Went apple picking today & somehow got the most Halloweenish photo that has nothing overtly Halloween about it.

I understand some commenters’ pov & generally agree with not forcing animals into clothes. I would never make a dog wear anything it hated.

I’m a bit less understanding of ppl who presume based on 1 photo to know my dog’s body language better than I do.
Anyway for those saying she looks unhappy:

6 days until I present in my 1st #horrorstudies symposium! The support of the v cool @momoshaty.bsky.social—who didn’t know me from Adam but apparently decided I had worthwhile things to say—has been huge in me getting words out there. @nighttidemag.bsky.social is a great platform, & going places!

There are very few famous people I’ll ask for a picture with, but Bob Mould is one.

Excited to give a talk at the virtual #horrorstudies symposium facilitated by the fabulous @nighttidemag.bsky.social! You’ll never guess what my presentation is about…

When your face is too hot so you turn it away from the sun & give mom & dad momentary panic that you broke your neck.

Probably my best 4th of July memory has nothing to do with murica it was that time I met Frankenstein

The problem is not that the shark in Jaws looks fake. The shark in Jaws looks real. The problem is that real sharks look fake.

You can’t tell me this doesn’t look like a toy.

On to pt. 2. I realize that opening shot starting off in the burbs comes as a surprise to us today than it would have been at the time.

Sitting down for part 1. It’s gonna be a long night.
Was Camp Crystal Lake a Christian camp back in the ‘50s? What’s with the hymn?

🧵for my Friday the 13th marathon attempt. For the record, this is my ranking as of today. Other data: the first one I saw was Jason Takes Manhattan. The first I saw in theaters was Freddy vs. Jason. My favorite Jason is Kane Hodder.

Thanks to the power of professional photography & judicious cropping, I finally have an author photo that makes me look appropriately writerly & minimally like a doofus.
Spouse (regrettably) cropped out.

A historic moment: March 13, 2020, the last time I thought “conspiracy theorist” was a cute, politically neutral thing.

Here’s 40 great but somewhat lesser known #horror films directed by women because any day is a great one to celebrate female filmmakers but especially #internationalwomensday

#WomenInHorrorMonth: A woman invented the monster movie. The Lost World, the first SFX-heavy full-length creature feature, turns 100 this year & was written by Marion Fairfax.

Bonus fact: she was a native of Richmond VA. #2up2down
