It has been a game changer over the last few years. I know his grandma is so proud of him (she used to make homemade sauce every week - they immigrated from Italy, and she used to make her own pasta too, but we haven't been able to get to that level just yet).

Kind of excited because I made a homemade lasagna today (B makes his own sauce).

There is SO much to talk about with SWEET HOME. Kiyoshi Kurosawa's early style development, how we may never see the theatrical cut, the incredible work from legend Dick Smith and the entire effects crew, and the melting. Oh, melt fans, the melting in this movie. Divine.

Because we were chatting about Mike Flanagan earlier today, I wanted to share my essay I wrote earlier this year on how both THE LIFE OF CHUCK and JACOB'S LADDER gave us such compelling explorations of dying. I'm really proud of this piece. from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/exploring-ja...

I mean, this wasn’t in reference to CARRIE specifically, more so just something my other half saw on Reddit this morning saying he’s the worst adapter of King’s work which is why I mentioned the other projects which I have seen. People can like/dislike what they want, I’m just talking track record.

We really are! Just look at the King adaptations last year alone!

Heatherface Wixson @thehorrorchick.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
Yeah, I’m not totally sure if there’s a minimum age or anything like that…in this case, it could be the fact that there are several other adaptations already, and we do have a lot of unadapted King out there still. It’s hard to say really but I don’t know if there’s age requirement necessarily.

That’s so backwards!! Shouldnt it be different? I mean, I wasn’t necessarily dying for a new adaption myself but I have an appreciation for all of them (including The Rage: Carrie 2) for different reasons so I’m excited to give it a shot in a few weeks when life calms down.

SLEEPWALKERS is totally wacky fun but I remember getting burned by THE TOMMYKNOCKERS big time lol. I do remember liking ROSE RED. And I forgot that DREAMCATCHER was actually the early aughts…

As someone who has been making their way through ‘90s horror and a lot of King adaptations, y’all don’t even know the hard times some of us King fans have lived through lol.

I haven’t seen CARRIE yet (have to wait to November because life is A LOT this month) but after GERALD’S GAME, DOCTOR SLEEP (especially the director’s cut), and THE LIFE OF CHUCK, people are really saying Mike Flanagan isn’t good at adapting Stephen King? Come on now…

Knowing that Joseph Kahn’s shitty column probably got way more attention than anything I’ve written ever in my career is just…a very specific feeling. I don’t know, I wish people spent more time amplifying the writers they enjoy and celebrating good work than sharing that kind of drivel.

NEVER AFTER DARK is one of my favorite films of the year. Saw it at SXSW and got to rewatch it tonight followed by a Q&A with director Dave Boyle, expertly moderated by @crobertcargill.bsky.social. Go see this movie in a theater if you can.

Kwaidan is on HBO Max. If you haven't seen it, don't be alarmed by the 3 hr running time. It earns every minute. Slow and quiet but hypnotic because the visual, sonic, and narrative negative space create tension. This seems paradoxical if you prioritize "fast" movies.

I don't think we should be giving clicks to sites that consistently publish pieces from folks who either don't know horror or hate the genre instead of hiring any of us out here who know genre film and want to work, but are struggling due to the state of the industry.
