“Like Los Angeles itself, ‘FLESH OF THE GODS’ inhabits the liminal realm between fantasy & nightmare,”
In “glittering ’80s L.A."

Levels of interest & excitement can not be overstated.
Panos Cosmatos using "liminal" very much adds

CREAMERIE
Maybe the best horror intro to a Dark Comedy?

Obviously ZOMBIELAND is top of list.
What else?

Here’s a new @SPIN article that uses ‘Destroy all Neighbors’ as a nice jumping off point about weird-ass music movies:

Why'd I save a podcast link to:
@1a "HOW HORROR CREATES MEANING"?
So I listened.
- Science of Scare Project
- Body Snatchers & Racial conformity
- Possession & Devine Feminine
- TALK TO ME & Grief
🤘 Real good stuff

Very much enjoying the movie poster for STOPMOTION.

How else are dark & creepy ideas gonna get out of your head?

Are spiders making a comeback?
I'm looking forward to STING because arachnophobia plays well on big screens 🤘

"POOR THINGS fuses all the tools of classic Hollywood filmmaking — grand sets, miniatures, sumptuous costumes"

A good article that makes me want to see more behind the scenes, and process.

@medaglia @StephenKing That bit about Kubrick and a live grenade 🤣

[Michael Medaglia @medaglia.bsky.social @medaglia]

Enjoyed Jenn Wexler’s THE RANGER
A blend of 80s punk movies & 80s slashers

So THE SACRIFICE GAME, a blend of 70s Catholic boarding school girls & a Christmas home invasion sounds fitting for tonight.

@medaglia @J_Wex @HauntedMeg @BDisgusting @Shudder "It’s also helped by a firm commitment to practical effects and bloody demises."
Nice!

The book cover art of CATS by Nick Sharman is wonderfully creepy, and might be enough to get it on the TRL.

Good back story here 👇 by @toomuchhorror

NEW: An Amazon customer ordered a hat. She was sent a vial of scorpion venom instead.

That customer, writer Meagan Day, wanted to find out why.

Her investigation exposed why Amazon is now charged with running an illegal monopoly in a landmark FTC suit.

@medaglia @PasteMagazine "Some define noir as or by a tone, and it’s very much a mood, a sensibility. Noir is a state of mind, of subconscious, a fever dream, an existential crisis."
Nice!

Like me, constantly following my older sibling around.

"The worldbuilding is exquisite"

DIVINITY a retro scifi thriller

H.G. Wells’s story is fantastic.
This moment in history is amazing.

[ElderGladePublishing @ElderGladePub]

The power of storytelling was felt on this day in 1938.
Orson Welles read an adaptation of THE WAR OF THE WORLDS, causing nationwide panic.
