Lost Highway!

Man, how I do love this movie. Was great, getting to talk about it with Rob King. Really? I could have gone on and on on . . . https://25yearslatersite.com/2018/03/14/interview-stephen-graham-jones-a-discussion-on-lost-highway-and-mapping-the-interior/

Jaws on the Water

Hey now, somebody may have just read the moneyshot chapter of a slasher novel I just wrote: http://www.delish.com/food-news/news/a58598/jaws-open-water-viewing-this-summer/

Ready Player One

This is kind of the music-only equivalent of Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, yes?   Just got word that I can finally share my rejected theme song from @readyplayerone. They went with Alan Silvestri’s theme, but I still want to thank Steven Spielberg & @WarnerBrosEnt for the wonderful opportunity. pic.twitter.com/aK32ZOUA16 — demi adejuyigbe (@electrolemon) March

Psycho Cat

I think this will be only the second cat-related thing I’ve ever posted in all my internet years (before then, it was just leaving cat-related stuff on utility poles, I guess) (which I was a fiend for). The other is this Mapquest cat, whom I so completely identify with. This is maybe even cooler, though:

Annihilator!

Well, Annihilation. But I like saying it like a monster truck, or a wrestler. Just caught it at the cineplex. It’s a good time. Here’s some un-spoilerfree bullet points on/about it, since I don’t really have any kind of thesis to build a proper write-up around: the skull-faced anteater bear does what the bear did

Mick Garris’s Post Mortem

I dial up John Carpenter every chance I get. Whether he’s tolerating the person asking questions or not—and of course he’s good with Garris—there’s always something to learn:

Death of the Fanboy

Had this stranded in a tab for weeks, finally cued it up just now. Good stuff: http://nerdsthatgeek.com/blogs/the-death-of-the-fanboy 

Sherlock #13

Season 4, episode 3, “The Final Problem.” It’s up there with X-Files‘ 3.20 / “Jose Chung’s ‘From Outer Space,” now. So amazing. Five or six pics that I think sum it up:  

The Endless

Looks to be halfway between, say . . . The Void and Coherence, maybe? Either way, I’m game. Thanks to Matt Pridham for the headsup.

The Elvis Room is now a bar

Who knew, right? May have to swing by there next time I’m in Portalandia. No worries, though. “The Elvis Room” is still a ThisIsHorror chapbook, still a short film.

Best of 2017

For the first time ever, I kept a running tab of the best of every month: for January February March April May June July August September October November December It’s not everything I read/watch/listened to. Just the stuff I dug. And? I had this big idea that I’d peel back through all those, dither and

Favorite Horror Movies of 2017

Feel like I’m posting this too early, as I might get blown away by some movie X over the next five days. But I’ve got ten minutes right now, can get these down and in order, I think—with the caveat that I’ve yet to see Hounds of Love or Raw or Prevenge or Super Dark

The Last Jedi

I mean, first, yeah, loved it, clapped at the end, c’mon: of course.  Best part? All the younguns in the audience laughing and talking to the screen. New hope indeed. Second, couple of good links: http://terribleminds.com/ramble/2017/12/18/the-last-jedi-a-mirror-slowly-cracking/ https://theconcourse.deadspin.com/a-list-of-some-of-the-times-the-last-jedi-told-the-olde-1821396631?

Process

This is what writing is: you throw a lot of stupid stuff at a wall, then see what sticks. And you never really understand it enough to do it like that again, and, meanwhile, people say it means this and that, and for reasons you can’t figure out, the story lasts, even though it was

File under: Costumes I Need

This is probably only funny if you grew up watching Perfect Strangers—”Perfect Stranger Things” feels like a Jeopardy! question to a mashup answer—but never mind all that. What matters here? This costume. I wonder how that face petals opens like that? Animatronic? Air? I mean, the spindly fingers are useless, but so what. And I

So cool

This shot of Bruce the shark about to eat little Alex Kintner in #JAWS was cut from the film. pic.twitter.com/TpFXQAsn7Y — Stan Winston School (@SWinstonSchool) November 7, 2017
