I had the opportunity to write about one of my favorite Hong Kong horror movies for Bloody Disgusting! It was a blast putting this one together.

Hong Kong’s hopping kung fu horror comedy MR. VAMPIRE is now streaming on Criterion Channel, and it also happens to be celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.

@horrordad.bsky.social looks back at the folklore and production behind this infectious '80s gem:

I’ve never been so tempted in my life.

Another movie’s climax ruined by my borderline obsessive knowledge of “Arrested Development” lines. 🤦‍♂️

Stack: VHS Edition. Found these last week. Coming across an O.G. Vestron release in the wild was great but “G.I. Samurai” was the tape that stole my heart. You know I’d walk a country mile for a Sonny Chiba picture any day.

Feeling a bit under the weather so I’m kicking back and introducing Arlo to a classic.

In case anyone asks, this is what I want playing when they lower me into the ground.

A couple of fantastic secondhand finds from yesterday. I feel like they're a weirdly accurate representation of my taste in movies. 😅

Who else feels old because they listen to audiobooks while working out? I just started this one. It’s my first Skal book, I’m embarrassed to say.

Was trying to figure out who Arlo reminded me of in this picture. Then it hit me… #sleepawaycamp

It’s a bloody scorcher out there today, so it’s time to crank up the AC, kick out the jams, and fantasize about freezing my ass off in the Arctic.

Much to my delight, Arlo's become a huge fan of those old Might Max toys from back in the day. Watching him play with them has been unlocking some core childhood memories. The 90's was a such a golden age for gateway horror toys.
