And this is why I DO read the comments 😆

Youtube comment on In A Strangers House saying "Adam Savage has let himself go quite a bit, hasn't he?"

You’re too kind! I hadn’t checked out this goofy short about evil VHS tapes in a hot minute and hopefully folks can enjoy! Shockingly, it IS on Letterboxd 🤣

I’m feelin a lil melancholy about a film that was supposed to be happening for me right now that didn’t (so it goes), so here’s a whacky horror short some mates and me made a decade ago that I somehow was able to use to claim the Video Nasty Facebook page. Ridiculous! youtu.be/5BFZYdIKlA8?...

I watched the Ray Gunn trailer and man could I just listen to Tom Waits’ voice for hours. The way he’s used in the trailer, it’s like the filmmakers totally agree, but then someone left the ‘And Tom Waits’ credit off the end 😢

I have seen this film a shocking amount of times, yet I barely remember a thing, except a young me getting very confused as to what Einstein actually invented.

Today I was supposed to start rolling on a new feature. There was no big drama or anything and I’m instead full steam ahead with something in the new year, but there’s always a bit of sadness over what doesn’t happen. I just wanna make movies with people who wanna make movies, we can do this!

Not sure why, but I'm mulling over when a journalist friend posted the press release for one of my films, but removed a part of my quote in it about the emotional realworld connection of it for me. I've always wondered if it's cuz it was cringe, or they didn't think I was a person to have depth!

Punching up a script I love, and using techniques of Robert Rodriguez, Matt Stone, and Trey Parker to do so. What a combo.

I was worried if my comic is perhaps too self indulgent, but then I remembered the words of Björk and now I need to make it even more self indulgent 🥰

God, The Lords of Salem is great. It really is the best modern iteration of 70s/80s Italian horror madness without being tongue in cheek or taking the piss.

I wasn’t a big fan of The Mummy, but I think Lee Cronin has some of the most honest and inventive filmmaking style out there. Evil Dead Rise is such a great balance of his skill with something that hits the target IMO. Here’s to hoping for many more outings with his creative control at the helm!

Creating films, making music, and writing were always some of my favourite things in the world to do. And I've watched all of them get devalued more and more over the past 15 years.

It's so weird this keeps happening, but I contribute to some film crowdfunding campaigns and for some reason end up overlooked when it comes to a shout out (or occasionally actually sending me the finished thing). It feels like it happens too often to be coincidence!

I’m gearing up for a *new thing* in a few months so I’m getting myself psyched up by diving into filmmaker commentaries. They Look Like People, Backrooms, and Baskin are just the tip of the iceberg.

This is a great interview with Ridley Scott. For what could have been a basic PR Q&A session, he is really direct, sometimes a bit coarse, and really attention grabbing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWTe...

Thank you Ally for bringing back a physical copy of In A Stranger’s House from the USA! It was the last of my films (aside from Distort 2) that hadn't hit physical media, and it's so cool to have it for the collection!! You can get it here if you’re a completionist: a.co/d/0hOIUtjF

I took this photo at 3.30am on my weird journey back to my hotel last night. Kinda shocked I made it to an 11am screening and was only mildly disgusting demeanour-wise the whole day. Frightfest 2026 is done for me. Loved it. Good films. Great catch ups. Maybe I bring a film next time, yeah? ;)

I’m at Frightfests and not gonna lie, just spent half an house getting back to the hotel 100m from where I was drinking, which I don’t do often. AMA I guess!

So damn PSYCHED to finish up working today so I can grab a flight to @frightfest.bsky.social ! It's mad that its 5 years since we premiered Bring Out The Fear there. I can't wait to make some new discoveries this weekend and catch up/meet as many of my horror fam as possible!

I long for the days when my value was as the creative bringing their work to the table for this hungry distributor to get out into the world. Now, it feels a bit like my worth is to be taken as someone 'lucky' enough to pay for the privilege to get the bare basics. I miss the world we were building.

Ok, quick question; Filmhub sent me two emails soliciting me their paid Premium service and I wanted to reply politely, but have somehow written a novella (well 1100 word) reply. Seems I have a lot of feelings as someone who has been with them a long time and 'has thoughts'. Do I press send...? 😬

I find it so disgusting that an Instagram post I made for my recently deceased friend keeps getting the same scam comments on it day after day because it's a 'well performing' post. Even when I report and block them, they are back under the same name the next day. Fucking cesspool.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

The longer I study story, the more I become convinced that emotion is the only thing that matters. A story that lands the emotion will overcome any problems with plot or craft..

God I hate Facebook. I accidentally bought an extra pass to Frightfest (Friday, if anyone is looking for a ticket 😉) and posted in a group trying to resell it. Someone did offer to buy it. A MONTH AGO. No notification for that though. But if Jimmy Who posts in a group I don’t use? Ping! 🤦🏻‍♂️

I'm gagging to cut more narrative films, but aside from cutting my own ones, I'm really struggling to find people to collab and cut for. Anyone shooting/shot anything they need an editor for? I really wanna build up my narrative-editing-for-others experience!
