This remains my favorite piece that I’ve ever written. I spilled more blood on the page here than ever before. Midnight Mass by @flanaganfilm.bsky.social had such a profound effect on me and in light of recent events, this piece seems more relevant than ever.

I wrote about one of my favorite killer women in horror history, THE HOWLING's Marsha Quist, paying tribute to the character's legacy and to the late Elisabeth Brooks, the actor who brought her to life. nbrehmer.medium.com/marsha-marsh...

My favorite actor since I saw Frankenstein when I was six. And The Walking Dead…what a picture

Brian Keiper @brianwaves42.bsky.social · 1d

I’ve only seen a handful of anime features but I’ve heard great things about this. And what better way to see a movie for the first time than on the big screen

Brian Keiper @brianwaves42.bsky.social · 2d

I’m working on an article (okay listicle) in which I need to make choices between movies I love and I am WAY overthinking this.

I’ve never quite forgiven myself for skipping this in theaters back in ‘96. Rectifying that today. Better late than never.

Seeing this theatrically tonight is one of my favorite movie going experiences of the year. I’ve always loved it of course but this was just mind-blowing

Definitely worth seeing theatrically

Brian Keiper @brianwaves42.bsky.social · 10d

CANDYMAN is such a beautifully shot movie and seeing it on the big screen took it to a whole new level. Not to sound cliche but—what a picture!

Brian Keiper @brianwaves42.bsky.social · 10d

This is my theatrical double feature for tonight and I could not be more delighted to start my weekend this way.

I’ve been fortunate to see several of my favorite Hitchcock films on the big screen, but this will be the first time for this masterpiece.
