Pulled out some special purchases from Ireland for a little pre St. Patrick’s Day tasting session ☘️

Totally worth having to buy an extra suitcase and open all our luggage up for Customs upon our return home 😂

30 min into my 9-hour press day for FSBE! Wearing my favorite shirt from Wicked Clothes for good luck, and everyone gets to look at monster butts while they talk to me.

Never thought I’d be announcing that a movie I directed is available for preorder on Apple TV, yet here we are. 😭

So… who’s hosting the watch party?

Thrilled that FOR SALE BY EXORCIST is an official selection of Nevermore Film Festival! Not commenting on whether any dark forces were or were not bound in the making of this fest acceptance. 🤫

I’ll be there to intro and Q&A at the 2 screenings. Can’t wait to see the other films in the lineup!

This ghoul loves a red-carpet moment. Missing the fun and camaraderie of Nightmares Film Festival and counting the days until next year’s fest!

Popped into Hot Topic to check out the #amandatheadventurer shirt, and they rolled out the red carpet. I am beyond grateful to @dreadxp.bsky.social, MANGLEDMaw, and everyone who made this happen. Life is a dream.

Here’s something to beat the Sunday Scaries. When we were packing up orders this weekend, we found we have enough components to make eight more of the Ghoulish Goodie Bag (but then THAT’S IT—REALLY!!). We’re going to list them at 8:00PM EST TONIGHT!

Spotted in the wild! @claymcleod.bsky.social’s latest in the window at our neighborhood book shop!

Just heard something go bump in the night! Could it be little ghouls and goblins getting a head start on the witching season? Or is Party Werewolf lost in the catacombs again?

If there’s one thing @chrislamartina.bsky.social and I love, it’s spreading Halloween joy. These are already going FAST. 🎃🖤

Literally planned my entire day around this moment

Ahhhhh this is tomorrow night!!! Still can’t believe we’re playing this show!

Greetings from the Flatwoods Monster Museum! Seen anything strange in the skies lately? ☄️

Post Blobfest Run Out with the hauntingly handsome Party Werewolf himself. Too bad it wasn’t a full moon that night!

Thanks go to Lauren Ariel for snapping this photo of my spooky sweetheart and me. 🖤

Greeting the crowd at the Blobfest Run Out show last month…or Blop Fest, as @tedgeoghegan.bsky.social observed.
