Chaos and Creation in the Backyard | Renfield Collection A lupine creation is constructed under the California sun in this behind-the-scenes pre-pro still from director Joe Dante's The Howling.

My lupine horror comedy The Howling turns 45 years young (!) today. Who here first saw it in theaters? On VHS? Cable?

Celebrate with a fresh still from my Renfield Collection. Custom autographs from yours truly are available upon request!

Saw and loved it at a multiplex in the San Fernando Valley (Northridge?) on a double bill with Excalibur! Thrilling and glorious movies, marvelous memories. Thank you!

MONITOR rips. A devilishly fun, and gnarly slice of horror. Great set pieces and scares, wicked kills, and a potent mythology perfectly attuned to our digital age.

I loved writing this because I love this movie: Places in the Heart. And I love the illustration by @briannaduggan.bsky.social !

Every now and then someone points out that opera and ballet aren't very popular and gets yelled at by people who wish that weren't true.

I’m fascinated by many wildly flummoxed male reviewers twisting themselves into pretzels to explain why they hated THE BRIDE! without outright insulting women, never realizing it wasn’t made for them; Maggie G. sitting nearby and just smiling.

Oh hell yeah, LIFEHACK has a release date (May 15th).

A pulse-pounding Screenlife heist thriller that should put filmmaker Ronan Corrigan's name on everyone's up-and-comer watch list.

Daylight Savings Time not happening during SXSW for once feels like a mini-miracle. Anybody who ever got home at 4am after their midnight movie knows what I’m talking about.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Some great writing from Todd Farmer. Heartbreaking, then inspirational, a call for empathy in a world that doesn't always seem capable of it. And now I'm excited to check out his novels, too!

If you move out of Texas, you become an ex-Texan and thereafter may only refer to it as Teas.

Watching TV for work purposes today, so closed it by watching DTF on HBO and could barely make it β€” like walking through molasses β€” and then a murder? OK. Very slow, probably not for me, bizarre show, but maybe it’ll be more than another Steve Conrad slow burn thing that fizzles.

THE SPOOK WHO SAT BY THE DOOR poster

Caught THE SPOOK WHO SAT BY THE DOOR on the big screen @cstpdx.bsky.social, and it hasn't lost an ounce of its power. New restoration is beautiful. Subversive, funny, easily applicable to today's ICE bs.
