Happy #Pride!
(I still haven't decided if I agree with this theory- I need to watch this again, either way- but I have zero problem with it and it DOES make a lot of sense...)
@KentuckyConjurer@stina_marie@horror@horrorfilm nah they're just goofy buddies. I have watched it a million times. But yeah if people want to think of them as a couple that's fine with me!
Behold, a link where you can download PDFs of issues of Weird Tales- Lovecraft specific stuff from Lovecraft eZine and a bunch of other authors from a few other sources:
They're both so dumb but one is an episode of Supernatural w/ JJ from Criminal Minds and the other is a monster porn paranormal romance starring Michael Trucco. #Horror@horror@horrorfilm
I'll probably get a thinner mat at some so it doesn't cut off as much of the art but I lurve it so much. Also, please ignore my wonky photograph skills...I was trying not to be reflected in the glass 😆.
I think (but don't know for sure) Paramount basically gutted the Shudder human curation crew and spun up Ye Olde Algorithm for programming choice. I really love the idea behind what Shudder is supposed to be, but I've never felt the need to retain a subscription for more than a month at a time, a couple of times a year.
Good ones I see in this list:
Hunter Hunter
Valhalla Rising (although not "horror")
Loop Track
I watched THE FIRST OMEN on #Hulu last night and it was rad. I thoroughly enjoyed it- it's well-done, creepy, disturbing, and surprisingly artful in a lot of its imagery & cinematography.
It also has me pondering a question:
Would the Catholic Church be pro-abortion, if the fetus in question was proven to be the Anti-Christ? 🤔
@stina_marie@horror@horrorfilm I would absolutely love to see a book, film, or TV show tackle that idea as its main plot. It would probably be incredibly controversial though.
@fskornia@horror@horrorfilm I would be curious and interested in any of those, too, but I am 666% sure anything with the premise would never get made... MAYBE a book would.
My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, & spectacular #horror#books far & wide.
💙📚 You may presume you'll know the story that unfolds in I THINK I'M ALONE NOW, but you'll be wrong as hell. I read this novella in a single sitting: Ali Seay has written a thoroughly enjoyable, vivid, violent, deliciously dark chunk o' horror set in the 80's that's, like, totally rad. (Grindhouse Press)
2024 marks the 45th anniversary of sci-fi horror masterpiece Alien, which was released May 25, 1979.
The first time I saw it I was pretty young, it was on TV and censored. We actually had it recorded on a VHS from TV, which is something my family did a lot. I only saw the full uncensored version years later! 😂
I've got some audiobook credits before I cancel my account (just not worth it when the #library is there 🥰). Could someone recommend some good audiobooks?
What I am looking for:
✔️Cozy mysteries or cozy horror
✔️If romance, nothing 🌶️ because I can't listen to sex scenes being narrated to me without giggling like a middle schooler.
✔️Female main character = bonus
✔️POC protagonist = bonus
✔️YA or New Adult recs okay
A year or so later, I got it as an Audiobook and am amazed at the level of depth and understanding of the characters, the setting of 1900 New York City, and the writer's ability to get inside the minds of a Jinni, a creature of Fire born in the desert, and the Golem, a creature of clay built to serve her master, able to read minds and desires of those around her with the strength of 10 men.
I'm excited to learn there's a sequel. Thanks for that.
@mvilain@SallyStrange@himantra@bookstodon@horror Yes! Both The Golem and the Jinni, and its sequel are wonderful "Must Own The Print Copy" books for me. The stories deal with some tough subjects at times, but with so much compassion that they are a pleasure to read.
Eight-year-old Bela is the only child in a dysfunctional family full of secrets. Bela has also been keeping her own secret from Mommy and Daddo. She's been talking to an entity that hides in her closet. Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman brought back all of my childhood nightmares. I had to step away from this book more than once because it was scaring me. My review is posted at https://wellwortharead.blogspot.com/2024/05/incidents-around-house-by-josh-malerman.html#horror@horror@horrorbooks
@Well_Worth_A_Read@horror@horrorbooks I am not happy about it triggering night terrors in you but this is a good sign I may actually find it scary so I appreciate this info 😆
