So excited that @pcasacas.bsky.social #pcasacas25 starts today!!!

#TheMonkey was great—delightful & engrossing & well done. Gory as hell. Such good setups & payoffs. Also absurdly hilarious, which made it a joy to watch (the opposite of the experience of watching #Longlegs, tbh). And there is a wonderful, creepy, perfect moment at the end. 5 stars for me. #horror

Started watching Hotel Hell with my boo @bchorror.bsky.social and am delighted to report that so far, Gordon Ramsay has gotten his bare ass out in every episode. 🍑

Tonight’s the night! Can’t believe this event has already sold out—but I’m psyched to talk about all things spooky Victoriana Chrismas! #profsandpints

If spooky Christmas ghost stories sounds like something you’re in to, you might enjoy coming out to my @profsandpints.bsky.social talk in Nashville on Dec 18!

Tonight, @bchorror.bsky.social showed me RUBBER (2010), which was way better than I had heard it described, and which kind of feels like a film made by someone who spent a year immersing themselves in Lacanian theory. #horror #horrorfilm #lacan #criticaltheory #rubber

It was inevitable.

“Hey, what did you get done over Thanksgiving break? Finish an article? Start a new research project?”

No. I painted my porch.

Obligatory “hi, here’s me” post:
