Here's a thread of some of the writing I'm proudest of in 2025. (Not pictured: the writing that didn't get published because I chose not to compromise my voice.)

I asked this on insta but I really need to know: what other movies are Flavor Flav's Nite Tales? Other than this and Nite Tales: The Movie from 2008, I can't find any. But there must be more! The wording of "the movie" implies maybe there was a series?

"I have to go back to the Terrifier."

Check out my latest feature for Filmhounds, asking if the claims that Terrifier is misogynistic hold up.

Do The Claims Of Misogyny In Terrifier Hold Up? - FILMHOUNDS Magazine
Art the Clown is a new horror icon but does the claims that the Terrifier films are sexiest hold weight or is it a circus?
