My 3rd time seeing @therealjoebob’s #HowRednecksSavedHollywood. It gets better every time, and always motivates me to be a better writer. JB & @kinky_horror stayed to meet every fan. Class acts. The real deal. Don’t miss this show when it comes to your town.

Some people are Nacho Cheese Dorito people. Some, like me, are Spicy Sweet Chili. I think most of us agree that IPAs suck, though.

Anyway, perfection is a journey.

The scariest part of “The Birds” isn’t the birds, it’s the community of bumbling people who insist upon living unnecessarily difficult lives. Dont believe me, read on as I take a crack at unraveling the real terror of Bodega Bay.

We're two days away from a freaky-deaky season that begins with FEASTING YOUR EYES and GLUTTING YOUR SOUL on the ACCURSED UGLINESS of the greatest actor of a generation. Friday at 9 EST/6 Pacific on @shudder and @AMCPlus including Canada. The second feature is flat-out insane.

For our season premiere, Joe Bob Briggs and Darcy The Mail Girl are having a 100th birthday party. If you’re a horror fan then you already know what we’re celebrating. If you’re not a horror fan, you’ll want to watch anyway for our deep-dive into American history.

George Lucas, Ian Fleming, and a whole bunch of Silver Age comic writers pretty much nailed the current state of things. It’d be cool if it wasn’t so truly horrifying.
