God bless T.K. Carter (1956-2026), one of the few major contributors to John Carpenter's THE THING that I never got to interview (tho we had a highly memorable exchange of emails!) He was always fun to watch and seemed quite a character. Vale, T.K. #rip https://t.co/WygY1I6hrz

Just a reminder that there are chapters dedicated solely to two unmade films in my forthcoming book, BRINGING DARKNESS INSTEAD OF LIGHT: CONVERSATIONS WITH JOHN CARPENTER, as well as a third that discusses other legendary films that never saw the light of a projector. #horror

"It could look like someone you know, or it could be a stranger in a crowd. Whatever helps it get close to you..." A terrific alternative poster for David Robert Mitchell's 2014 horror film, IT FOLLOWS, designed by Creepy Duck Design. #horror #art #movies

John Carpenter's 1995 remake of VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED is awesome. End of tweet. #horror

"Saint Nicholas is not coming this year. Instead, a much darker, ancient spirit. His name is Krampus. He and his helpers did not come to give, but to take..." A wonderful alternative poster for Michael Dougherty's 2015 horror film, KRAMPUS, by Mark Button. #horror #christmas

"You may think this all strange nonsense; it may be strange, but it is true, and the ancients knew what lifting the veil means. They called it seeing the god Pan." - Arthur Machen, THE GREAT GOD PAN (1894). Art: THE HORNED GUARDIAN (2016) by Cristi Balanescu. #horror

Santa brought me the Blu-ray of Joe Dante & Jon Davison's 1968 megamix masterpiece, THE MOVIE ORGY. A writer recently averred that with this epic mash-up, Joe simultaneously invented supercuts and binge watching decades ago. Having watched it some years ago, I say this be truth!

"Wouldst thou like the taste of butter? A pretty dress? Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?" A wicked alternative poster for Robert Eggers's THE WITCH (2015) by Ella Geida. #horror #horrormovies

“I met this six-year-old child with this blank, pale, emotionless face, and the blackest eyes. The Devil's eyes. I realised that what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply evil.” An alternative poster for John Carpenter’s HALLOWEEN (1978) by Ryan Button. #horror

“THEY LIVE is not a horror film. It’s a science fiction political satire. The film poses the question of what would happen if the Reagan revolution was run by aliens from another planet.” John Carpenter, speaking to FANGORIA in 1988. Art by Jason Edmiston.

"They're multiplying too rapidly!" A rare behind the scenes image - taken on the set of the George A. Romero classic DAWN OF THE DEAD (1979) in the early hours - of a group of zombie extras relaxing between setups. Photograph by Richard Burke. #horror #horrormovies

"Ferrara... finds the right note in scene after scene. There is horror here, especially in the gruesome scenes that show us how the pods go about their sneaky business, but there is also ordinary human emotion... Most important... there are scenes of genuine terror." Roger Ebert

I was fortunate enough to interview Donald Moffat back in 2009 about his experiences working on John Carpenter's THE THING. It was a warm and wonderful encounter, as well as a deeply informative one, and I shall treasure the memory of it for as long as I'm able. Lovely man. #rip

"Fear is instinctive. I’ll be honest with you, I don’t know where it comes from - from deep inside - from when I was a child, from that long hall I had to walk down at home to get to my bedroom." - Dario Argento #horror
