One thing I like about writing horror criticism is that a lot of critics are super dismissive about these movies. Not me! It's easy to get me to go on your ride with you, and I definitely went on a ride with all of the articles linked in this thread.
Lemme share some links to some horror essays I've written. Lots of websites I worked for have folded so most of these are through the great @manorhq.com #1 Why Haven't You Checked the Children about When A Stranger Calls, a great companion to my Scream zine. manorvellum.medium.com/why-havent-y...

Excellent take! My angle on it was the nature of industrial accidents not as big dramatic crises but as the slow accumulation of tiny, preventable mistakes—basically this film is Bhopal as a farce—but I love how thematically rich this movie is!

After I am done with my #CreepshowLive rewatch, I will be doing one on the comic series. And will also be ranking all of the episodes.

This show means a lot to me.
This is #CreepshowLive I am rewatching each episode and special in honor of the incredible Bluray boxset that released on this past Tuesday.

Keeping this as spoiler free as possible, but celebratory.

Certain scenes and communities come with a certain amount of useless tree stumps that you’re just expected to deal with and endure, just because “well, they’ve always been here.” Nearly eight years into this gig, I feel like I’ve done enough of that.

Only a few authors out there I’ll seek out every single word they write: @joerlansdale.bsky.social, @blacktopkid.bsky.social, @almakatsu.bsky.social, @premeemohamed.com, @chuckwendig.bsky.social are on that list, as is @gabino.bsky.social. What do they have in common?

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

This was the closest I've ever come to automatic writing. This piece. This piece is everything to me.
Just wrote about this book. It flowed out of me in ways that rarely happens. Hope eyes will see it. Thank you @stephenking.bsky.social for this story.

Need this book.
It’s here! Highly recommended- lovely mostly unseen pictures, genuinely insightful new interviews, generous coverage to all Wings eras. 5⭐️

Absolutely love this photo. Used to imagine this would be me and my wife and kids (not being a musician or famous)

Life didn't work out that way. I could have easily had it, but I chose to move to California instead of staying in Michigan.
