My latest review takes a look st ANYTHING THAT MOVES a giallo inspired thriller set in Chicago that looks great, though the story could play out a bit better. #horror

Anything That Moves is a Giallo Treat

Anything That Moves offers a visually grand but narratively imperfect giallo sexploitation thriller about a sex worker stalked by a killer.

My latest article @filmobsessive.com looks back at RACE WITH THE DEVIL... a fun fright flick from 1975 that should maybe be on your watch list this scary season... this cult classic never feared blending genres into one fun ride. #horror

Race with the Devil Still Delivers Delight

RACE WITH THE DEVIL remains a cult classic fifty years after its release because it never feared to blend multiple genres into one fun ride.

ROOFMAN is an oddly charming true crime romance that leaves an audience wondering if they should be rooting for the main character. #filmsky

filmobsessive.com/film/new-rel...

Roofman Is the Definition of Beguiling

ROOFMAN is a crime comedy that charmingly distracts from its peculiar core, a true story inspired romance about a thief stealing a heart.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

Looking to submit to a zine that welcomes horror for all its nastiness and also pays 10 cents per word? Look no further.

Open for subs through October 7th: cursedmorsels.com/submission-c...

FLESH Zine
For this submission call, we’re looking for pieces (500 words or fewer) connected to the broad theme of FLESH. This zine will be included for free with Samir Sirk Morató’s Gore Poetics, a Cursed Morsels 2026 release. For context, this book is weird, erotic, grotesque, queer, transgressive, literary, and intense if that gives you a sense for the kinds of work Samir and I (Eric Raglin) are looking for. Your submission can be fiction, poetry, or nonfiction.

Pay is 10 cents per word. We’re asking for first worldwide print and digital publishing rights but no exclusivity period. Contributors will receive five free physical copies of the zine.

This is an age old BS Republican line going back to the 80s... they make changes (deregulation, social welfare cuts, tax credit erases, etc.) which make something unaffordable then blame struggling people for not having enough money to pay for how they're getting screwed.
