Downplay a book or movie: Relief Catcher in the Rye Prince Kong

I have a three-minute video of a praying mantis taking a leisurely stroll over my head. I’d post it, except it glaringly shows how thin my hair now is.

Some upcoming travel reading. Too optimistic? 💙📚 #booksky

Decided on a rewatch after reading Josh Malerman’s excellent memoir Watching Evil Dead: Unearthing the Radiant Artist Within. It’s a lovely read, all the more remarkable for being an ode to artistic imagination that revolves around such a gory, balls-to-the-wall horror classic. boxd.it/fq9LBF

A ★★★★★ review of The Evil Dead (1981)Decided on a rewatch after reading Josh Malerman’s excellent memoir Watching Evil Dead: Unearthing the Radiant Artist Within. It’s a lovely, sensitive read, all the more remarkable for being an ode to...boxd.it

BOOK #30, 2026 FERAL AND HYSTERICAL, Sadie Hartmann (2025) A fantastic book of recommendations of horror novels written by women. Sadie Hoffman—better known as Mother Horror on the sosh meeds—she KNOWS her horror, and her passion for the subject comes through in every entry. 💙📚

For a movie set in a small spaceship, there are WAY too many handguns and grenades. boxd.it/1soc

It! The Terror from Beyond Space (1958)The first manned expedition to Mars is invaded by an unknown life form, which stows away on the rescue ship.boxd.it

The Hammer QUATERMASS films are inarguably (imo) the best films they ever made, whole LEAGUES more interesting than most of their Dracula/Frankenstein flicks. If Quatermass had been played by Cushing or Lee, I bet this series would be far more appreciated. 🎥 #filmsky #moviesky boxd.it/fgZ7Qz

Great monster flick by the B-movie master Larry Cohen.

BOOK #29, 2026 A PERFECT SPY, John le Carré (1986) 💙📚

Has any movie series had such a tonal switch per flick than the original EVIL DEADs? The Evil Dead: pure, nihilistic horror. Evil Dead 2: repeat the original, add puns, inside jokes, Three Stooges-level slapstick. Army of Darkness: fuck it, it’s Monty Python and the Necrocomicon. Other examples?

BOOK #28, 2026 THE OCTOBER FILM HAUNT, Michael Wehunt (2025) Consider this one “David Lynch in book form.” There’s been a spate of “haunted/cursed movie” novels lately, and Wehunt’s entry surely belongs in the category of “Most Dreadful” (in the most positive interpretation of that phrase).

Some people go their whole lives without witnessing something this beautiful…
