"On #Halloween, nobody in Southern California does it bigger than #Burbank." TRUTH. I was blown away by Burbank's Halloween after moving here. Pics don't do justice to the creativity this town exhibits on Halloween.

Things are getting spooky — and the crowds are lining up.

In August, I started a re-read from issue #1. I'm about to start issue #22. Love this book.

A new book, OTHER WORLDS THAN THESE (T3), is published today. It's the final book of the Talisman trilogy, co-written with my old buddy, Peter Straub. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

I much prefer this version of THE BLOB to the original. It's a big upgrade that pays plenty of homage to the original, with great characters, great FX, and it really goes for it in every way. Super fun and inventive. We need a 21st century version, it's overdue. #horrormovies #horrorsky #movies

And when the New Beverly Cinema had a screening in May '23, I was there. My daughter asked why I was watching it so much. Took a while to figure what I think is the right answer: I went so long without rewatching this film that my brain wants to make up for lost time. Or maybe I'm... psycho. 🔪

But at some point after Covid I stumbled across the film again, and it was like seeing an old friend. I snagged a copy of the script directly from its writer Tom Holland. I picked up the score, which I used to have on tape back in the day, along with the poster. I bought the blu ray.

My annual #October #horror #movie marathon starts today with a classic: PSYCHO II. It's an annual rewatch for me. I somehow went 20+ years without seeing it, even though I used to have the poster on my bedroom wall as a kid, much to my mother's consternation.

Reading has become an endangered species. Which is half the problem with American political life. Maybe more than half. If you can't read, you can't think. Then you can fall for anything. The idea, for instance, that the truth is fake news.

If Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk all agree that we have to slow down - and now - something serious clearly happened with a frontier AI model. Journalists should be digging in to this. We aren’t getting the whole story here.

The actual confirmation came a while later: he was at the adjacent Navy Annex when the plane hit. He told me later they heard the plane clipping antennas on the Annex roof as it came down. Thousands of families didn't get the good news I did. Hard to believe it's been 25 years. Never forget.

COOL REAL-WORLD PLOT BONUS: an elderly woman in the audience said that her father was one of Voyager's programmers, thus HE is the Creator of V'ger. 😀

There are shots inside V'ger where Enterprise is sometimes just a dot on screen. That's what I wanted to see on the big screen -- and it didn't disappoint. Trumbull's effects are so revolutionary they still stand up today. That the DE version exists at all is a miracle IMO.

The reason TMP gives us that slow exterior tour of the Enterprise in space dock is to deliver that massive sense of scale, then destroy it once Enterprise is swallowed by V'ger.

Rob Sheppe @robsheppe.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
The film's restored FX and minor editing changes to conform it with Robert Wise's desired vision make the film MUCH better than what was initially released. The visual scales -- the Enterprise, V'ger, the vastness of outer space -- still haven't been matched in any Trek film.

Rob Sheppe @robsheppe.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
The DE producer spoke in detail about how the film released in '79 was a rough cut due to a hard release date and delays in FX. I won't go into that nitty gritty as I already know it and it's not that interesting if you're not a hardcore Trekker.

After, I hung out in the hall to talk with them about Doug Trumbull a bit. I didn't like TMP much as a kid. I thought it was visually spectacular but slow. But I kept returning to the film, and it grew on me. I came to love it. It's basically an episode of Trek stretched into two hours.

For my STAR TREK and cinephile friends: Last night I went to a screening of STAR TREK: TMP Director's Edition. I'd seen it on streaming but not the big screen. To the audience's great surprise, the DE producer and post-prod supervisor showed up to introduce the film and hold a Q&A after. #StarTrek

250,000 Americans marched on Washington 63 years ago today. They marched for jobs and for freedom. They marched because they were tired of being told to wait for equality. The March on Washington was a call to action for our nation. Today, we must answer the call once again.

71 years ago today, Emmett Till was lynched in the Jim Crow South. Mamie Till-Mobley chose to have the world see the violence inflicted to her son, serving as a catalyst to the civil rights movement. Here in Illinois, we will never hide from or forget our painful history.
