I love this movie so hard & not enough horror fans have seen it. I'd also argue that--while it's definitely gory--being a Clive story, it's interesting gore w/ a narrative purpose. The goal isn't to try to make you barf or go to therapy.
Currently watching the unrated director's cut of The Midnight Meat Train (2008) on Vudu. I always forget the 00's were the Blue Filter era of filmmaking.
Rewatching Belzebuth (2017) on Shudder. It still has one of the most jaw-dropping opening sequences I've seen in a horror movie. I was kind of in shock the first time around.
@ElizabethLeeCo@horror this one was a profound experience for 11 year old me. It hit different when you were a kid and knew all the BBC hosts from other shows and didn't particularly understand what was happening 🤣
@MevsMatze A deceptively bucolic rural setting offset by more modern or urban protagonists (who are often troubled by their "modern" problems). The horror is rooted in an expression of ancient tradition. Classic examples would be Wicker Man and Midsommar.
Morning #HorrorFam! I made a thing! and it's for you, AND I need your help.
Sunday Morning Horror News! It pulls from the RSS feeds of horror writer and publisher blogs to make a nice list for you to read and your pace, not the pace of social media.
Check it out! and let me know what blogs I should add! The starting list is small, but I am going to always be adding things!
@jake@horror This is great! I don't envy you, this is quite the undertaking, but what a brilliant, helpful, convenient idea.
Do you want to include open calls?
I can send you any I see online, whenever I remember 😁 I can also send you any other authors with blogs I see as I stumble upon them, if you want. Most of my interaction is on Bluesky and I follow many, many indie authors and publishers.
@stina_marie@horror I did think about that. I think for now, just the blogs. I see it as a way to try to read about releases and upcoming events, etc,
We have a few places that collect the open calls already like the submission grinder and Gwen Kiste’s blog that I’m not I want to jump into that sort of thing.
THAT SAID, if those posts are on blogs I don’t have, then we should add them! Those calls will show up in the list as they post them.
A fascinatingly scary story where the cats are completely FINE.
The author is having problems w/ people pirating this book which is taking $ away from caring for her own cats--so please consider taking a look. I really enjoyed it 🤓
