I'm watching a 1989 Skinemax vampire movie I thought was the height of sexiness and romance in high school and, holy shit, the love interest has the most ridiculous mullet. Like, straight-up Nic Cage Con Air hair but w/ teased bangs. I keep getting the giggles 😆
Day 4 of the AMOLM virtual tour, and the wonderful YA Books Central has an interview with me (and giveaway of a copy of A Misfortune of Lake Monsters)!
I loathed The Lodge but thought Goodnight Mommy did a good job of being tense AF. I hope they do way better adapting this than Shyamalan did with Paul's last film.
My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, & spectacular #horror#books far & wide.
TELEPORTASM is the latest (#3) in Shortwave Publishing's Killer VHS series. Joshua Millican contributes a fun tale that pays homage to the gory, glorious films of the 80's/90's with a fresh, modern take on body horror & cursed media- tapes that offer trips that tantalize and torment, with no cure for their lure.
8 days til pub day, the AMOLM virtual tour has begun, & I'm starting to organize all the book swag in my house for the onslaught of upcoming in-person events.

#Tubi is getting rid of the Masters of Horror episodes in 7 days so... apparently I now have a week to re-watch them. Now it's an exciting and frenetic game to see how many I actually get to revisit before time runs out 😆🙃
So far I've watched 3: Cigarette Burns, Sick Girl, and Pro-Life. I think I'll be able to watch at least 5 more before they leave 🤞🏼
The next book I’m reading during Pride Month is All Things Seen and Unseen by RJ McDaniel. I borrowed it from the Queer Liberation Library because I wanted someone I could read while on the go.
Google cannot seem to give me a straight answer about what actual day Midsommar is, other than to say that this year, it "traditionally" falls on a different day (either the 23rd or 24th) than the astronomical solstice did (the 21st.)
So here, enjoy my meme today because it's already fucking hot and she looks like I feel

THE TRUEST SENSE showcases Laura Keating's unique & deftly scary stories: some sneak up quietly- some gleefully go full-throttle into nightmares- but all 15 tales are atmospheric & vivid, with an aura of permeating horror that provides an imaginative, satisfying journey into the Weird.
Damn, I ran through the Screams 1-4 over the past couple of days. Never gave any of the films much attention in years past, and I dug this round of watches. It’s potentially one of the only franchises I've ever seen that doesn't get worse, and that’s probably because of Craven and Williamson's involvement in each film, but wow, just wow.
📣 🚨 PSA for anyone who didn't know/realize: this is a Twilight Zone-esque #horror anthology from the Indonesian director that made IMPETIGORE, SATAN'S SLAVES, & SATAN'S SLAVES: COMMUNION
I've watched one so far & it was entertaining with some cool imagery & creatures. But even if these wind up being uneven and lacking, you DEFINITELY should check out his movies (on #Shudder) because they are FANTASTIC
