙️ bit.ly/45Qd16K

The forgotten key word in the Horror Writers Association, it turns out, is not Horror, nor Writer, but ASSOCIATION. The majority of our horror writing community clearly does not wish to be associated with AI slop or right wing extremism. Please hold a General Meeting @horrorwritersassoc.bsky.social

I was lucky enough to host a conversation w/ @fondalee.bsky.social about her novel #thelastcontractofisako at Parallel Worlds bookshop!

Christopher Nolan's take on "The Odyssey" is an epic for our time, while still honoring the original. Whether you loved it or not, it's clear he made an auteur event film in an age of AI slop and that's something worth celebrating. Argos is waiting ⤵️ 📺 bit.ly/4g4p7yR 🎙️ bit.ly/4pQCQN1

Perhaps Literature's most enduring narrative has captured imaginations for 3,000 years, but after Emily Wilson's translation inspired Christopher Nolan to make it his next film, it has entered public discourse like never before!

Once upon a time (2019) we did "Watchmen," but when Laura from @whythebookwins.bsky.social reached out about covering it together we jumped at the opportunity! Such a delight to revisit one of the greatest comics ever (& compare it to the Snyder adaptation) 👀⤵️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OJ0...
