Outside, early evening ghosts made their pale ways home. Office workers in their cars and on buses. Half here and half nowhere through misted windows. But no real ghosts. No apparitions. No spectres fleeing from games of knock and run. ~ A Dreadful Beauteous Sight #writing

Knock knock. Dr Bradshaw stood in the corridor before the door, half in his coat, with a a rogue thought flashing through his brain, 'Who's there?'. Knock knock. Who's there? He took out his phone to answer the question. ~ A Dreadful Beauteous Sight #writing

Mike Flanagan is the creative equivalent of bleach.

Los Angeles Times: "In every version, Carrie is this clenched up, traumatized, terrified person who is afraid of everything in the world from the minute we meet het. Part of the fun for me was thinking, "Let's throw all that away. What's the opposite of Carrie?" This Carrie is curious eager, kind, earnest, and excited to be there." - Mike Flanagan, showrunner of Prime Video's "Carrie"

In every version of Dracula, Dracula is a vampire. But in my version I thought, what's the opposite of that? My Dracula is a suntanned estate agent in Marbella.

31 days of #horror #11 of #31 was Hard Rock Zombies (1984) Absolutely awful. The 'hard rock' isn't rock or hard, and the zombies are just people wearing white face paint. Also, Hitler is in it for some reason. Only to be watched when drunk with friends. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUpo...

I'm going to start my own True Crime Reaction channel. You don't see any of the True Crime I'm reacting to, it's just a full frame of me occasionally making sour faces and going 'eww', 'that's awful', and 'bloody hell'.

What a night it was to write. The old house was haunted by creaks and cracks. The windows rattled and thunder and lightning clapped and flashed in a perfect Foley. Now, all he needed were words. They were there, somewhere, buried in his fingers like gold in rock. #writing

The point at which the USA actually holds a public execution, is the point at which it dies as a country. There is no coming back from such a barbaric display. They'll have to invent a new category, not third world, but a no world country.

Out there, La Città Bianca, the White City of Ostuni sat beneath the spotlight of a full moon. It had something of the dream about it. A dream you knew was about to be broken by reality at any minute. ~ Annunciation #writing

I wasn't old enough to be woken by the alarm call of the bladder, and bad dreams were no cause either. But at three in the morning, I blinked awake with an uneasy feeling, and saw her through the bedroom window stood at the edge of the pool. A ghost but not a ghost. ~ Annunciation #writing

All things in ended in silence. There might be some fury beforehand, but at the end it was always silence. For three days the silence had piled up in every room of the villa. Even the insects had stopped their chatter. ~ Annunciation #writing

Before the end of the first night we had decided, without a word, to sleep in separate rooms of the villa. Not just separate, as far from one another as possible, as if the mere sound of one another dreaming would be offensive. ~ Annunciation #writing

The pool was a still blue; a perfect mirror to the sky. We lay beside it in silence, stewing in the heat and our thoughts. Those thoughts were black clouds gathering, and soon a thunder would break, we could both feel it. ~ Annunciation #writing

We thought the summer sun in some far away place would mend the rift between us. Italy was chosen. A spot we'd never visited, with no old memories to haunt us. Neither of us could have known new memories might do the same. ~ Annunciation #writing

It's sickening. The last public execution in the UK was 1858, for comparison.

Think I'll write something set in Italy today. Maybe located in a modern villa just outside the 'White City' of Ostuni. I wonder who'll be there when I arrive, and what shenanigans will occur after dark? Now, a soundtrack. Carmen Consoli, I think. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n1n...

The only acceptable use of AI is a Boris Karloff voice changer, so that I can turn my voice into that of Karloff's whenever I have to answer the phone.
