Very excited that my first narrative film is not only premiering on @shudder.com tomorrow, but that it's also getting so many screenings!! Being a 30-minute film I didn't expect it to get any theatrical play, so the fact that all these venues programmed it to support features is a huge deal to me.🖤
Upcoming screenings for THE OCCUPANT OF THE ROOM, beginning tomorrow with its premiere on @shudder.com as part of annual series THE HAUNTED SEASON (in all their territories!)
Scan through the list to see if it is coming to a theatre near you!

Day 1 #BatMas: Egyptian fruit bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus)🦇🌎🧪

This species is an important seed disperser of many plants – which includes those which produce loquat, figs and dates! The bats can eat anywhere from 50 to 150% of their body weight in fruit per evening!

Some bat species seek shelter during the day in the attics of large, mostly historic buildings within human settlements, even though they forage for insects at night in the dark surrounding countrysid...

The Vale of Mowbray is the most insane prehistoric site in the British Isles. In my opinion 🤔

An 11-mile chain of at least eight southeast / northwest aligned henges (among the largest in Britain), terminating at Britain's 2nd tallest standing stones... 😩

Anyone else ecstatic that the freaking Mercury retrograde is finally over? This one was like being dragged by wild boars through a blackberry thicket. #witchsky #astrology

No one needs it, but I know that some of you relish it. #riffotronic
It's alright. I didn't REALLY need a 25 second fart gag.

Just tap your heels together three times and say, "There's no place like home." Thanks for suffering through that one, #Riffotronic friends.

Kharis, who usually ignores our movies, is all, “WHY ARE YOU WATCHING THIS” #Riffotronic

You're right. Popeye is the best character in this whole movie. Which isn't saying much, but still. #Riffotronic
When's Popeye coming back? #Riffotronic

"There's been an earthquake, and many people have died!" In the underworld. Where they're already dead. I mean, the whole point of this is that Bruce is trying to get OUT of the underworld. #Riffotronic

The shaking camera is making me nauseated. By which I mean way more nauseated than the film had already made me. #Riffotronic

Sergio Leone just got in line to sue this film behind Cubby Broccoli, Bram Stoker, and whoever owns Popeye. #Riffotronic

"Her p*ssy's in this plot, too. She was using it to murder me!" The screenwriting in this film is astonishing. #Riffotronic

This movie relies more on quarries than 1960s Dr. Who. And Dracula is fighting in broad sunlight. #Riffotronic
