And you know what the worst part is? Those kinds of people will always get away with it. The universe never punishes them. Karma never gets them. #BookishTues #writingprompt #booksky "How To Be A Professional Mourner"

The glamour of being an indie writer. I ordered copies of my book for the upcoming cons, and the geniuses at Amazon packed my laundry detergent with it—this is the result. Oprah help me. The detergent is everywhere — my clothes, the floor, all over my books. Someone tell me something good!

Underrated horror gem: Botched (2007) is a gory, funny, quirky, fun, and little-loved, low-budget good time. #horrormovie #underrated

Happy 38th anniversary to one of my all-time favorites, my beloved Chopping Mall! This movie is a classic and should be seen by everyone! This was one of the first 2 horror movies I ever rented on VHS 📼 (the other being the wonderful April Fool’s Day). Have a nice day! #HorrorMovies #ChoppingMall

Origin of the word “spinster” was in reference to their occupation and used to convey independent women who supported themselves and shunned social norms and expectations of their day; these women were considered useful and self-sufficient. Now people use it in a derogatory way. #HorrorWritersChat

I'm Matt. I write horror. There's a feeling I get from horror that I don't get elsewhere, and I love that horror supports smart, brave women. I love to be scared and thrilled...until 3am when I hear every noise in the house. It also helps release my own fears and anxieties. #HorrorWritersChat

My box of books for the author con is here! Come see me on Saturday, March 23rd, at Rhode Island College Student Union. I don’t want to say my writing will change your life, but Grandma said I’m a special, handsome boy; definitely a completely unbiased and honest opinion. #HorrorWriters #HorrorCon

I love strong, smart, brave, capable, resilient, and resourceful female characters, final girls, and heroines, so Annie in The Felicitous and Mary in You Better Watch Out are flawed, human, intelligent, and not waiting to be rescued--they'll fight back. #HorrorWritersChat

On this day 35 (!) years ago, my queen Debbie went to #1 with the amazing, beautiful song "Lost in Your Eyes". This is the magical, wonderful video for your viewing pleasure, as I declare today a national holiday for a national treasure. #debbiegibson #music www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ms3...

Oof! For me, it's a few things. (1) Finding the time and energy after work, life, responsibilities, and such; (2) Too many ideas at once, trying to remember them all and stay on course of the story; and (3) It's me. Hi. I'm the problem, it's me. #HorrorWritersChat

I'm Matt Forgit. I write horror novels. My work is a love letter to the great horror movies, shows, books, and final girls. My latest novel, The Felicitous, is an homage to 70s cult movies, 80s slashers, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Hills Have Eyes, and horror heroines. #HorrorWritersChat
