NOSFERATU will feed your 90s big-budget goth insanity needs with its SLEEPY HOLLOW / DRACULA 1992 sexy nonsense. It’s okay to admit you’re hungry.
And if I say this soundtrack unironically slaps? What then?

I spoke with John Lithgow and Geoffrey Rush for Dread Central’s digital cover story and used ‘What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?’ for its design reference. I’ve been having so much fun with these: tinyurl.com/336udwah

THE RULE OF JENNY PEN is ‘Whatever Happened to Baby Jane’ by way of ‘Grumpy Old Men’ and it’s just as frightening and funny as you’d expect from those two touchstones. It gets an easy four stars from me. The film is out next month via @shudder.com and @ifcfilms.bsky.social 👶🏻

My review of THE SUBSTANCE is featured in Demi Moore’s awards season campaign, and I couldn’t be gayer—I mean, prouder🧪

Looking for the perfect post-turkey movie to watch with the whole family before your long drive back to the city? Check out my favorite Christmas film, Dead End, now streaming on Prime and Tubi.
'Dead End' Is The Ultimate Forgotten Christmas Horror Movie
'Dead End' is the chilling existentialist Christmas horror movie you never knew you needed. Don't sleep on this scary forgotten gem.

I can’t believe it’s been 21 years and we still don’t know what happened to them. It’s so important not to underestimate nature, and to always be prepared while hiking or camping. 💕

This was my first year as a professional music critic, and I’m psyched to cap it off by contributing to the iconic @exclaimdotca.bsky.social 50 Best Albums of the Year list. For it, I had the chance to highlight Magdalena Bay’s Imaginal Disk, which landed at #15. The full piece: tinyurl.com/bdhjf3kn

Thank you to @exclaimdotca.bsky.social for letting me preach about my favourite track of the year in their Best Songs of 2024 roundup. Here’s what I wrote about the criminally underrated “Angel of My Dreams” by JADE 🪽

I said what I said
'Terrifier 3' deserves serious Academy Award recognition for its commitment to post-digital filmmaking, standing tall alongside celebrated handmade hits like 'Wicked' and 'Barbie,’ writes @joshkorngut.bsky.social 🎅🏻

I’m looking for horror audiobook recommendations! The weirder and scarier the better. Here are some recent listens I’ve enjoyed. Any suggestions?

FREELANCERS I have a question: Is it normal for a major outlet to reduce pay on my articles if I invoice them late? The contract indicates a 30-day post-pub due date but does not clarify payment reduction as a punishment.

For decades, Guillermo del Toro has been trying to produce an adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS. Unknowable evils, cities of unnatural dread, and creatures so nasty they drive you insane... This one's got it all. Listen here: tinyurl.com/4m3p4y7r
