The world is a MUCH darker place than it was a year ago. But the message of the book remains. There is no escaping darkness… but there is a way through it. There is always a path to hope. A path to second chances. And a path to fresh starts. WE are not who we were yesterday—

MOUTH was unleashed one year ago today (for real this time 😅)

Crazy to think our weird, sweet, horrific teeth angel has been out in the world that long. I’m so grateful to every single person who has taken the time to read, review, and share the book. This book has been life changing—

Radiohead’s THE BENDS turns 30 years old today. It’s one of my favorite albums of all time… and one that means the world to me. So much so… it plays a *pivotal* role in 8114.

Sharing a small snippet of the book to celebrate this momentous day 🖤

8114 (and a ton of other rad titles/friends) made this list over on… MEN’S HEALTH 😲🤯

What a fun surprise! And it will remain a fun surprise as long as Men's Health doesn’t ask me what my diet & exercise regiment was while writing 8114 (or you know… *anything* about my diet & exercise regiment 😅)

Coralie Fargeat sent out a 90 page (!!!) look-book with THE SUBSTANCE screenplay when they were shopping it. Not a pitch deck. An entire feature length look-book that tracks the movie from beginning to end with horrific images. It’s rad… and inspiring as hell.

Someone asked:

"So... public domain cosmic horrors that aren't Lovecraft. What do we got?"

The tradition that gave us Lovecraft & co. is rich and deeply weird. While they aren't all cosmic horror, they all informed it.

So. 1 like = 1 public domain weird story that isn't by H. P. Lovecraft.

“The unfortunate, inescapable truth is that the world is full of horror. But horror cinema has also always been full of the world.”

This is good.

Is Horror Political? Glad You Asked…

Catherine Corcoran, star of the original TERRIFIER, joins Fango to remind us that the world is full of horror, but horror has also always been full of the world.

Among the many, many things that made that halftime show great was the fact that it was produced for the viewers at home more than those in the stadium.

“Why do they keep making Jurassic Park/World movies??”

Umm. Jurassic World Dominion was the SIXTH installment in the franchise and made ONE BILLION DOLLARS at the box office.

That’s why 🙃

(Fun fact: The Lost World and JP3 are the only two in the franchise to NOT hit the one billion dollar mark…)
