Black Phone 2 is out everywhere tomorrow, and trust, its VERY different from what came before it. But is it new and different enough to be better than the first film? Read the review I wrote for @horrorpress.com and find out!

‘Black Phone 2’ Review: Colder, Meaner, Faster—But Is It Better?

Black Phone 2 takes less of a step and more of a leap away from the first film that was brought to the silver screen three years ago. There’s no Joe Hill short story to serve as the bones for this one...

DS9 has some of the best written characters in all of television history. I will not be taking questions at this time.

Absolutely one of my fave films tbh #art #horror

Illustration of the film Jacob’s ladder from 1990. The top is a panel of Jacob with his back to the fence and string spotlight on him. Second is the serene from the film on the train with the ghostly looking doctor looking out the back. The bottom is a pinkish red panel, dog tags with no name and string. The title of the film is in large bold letters.

Threw on the new Criterion of NIGHTMARE ALLEY 2021 and forgot that the reappearance of Richard Jenkins and Mary Steenburgen makes this the Catalina Wine Mixer of Guillermo Del Toro's oeuvre.

Been reading through the play-test rules for Hexingtide, and I've got to say, its probably the most fun I've had reading through a #TTRPG all year.

Highly suggest checking this out if you're at all into horror, tabletop role playing games, or monster hero fiction!

A reminder that right now all AI is subsidized by venture capital. No one yet is quite certain what the real price of profitable AI will be, and thus no one can accurately predict what will happen when it legitimately comes to market. Energy prices alone will make many uses cost prohibitive.

SIDE NOTE: Thinking of kicking off the first weekend of October with a meta slasher marathon tomorrow. So far I got

Behind the Mask
CUT
Cherry Falls
and Wes Craven's New Nightmare

What other films should I add to the list?
