If you haven’t gone to the theater to see #Weapons yet, what the hell is wrong with you?! You know how amazing #Barbarian is, right? Don’t watch a trailer. Don’t listen to a review. Just go. Let it wash all over you. Best horror film of 2025 so far.

Arguable the best #horror trailer ever produced, 28 Years Later has produced mixed results. Hear Jay and I battle it out in this latest episode of Dead Man STILL Walking—and then head over to Undead Symphony on Instagram to hear their take!

One of the best #zombie movies from last year, Die Alone sees Carrie-Anne Moss’s return to the subgenre (since Fido), and she does a great job in this eco-zombie film with a cool, twisty plot. Take a listen and learn why I like it so much!

I am SUPER excited to be helming a new series of academic books on UNfaithful adaptations of well known text systems. A Frankenstein collection is underway, followed by one one Jekyll and Hyde. Please share widely and consider proposing a monograph or collection!

The regular zombie-movie-love of Dead Man STILL Walking is back! Here’s a pretty new, Spanish #zombie movie, one based on the first book of a series, Apocalypse Z. Some cool sequences with a motorcycle and a boat. Plus, you know, zombies. #zombiepodcast

Aaaaaand Season 2 of The Last of Us ends with some carnage and tragic deaths, but not enough heart. :/ It does transition to Season 3, but not everyone will be sticking around for that. . . .

Season 2, Episode 5, of The Last of Us—“The Price”—is a bittersweet, episode-long flashback. It’s well structured and finely acted, but see what you think!

More exciting coverage of The Last of Us Season 2 with me and Jay of the Dead! It’s an uneven season, but episode 5, “Feel Her Love” has some creepy cult stuff in it. Take a listen!

The Last of Us: Season 3, Episode 4, “Day One.” Our avenging duo make it to Seattle where they, initially, do very little. Elle does play some guitar, though!

Man! I forgot to keep posting links to my The Last of Us coverage with Jay of the Dead. (I secretly really bad at social media.) So here comes some episode dumping, starting with the apocalyptic roadtrip that is Season 2, Episode 3, “The Path.”

The University of Heidelberg was so kind to bring me to town just to talk about #zombies for a couple of hours. I discussed the parallel attitudes toward government and authority in both zombie narratives and the United States today. It was so fun!

PROOFS! Kind of a pain, but oh-so-sweet as the last step of a long journey (over five years for this gem). So excited to see the first issue of American Gothic Studies! @ssag.bsky.social @cypheractive.bsky.social

So apparently when I read for fun, I just alternate between @sgj.bsky.social and @paultremblay.bsky.social.
This is a very good thing.
Zombies + wrestlers + soccer moms + grandmas + baked goods = a helluva good time in Zombie Bake-Off! Oh—and there’re also donuts, swords, and a Zamboni!

Season 2, episode 2 of #TheLastofUs is a masterpiece of #zombie dread, terror, and action, but it also really hits you where you live. This is great #horror television, folks! Hear me and Jay break it down!

Dead Man STILL Walking double feature! These two flicks—I Drink Your Blood and I Eat Your Flesh—were originally exhibited together, so I discuss them in tandem. They don’t do well at the “Is It a Zombie” game, but give it a listen!

I give you the TRUE “One Cut of the Dead”—the French #zombie film #MADS. Very cool production concept here, but also some great zombie action and gripping characters. One of the better Z-films of 2024!

Years ago, I theorized that two #horror #monsters just didn’t work in writing: #zombies and #slashers. Many fine writers have proven me wrong on the first count, and now @sgj.bsky.social has REALLY proved me wrong on the second. Wow. Slasher lore plus REDACTED! This novel does NOT disappoint!

I keep forgetting to share my new episodes of Dead Man STILL Walking! Here’s my luke-warm analysis of a one-note #zombie comedy. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies does have its moments, though—like its great casting! (And use of flies.)

I quite enjoyed War of the Rohirrim, even though it hits too many plot beats from The Two Towers, and I just LOVED Héra! She kills Wulf with a yonic symbol instead of a phallic one! Take that, Anduril!
