Our deepest condolences to the friends (we count ourselves as one) and family of @ScottWamplerRIP, one of the realist horror dudes to walk this earth. Co-host of @Kingcast19 - he loved movies and talking about movies, and was a genuinely lovely person. What a total shock.

Scott Wampler passed away today. He was my friend, co-host, and partner in crime. I’m still in shock. I don’t know many details, but I know it was sudden and he was with friends.

We've been hacked! If you are getting a bounce back when you send to our @makebelieveseattle address, please bear with us! Someone in Seattle decided it would be super fun to hack all of our stuff and create chaos! Karma is real. And if we find them...

@clarkewolfe A SHINING EXAMPLE is, well, a shining example of how to do horror comedy right. Entertaining, impeccably acted, eerie, meaningful, and @RebekahMcKendry Marnie is excellent! Loved it. My first screening at @makebelieveff was all I’d hoped for and more!
