Final Draft users: I can’t get FD on my ipad to sync - that sync symbol does nothing when I hit it.

Any ideas?

My October 2025 viewing list. Goal as always is 31, but travel (including overseas travel) is probably going to make that impossible this year. But I’ll try!

Of all the VHS horrors that haunted my dreams as a kid this one unnerved me the most.

Finally watched it a few years ago and guess what? ZERO INSIDE-OUT MEN.
The cover of screamers which has the blurb “they’re men turned inside out and worse they’re still alive”

Ever wonder how many cigarettes are smoked in NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD? No? You must be normal then. The answer is 15, surprisingly few for a 1968 film. But what does that *mean*?

Find out (plus 80 billion other things) in PARTIALLY DEVOURED, coming March 10, 2026.
