The world ending is scary.
The world ending when you have kids? Terrifying.

@paultremblay.bsky.social opens up about how becoming a parent changed the way he writes fear — because now, the stakes are real.

ICYMI! This week on the ETCH CAST — Philip, Morgan, and special guest Joe Dwyer recap their favorite watches of the year — including the unhinged masterpiece known as THE GREASY STRANGLER.

A cult classic. A wild look. An experience you don’t forget.

Guilty pleasures? We’ve got ’em.
Comfort watches? We probably shouldn’t admit them in public.

The latest Etch Cast reveals one unshakable law: if someone hasn’t seen Nothing But Trouble, you STOP EVERYTHING and make them watch it. No explanation.

Dexter. The Godfather. A soundtrack of Volare and the faint hum of a meat slicer. Death is in the air. So is the smell of prosciutto and poor decisions.

🎧 Listen to the chaos unfold in the latest episode of ETCH CAST 👉 Bad Ideas Only. Links below!

Mariana Enriquez didn’t just write intense stories… she lived them. 😈

Smart horror > dumb decisions.

@paultremblay.bsky.social joins Etch Cast to talk Them! (1954), highbrow fear, and why horror’s range is unmatched.

There’s something out there — waiting for the bus, watching the road, screaming back. 😱

Part One of Laird Barron’s FIRST WORD ON HORROR episodes is now streaming free on YouTube.

Every horror origin story has teeth.

For @paultremblay.bsky.social, they belonged to a 25-foot great white. JAWS didn’t just terrify him — it marked him. Bit down hard. Never let go. 🦈🩸

“He’s kept all of the rejection letters he’s received from publishers and he has them in a folder on his shelf.” 📚

ICYMI! In Episode 2 of ETCH CAST, Will shares a behind-the-camera moment with @sgj.bsky.social — a reminder that even legends start with a stack of nos.

Imagine buying a house in New Jersey and finding out it’s Bobby Bacala’s from THE SOPRANOS.

Tour buses. Scandinavian superfans. Murdered-on-this-block lore.

Will Battersby doesn’t have to imagine — he lives it.

Think of this as your reading break.

@lairdbarron.bsky.social’s words linger in the silence, echoing long after the page turns.
