Anyone else heard the new Ethel Cain album? The first track makes me think of THAT SCENE in @paultremblay.bsky.social ’s Horror Movie… Waiting for that jump scare.

It is WILD and weird and I’ve never heard anything like this. Especially after “American Teenager”. Modern Horror Pop?

Been catching up on Best of Horror lists from late last year. Ya'll forgot to put this one in your tippity tops. House of Bone and Rain by @gabino.bsky.social...

A storm of violence & horror that plays with the legacy of a legendary tale by a famously racist writer. Can't stop thinking about it.

What do you do to make it through this season?
