So I was wondering… do you think one of the aliens who were making all those crop circles at the beginning of “Signs” landed in Gatlin and had a reeeeeaaaaallly bad day?

I am deeply confused by the trailer for “Send Help”. Because it seems like I’m supposed to maybe root for the asshole CEO to escape from the woman he wronged not knowing he’d owe his entire life to someday? Instead of hoping she tans his skin into a roof for her tropical lean-to?

I seriously thought those were sea urchins. Just straight up looked at that picture and thought, “Cool! You’re making sushi!”

Birds of prey always awe me. Saw a bald eagle in flight on Friday and I was just captivated the whole time.

Yes, I'll be making some money off this thing, and that's good, but the whole point of the project was to get the books out into the world.

I'd like to get it to 3K before the thing is over.

I believe this was the name of the proposed Dracula/Dirty Harry crossover. “I have my rights, I have my Satanic rights!”

List of movie titles that includes “The Satanic Rights of Dracula”, rather than “Rites”.

I would have charged clean off the mound and hoped for a quick death once I knew what was going on.

Half Price Horror @halfpricehorror.bsky.social · 3d

I’ll be looking forward to it!
