Will we finally learn what she stands for if we buy the book?
Kamala Harris announces the ‘107 Days’ tour.

Famously! Kamala loves the trans! Her campaign had so much pro-trans policy! It's definitely not her fault she lost!

Wrapped up @fantasiafestival.com yesterday with TOUCH ME, Addison Heimann's divisive and gorgeous tentacle horror comedy(?). Some moments were absurd, others were too real, but I definitely enjoyed the ride. Don't ever trust the smooth talking nice guy™️ in a track suit! 📽️ @horrorpress.com

QUEENS OF THE DEAD is a campy blast with a "cast full of queens, but no divas". Watching it with the crowd @fantasiafestival.com made it even better. Congrats to Tina Romero for making this glitter gore riot! 📽️👑 @horrorpress.com

LURKER really made me feel ill. An excellent parable about everything that's sick about the entertainment industry. Plus we got these face masks! 📽️ @fantasiafestival.com @horrorpress.com

$POSITIONS is how Silver Linings Playbook should have gone, basically. Broke, bloody and full of piss!! 📽️ 🤑 (I'm sorry, it's been 2 weeks of @fantasiafestival.com, my brain melted about 7 movies ago 🫠) @horrorpress.com

I loved watching Alex Phillips's ANYTHING THAT MOVES. Every moment looked so gorgeous and so nasty. Absolutely stunning filth 🥰📽️ @fantasiafestival.com @horrorpress.com

DOLLHOUSE has everything you could ever want in a haunted doll movie! Twists, camp, practical effects, terrifying children, crazy exorcists! Don't do doll therapy!! 📽️ @fantasiafestival.com @horrorpress.com

After last year's fav Steppenwolf, I loved going back to the Great Steppe for Kazakh Scary Tales. Folklore 🤝 monster hunting is always a good time!! 📽️ #fantasia @horrorpress.com

Ian Tuason's debut feature THE UNDERTONE is the terrifying microbudget gem that horror nerds dream of finding. It has creepy pasta, death bed eeriness, Catholic nightmare lore. Audio that will make you rethink ever using headphones. You'll never sleep again! @fantasiafestival.com @horrorpress.com

If you've been @fantasiafestival.com in recent years, you've encountered films by @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social, but nothing they've made so far will prepare you for MOTHER OF FLIES! It's both a feast of nightmares and a celebration of life and mortality! 📽️ @horrorpress.com

Got to see Julie Pacino's I LIVE HERE NOW @fantasiafestival.com yesterday. It is a solid debut, trippy and lynchian, and I'm excited for wtvr she does next! 📽️👑 @horrorpress.com

Loved being in a room full of Buffy & Charmed fans for The Serpent's Skin by @alicemaiomackay.bsky.social last night. Loved the camp, the raunch, the gore and the witchcraft!! 📽️🐍 #fantasia @horrorpress.com

The production design and art direction in this movie is off the fucking rails, holy shit, goddamn, wtf, am I still high? 📽️ #lucid #fantasiafestival @horrorpress.com

@fantasiafestival.com last night: Annapurna Sriram's Fucktoys is a capitalist tragedy masquerading as a sexploitation comedy. She proves herself to be a talented performer with incredible comedic timing. I laughed, I was horrified, I fell in love with 16mm film!! @horrorpress.com
July 23, 2025 at 5:43 PM
Really had fun at last night's screening of TERRESTRIAL @fantasiafestival.com. It's the kind of thriller that keeps you guessing and laughing while the story twists and warps until suddenly you're heartbroken 📽️ @horrorpress.com
July 22, 2025 at 12:24 AM
Still thinking bout last night's screening of It Ends @fantasiafestival.com The writing was so good & I was deeply moved. Alex Ullom really nailed the dread - apathy - hope pipeline, and I feel lucky that I got to see it!! @horrorpress.com folks keep your eyes out for this nightmare (complimentary)
July 20, 2025 at 12:05 AM
Sweetness was so painful to sit through (complimentary) because you want Rylee to win but she definitely should not win. Excellent writing, great performances, and an incredible blue carpeted bathroom. A+++

Yesterday @fantasiafestival.com I saw The Wailing (2025) and I was deeply uncomfortable the entire time (complementary). I had no idea where it was going, I gasped out loud, I was very sad when it ended.

I'll be hanging around @fantasiafestival.com for @horrorpress.com for the next few weeks. if you spot me, say hi!
