Great essay by @MikeThornWrites on new books by Stephen King and Peter Straub and Raymond Thoss - novels that "use literary horror both to explore our world’s widespread evils and to imagine other ways of being." #PeterStraub #StephenKing #RaymondThoss #Ligotti #horror

I wrote about multiversal narrative, evil, and dark literature's allegorical potential in The Rebellion Against the Conspiracy Against the Human Race and Other Worlds Than These.

Jessica Rothe (HAPPY DEATH DAY) and Cooper Tomlinson (OBSESSION) are set to star in SEEKER, a new mystery horror film from director Adam Rehmeier (DINNER IN AMERICA).

The story follows a man who suspects his rideshare passenger is behind his fiancée's disappearance.

Production is set to begin in Washington State in January 2027.

Does this one sound like your kind of horror?

We're currently recording and releasing a series of podcasts about Agatha Christie's mysteries (& the ways they veer into gothic and horror) - but here's something from 10 years ago about the Agatha Christie revival (definitely still ongoing) - and what might explain it. I use the brilliant 2015 BBC adaptation of AND THEN THERE WERE NONE to illustrate what appealed then - and still appeals - about Christie's work. #AgathaChristie

"They should have gone to Vegas"
October 2026 is the 10 year anniversary of The Ritual film shoot.
This month, one decade ago, I had my set visit in the Carpathians, Transylvania, Romania.
A time of magical transformation.
Halloween is when I re-watch the film & reminisce.

It's the 30th anniversary of SCREAM this year, and so we're featuring coverage of the franchise. Here, Jaymen Neff-Strickland and Shane H. Weathers provide a retrospective of SCREAM 3 (2000), offering an interesting take on what the film does well - and not so well #Scream #Scream3

It's great indeed. I enjoyed Lorcan Finnegan's other movies as well: Vivarium and The Surfer! Deeply recommended.

Curry Barker's new horror short - Mama Bear. The only problem with it - it's too short! Loved it…but very elliptical! #MamaBear

What
@horrorhomeroom said very proud of this film

[Horror Homeroom @horrorhomeroom]

I was at the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival last week, seeing some great films & writing review. In part because of that, I'm currently re-watching a film I watched and reviewed at the very first Brooklyn Horror Film Festival in 2016 (how can it have been that long ago??) It's really a wonderful film, not talked about as much as it should be: Lorcan Finnegan's WITHOUT NAME. And it's now, I just found out, streaming on @Shudder I highly recommend it!

An isolated Alaskan hometown. A murdered childhood friend. Birds turning on the people below.

HBO’s ‘THE BIRDS’ gives Sarah Snook a new character and a murder mystery to unravel.

Our special issue on dolls and their houses (https://t.co/nAbQtJTaH3) is chock full of amazing essays. In this featured essay, Alice Sage discusses a fascinating early 1980s British TV series TOTTIE, which she reads as an instance of folk gothic.

"Made by the legendary Smallfilms production duo Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin (best known for The Clangers, 1969 and Bagpuss, 1974), this stop-motion adaptation of Rumer Godden’s 1947 children’s book has become a cult classic with ‘sinister credentials’ (Ricketts)." #Tottie #dolls #dollhouses #horror

Another review from the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival - and this was my favorite of a lot of great films. It's Ryan Glover's SPLIT ROCK - a geological horror that evokes Mark Jenkins' Enys Men and the 1970s TV series Children of the Stones. So, how can you not like it?? It's coming to @Shudder on December 25. #SplitRock #horror
