Just woke up from my routine colonoscopy. My doctor said that they are finding polyps in 50% of patients at age 45. Sure enough they found 4 little ones in me that they removed.

It’s super important to get checked at this age. The prep is really not a big deal. Get checked! ❤️

Like RE:7, Silent Hill f feels authentic to its roots but also completely fresh & exciting. It captures the essence of the series without getting bogged down in the past and has become one of my favouritie entires as a result. My review @bloody-disgusting.com

‘Silent Hill f’ Breathes New Life (and Scares) into the Series [Review]

There’s a lot riding on Silent Hill f. I don’t think it’d be catastrophising to say that the reputation and, perhaps more importantly, the future prospects of a gaming icon hang in the balance here. F...

This is why the term 'elevated horror' exists. It was coined by people who are afraid to admit they liked a horror movie.

Nobody's saying 'elevated comedy' to justify their enjoyment of a comedy.

Horror is not a dirty word.

Doesn’t matter how many great horror movies get made, doesn’t matter how many times they’ve saved the theatrical movie business since Covid…the genre still can’t get any respect. The “it’s not a horror movie” crowd is always there. This includes filmmakers who can’t admit they made a horror movie.

The reason Sinners is so good is that it’s not a horror movie. It is a film about the Black experience, and the immigrant experience in America. It tells the story of marginalized peoples and uses vampires as allegory to tell that story. It is SO much more than a “vampire movie.”

For fans of Silent Hill, I recommend the film that inspired it; Jacob's Ladder.

It's is a creepy, unsettling, and heartbreaking film that will stick with you long after it's over and make you consider not just life, but what it means to die.

This is a wonderful horror film. One of my favorites.

One of my absolutely favourite horror adventure games from the 90s.

For this week's @saferoompod.bsky.social , I made the case for the point and click horrors of Sanitarium, which won us over with its surreal world building and psychological narrative. #Horrorsky

I realize that it’s kind of tough to discuss 3D modelling with a lot of people, since admittedly it can be tough to comprehend some of the concepts. I even say that as someone who’s been now doing it for over a decade. And believe me, some of that stuff was hard to understand.

Replaying the original Silent Hill for the first time in a long time. The creepy atmosphere still holds up after all these years. Don't believe me? Check out my buddy @baronaim.bsky.social's retrospective on the original.
