My October horror movie viewing thus far. Tried to get 5 banked before the film festival because I'm insane.

All jokes aside - I'm doing introductions for every screening. I'll be on the CBC hawking my wares tomorrow. And I'm on three different panels talking about screenwriting in the CDN film industry. It's gonna be an incredible week!

Charlottetown Film Festival kicks off tomorrow. I've spent a year thinking about this week and we're finally here. Wish us luck!

Rewatched THE FOG (1980) for the first time in years and I now think it’s a 10/10.

Incredible atmosphere and patience. Phenomenal use of a big cast, great pacing and really fantastic effects.

I can’t believe I used to think this was a lesser Carpenter.

Hard to overstate just how bad hurricane Fiona pummelled our forests in 2022. It’ll be decades before the damage is repaired. It does make for some cool pics tho.

I’m so damn proud of this series. I really think it occupies a unique space on the shelf. I hope now that it’s all collected more folks give it a shot.

I read CEMETERY KIDS RUN RABID #2 last night.

I friggin' love this book. Love these characters. And I'm TERRIFIED of what #3 has in store for them.

So glad @oni-press.bsky.social brought this one back. @zacthompson.bsky.social and @danielirizarri.bsky.social are incredible.
