I write Horror, Scifi, and any other genre that compels me. If you need the threat of hell to be a good person, then you're just a bad person on a leash. Mostly Andy Often Opie Barney on occasion Goober and/or Gomer sometimes

While going through my latest script for a "tighten tighten tighten" run, I figured out a way to do this one thing I'm doing in it in a completely different, definitely BETTER way.

At some point we have to step back and say we're done... but that ain't today!

It's in my wheelhouse!

Would be fun to see what Jordan Peele would do with it, too!

Very Stephen King-y

Love it

S.K.A.T.E. is a trick-matching skateboarding game (like basketball's H.O.R.S.E.). Played all over the world, no words needed. I made a short film inspired by my game with a French skater. Coming 11/14/25. #filmsky

Christmas is coming, and so is the HORROR!

SCROOGE: CITY OF THE DAMNED
Ebenezer Scrooge fails to keep his Christmas promise, so a vengeful 4th Spirit unleashes a horrorific terror upon London. If Scrooge fails to redeem himself, humanity will literally be consumed

All that careful curation smashed upon Algorithm Rock

That's a good thought, but no.

I just looked online. A box of 5000 staples is about $2

So... it's about $7 in staples

It just sounded like a lot

Cleaned out one desk drawer and one junk drawer

Discovered that we currently own 17,250 staples

That's not a misprint

We estimated our monthly staple usage and determined that if we both live to be 85, we'll be leaving our daughter 17,211 staples to do with as she pleases.

I've probably said it before, but it bears repeating.

Some of the best comedic writing to ever exist in television is from...

Grace and Frankie

Here are all of the IMDB listed writers, in alphabetical order

Bravo, one and all!
