Elm Street 4: The Dream Master had a hit power ballad from Vinnie Vincent & sexy Mark Slaughter

Video was all over MTV & the movie became one of the biggest hits of the series

Unlike other 80s horror staples like Halloween or F13th, the Elm Street series had a steady flow of songs & video tie-ins.

Dream Warriors was the first (and best) but some interesting songs followed 🧵

Oct 15th - Twin brothers Elijah “Smoke” and Elias “Stack” buy a rundown sawmill, and start transforming it into one hell of a juke joint

📽️📅 Sinners (2025)

4 Screenshots from the movie "Sinners" (2025): First, a black screen with the text "Clarksdale, Mississippi October 16, 1932." Second, an interior of a church with attendees in white clothing, a man stands silhouetted in the doorway with a cross visible above. Third, a black screen with the text "one day earlier." Fourth, two men in suits and hats stand beside a vintage car against a rustic building backdrop.

I took Thursday off work just to see this film. I am not fucking around. Super excited

Before, after & the culprit

Evening walk literally a wild goose chase 🐶

ALIEN COVENANT remains a gothic sci-fi gem. Weird in the right places

The Neomorph is one of my favorite modern movie monsters

Ridley Scott 100% identifies with David

I would pay to watch Ridley have a philosophical conversation with Fassbender playing David

Matt Orion @orionjack.bsky.social · 16h

Ridley Scott is a trip lol. Saying stuff like

“It’s been said the cockroach will inherit the Earth. This is that cockroach. Look how lovely! Sleek. It has family. It cares for its young. The cockroach babies. Alien cockroach builds community. Quite beautiful, really”

Rewatching ALIEN COVENANT with director’s commentary just to feel something 🎥

Dane DiLiegro came in and owned this role like Kane Hodder taking over Jason. Intimidating physicality. Hell of a performance

Matt Orion @orionjack.bsky.social · 19h

Fantastic commentary. Movie is a modern classic

Excited to see the new one next month 🎥

Matt Orion @orionjack.bsky.social · 1d

Finally watching this with commentary from director & Amber Midthunder. Ten minutes in and it’s already so great 🎥

Good chunk of my local vhs rental store was his work. Seared into my psyche at a young age. Little kids full of awe staring at those covers, those posters

The man who made movie poster art, well, *an art* has passed: the great Drew Struzan.

Loved his work.

Let's not forget how he was tasked to make a poster for The Thing in hours knowing only the premise of the original 1951 film. The paint was STILL WET when he handed it in.

May he rest in peace.

Drew Struzan's poster for John Carpenter's 1982 movie The Thing, which depicts a weird unearthly light emanating from the unseen face of a man wearing a parka in a wintry setting.

Tagline: "The ultimate in alien terror."

I hope that little girl is somewhere happy and safe and we will meet again one day. If she becomes a writer, I’d love to be in her signing line. If she becomes a host, I would love to stand in the crowd. Whatever she becomes, I hope it makes her heart sing and brings her joy.

Chris Kempshall @chriskempshall.bsky.social · 1d

But I'd stopped watching Kristin. Instead I saw that young girl jump up and down with pure unfiltered joy and excitement and explain (repeatedly) to her her mum that Kristin had seen *her* and waved at *her*. Which, again sets off all my academic instincts to being wondering; 'So what happens next?'
