But what even is this track list? It’s as familiar to me as the alien language from Arrival.

I spoke with John Lithgow and Geoffrey Rush for Dread Central’s digital cover story and used ‘What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?’ for its design reference. I’ve been having so much fun with these: tinyurl.com/336udwah

THE RULE OF JENNY PEN is ‘Whatever Happened to Baby Jane’ by way of ‘Grumpy Old Men’ and it’s just as frightening and funny as you’d expect from those two touchstones. It gets an easy four stars from me. The film is out next month via @shudder.com and @ifcfilms.bsky.social 👶🏻

My review of THE SUBSTANCE is featured in Demi Moore’s awards season campaign, and I couldn’t be gayer—I mean, prouder🧪

I can’t believe it’s been 21 years and we still don’t know what happened to them. It’s so important not to underestimate nature, and to always be prepared while hiking or camping. 💕

I recorded a live episode of my podcast on the topic of cancelled/unrealized Blair Witch Projects for SoHo Horror Fest 🌲

📹 Did you know there was once a TV series in the works at Lionsgate? We’ve been robbed.

This was my first year as a professional music critic, and I’m psyched to cap it off by contributing to the iconic @exclaimdotca.bsky.social 50 Best Albums of the Year list. For it, I had the chance to highlight Magdalena Bay’s Imaginal Disk, which landed at #15. The full piece: tinyurl.com/bdhjf3kn

Thank you to @exclaimdotca.bsky.social for letting me preach about my favourite track of the year in their Best Songs of 2024 roundup. Here’s what I wrote about the criminally underrated “Angel of My Dreams” by JADE 🪽

I’m looking for horror audiobook recommendations! The weirder and scarier the better. Here are some recent listens I’ve enjoyed. Any suggestions?

NOSFERATU will feed your 90s big-budget goth insanity needs with its SLEEPY HOLLOW / DRACULA 1992 sexy nonsense. It’s okay to admit you’re hungry.

Don’t ask, but I just watched the 2011 Terrifier short film on Tubi. On a technical level, it’s worse than you’re imagining. But if you squint just a little, there’s a vision here—an uncanny, weird little vision that’s more nightmarish and alive than most big-budget horror movies.

You’ve been kidnapped! The characters from the last TV show you watched are planning a rescue. Who’s coming to save you?
