EVIL DEAD TRAP (1988) is free on YT. A Japanese Slasher film that has an overwhelming atmosphere of darkness & dread. Tremendously atmospheric & creepy with some extreme gore. Like a combination of SAW, The French Extreme, Giallos & Slashers. Weak ending but worth the ride.

I'm very thankful Marenghi has included a map, otherwise I'd be completely lost.

Garth... I mean, "Nick" has a terrifying battle of psychic powers with a telekinetic dog. This is one of the scariest books I've ever read.

Marenghi has still got it. The man knows how to write masterful Horrors that chill the blood. This book is terrifying me to my core.

...Now they got me re-watching DEEP RED (1975) for about the 10th time & it's still my favorite Argento Giallo. I love the macabre atmosphere, the gore & the score. I was lucky enough to watch GOBLIN score this film live & it was transcendental. #Horror #FilmSky

Listen, No one can ever top Mario Bava's imagery. SUSPIRIA only comes close. Bava is the master. #TeamBava #BattleForTheBlackGlove #TheLastDriveIn #MutantFam

Listen, the *real* answer of who is The King of Giallo is a conversation nobody is ready to have yet... but I'm TEAM BAVA

DARIO VS MARIO?! It's a total goddamn bloodbath - THE ANSWER IS MARIO! The Man literally made the first Giallo ever (The Girl Who Knew Too Much)!! Are you kidding me?! Argento popularized & simplified it! #TheLastDriveIn #JoeBobBriggs #Shudder @shudder.com @therealjoebob123.bsky.social

I've always loved the spooky artwork in Argento's Gallery of Murder. One of his first great tableau. I'd buy those pieces. #TheLastdriveIn #TheMutantFam #Giallo #Shudder #JoeBobBriggs

I've seen Argento's BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE (1970) several times, but it will be fun to watch it with Joe Bob. #TheLastdriveIn #TheMutantFam #Giallo #Shudder

Growing up in the '80s gave me an overwhelming attraction to the complex, wacky women with complex, wacky, short hair archetype. Huge, wacky glasses are a plus.

TRAUMATIKA (2025) comes across like EVIL DEAD meets New French Extremity. Genuinely disturbing, nasty & legit scary, but rather silly & confused at points. Regardless, this film is full of shocking images. #FilmSky #Horror

I understand the complaints, but I enjoyed SHELBY OAKS (2025) more than most. Felt like an ersatz SILENT HILL to me. Not really a fully formed script, but Stuckmann creates great visuals & a strong atmosphere. Camille Sullivan is excellent & really gives her all. Bad ending. #FilmSky #Horror

*Of course* it's a city away and on a night I have to work, but it's OK, I've seen them before.
