@monstersamerica This is really interesting to me given A24's penchant for folk horror. I've thought of F13 as having folk horror elements, and it'll be really cool if they develop that aspect in the series.

@face_of_gothic That's a fair review. I still love it so much, though. There's a fan edit floating around the Internet called "Legion," which is cut to be more like the novel. If you can find that version it improves things significantly.

@disaster_march I live in a condo so it's very important that I avoid the neighbors.

[Dr. Jeff "Castlevania" Tolbert @JeffreyATolbert]

@disaster_march I wait until I get inside. That's where all my stuff lives.

@Notorious_RSG The bad guys only say they're the bad guys in the movies.

@AnnieOne23 @craigengler @Shudder Noroi is fantastic. An underrated gem. @shiraishikouji needs more love in the US.

[Dr. Jeff "Castlevania" Tolbert @JeffreyATolbert]

@TravisStevens @DaveRapoza maybe?

@devingarofalo That sounds awesome! I'm teaching a course on monsters and the supernatural, and another on American horror films. But oddly (foolishly?), I'm not teaching Dracula in either, & I regret it!

[Dr. Jeff "Castlevania" Tolbert @JeffreyATolbert]

@devingarofalo It's so fucking good! What class is this?

[Dr. Jeff "Castlevania" Tolbert @JeffreyATolbert]

@AncientAliens It's not unexplained, and you're doing racist, anti-scientific work by claiming otherwise. Stop it.

@DSAArchaeology Dooooooo itttttttttttt

[Dr. Jeff "Castlevania" Tolbert @JeffreyATolbert]

@CraigyBoyT @baconetti Welp, it is folk horror, and I am writing about it as such. Unfortunately I'm doing so in my own book. :( But thanks for the thought!

[Dr. Jeff "Castlevania" Tolbert @JeffreyATolbert]

@ToyGalaxyTV Wicked. Seen this, @DinosaurDracula?

[Dr. Jeff "Castlevania" Tolbert @JeffreyATolbert]

@JonathanJanz Yeah, that's a great one. Feel like it hasn't gotten the love it deserves.

[Dr. Jeff "Castlevania" Tolbert @JeffreyATolbert]

@ArchaeologyGame Dude, feel confident. Your work is awesome.
