Reminder: proposals for the Southern Gothic Area at #PCASACAS26 looms near--proposals are due by June 15! (Late submissions will be considered on a case by case basis.) It looks like it's going to be a ripper of a lineup--we'd love to see you there!

We attended the so-called SATAN’S WORKSHOP to learn all about the new show that Joe Bob Briggs will be hosting following the conclusion of THE LAST DRIVE-IN on Shudder. Here are our findings. https://t.co/PbS0JMgawp

@TuskTreasures It really really really is.

Bracing myself for the glut of conference papers on #Backrooms from the Object Oriented Ontology folks and from the Deluzians. (I’m not mad about it.) #horror #academia #horrorscholar #criticaltheory

Hell House LLC. (Which initially autocorrected to He’ll House, which is a whole different movie.)

[Matt Rife @mattrife]

Scariest movie you’ve ever seen. GO👇🏼

I’ll go first. Exorcism of Emily Rose. Genuinely terrifies me and makes me feel so spiritually uncomfortable.

[Stephanie Graves 🪦 @painsthee]

Road House and Bull Durham are both perfect films.

What's a "low-brow" movie you consider to be perfect

On 6/24 I'll be giving a @profsandpints talk on Camp as a style!

Expect a deep dive into dandyism & Oscar Wilde, ballroom culture, queer resilience, drag performance, John Waters, & a rant about the 2019 Met Gala's misunderstanding about what Camp is.

Just saw a bumper sticker that said, “you don’t hate mondays, you hate capitalism,” and I really felt that deep in my bones.

[Stephanie Graves 🪦 @painsthee]

I wanted to love the sequel as much as I loved the first one, but it lacks the insight and social critique of the original: https://t.co/3bPMlrNWfV

Nightmare on Elm Street 3 is the queer film in the series; NOES2 is just homophobic.

Dear #HorrorCommunity, Tell me your Hot takes on the Nightmare on Elm Street Franchise.

I saw the #FacesofDeath adaptation & I had a lot of feelings...

[John @Fadingarcader]

Yeah, @Shudder, I'm going to miss The Last Drive-In more. So keep you Tales and your "Originals" and I'll follow wherever @therealjoebob and @kinky_horror go.

[Stephanie Graves 🪦 @painsthee]

I saw some reviews on @letterboxd saying #MotherMary isn’t a lesbian film, and y’all, it can still be a lesbian film without scissoring.

Also, there was METAPHORICAL SCISSORING.
(Trust, it’s a lesbian film.)

[Joe Bob Briggs @therealjoebob]

Come get crazy with us tonight as we celebrate Walpurgisnacht one week early. We don't just do Witches Night, we do Witches WEEK. That's how much @kinky_horror loves witches, and that's how much I love KILLING witches! 9 Eastern/6 Pacific on @Shudder.

[Joe Bob Briggs @therealjoebob]

Be there. I mean it. This Friday. 9pm Eastern/6 Pacific. And have your Walpurgisnacht alcohol ready for WITCHES NIGHT.
