I feel like horror Twitter actually did a good job of not ruining Barbarian for everyone who wasn't able to see it and that's pretty cool. Let's keep doing that.
There is a documentary hitting Sundance called The Most Beautiful Boy in the World about Björn Andrésen, who was cast in Death in Venice because he was so beautiful. Well TIL that that boy grew up to be Dan in Midsommar.
People seem mixed on the 2014 Godzilla but what I think it does better than any of the other Monsterverse entries is focus on how massive Godzilla is by framing everything from a human perspective. It makes Godzilla awe-inspiring because the camera is at human level.
Last Night in Soho is now out on UHD/BR! To celebrate, I was given the opportunity to do a giveaway! I have a copy of the movie on Blu Ray and the vinyl album! Follow, RT and like this tweet by end of day January 26 and I'll choose a winner! US Only.
Y'all. Horror Twitter and particularly Horror Film Twitter is full of the best people. It's so great seeing everyone support everyone else and I hope I can return the favor someday.
Dear horror community, movies have been prepping us for years for this quarantine.
DON'T GO IN THE WOODS
DON'T GO NEAR THE PARK
DON'T LET THEM IN
DON'T FUCK IN THE WOODS
DON'T LEAVE HOME

2019. There's just one more article. One that was very difficult for me to write. Please give it a read.
The fact that Contagion, Outbreak and other virus-themed movies are trending on streaming sites proves that we use horror to contextualize and deal with real life horror.
Now that he's won, if you aren't familiar with his work:
Check out Okja on
@netflix
Enjoy The Host on
@Tubi
And love Snowpiercer also on
@Netflix
.
Educate yourself if you're curious. And welcome to some fabulous films.
I think it's gauche to promote work in this way, but I'm gonna do it anyway. If you support the LGBTQ horror community and are able to donate, there will be a month-long fundraiser for the Trevor Project launching the first of June in concert with Pride Month.
I'm not that fussed about seeing another version of The Thing.
I'd much rather see time and money go into releasing the 2011 prequel with the original practical FX reinstated.
Y'know, 'cos that's what the fans have been asking for.
@Scholastic
Yeah how about the third option & you speak up against the laws you mention in the post? How about you make that little closeted queer kid feel seen at a time when they need it the most? Signed, a 40 year old gay man who didn't come out until he was 30 b/c he didn't feel welcome.
And here we go. It's time for Pride Month 2019. Here are the deets, including writers, a
@shudder
code for 30 days free and, most importantly, a fundraiser. We need your help. Read, share, donate and RT.

Got tracking notification from some printing company that was 8 lbs in weight and I'm like wtf is this? Showed up today and it's the Friday the 13th boxset! So if you get a notification from Clark & Riggs Printing it's that!
I hear people asking what they can do to help their favorite podcast. And, especially for smaller podcasts, engagement in a number of ways help tremendously.
With that in mind, three things you can do to help your favorite podcast, a thread:
Maybe the reason it "feels" more subtle back then is that you didn't have the internet where a filmmaker could easily and accessibly talk to people about their intent. But that intent was there.
My goal is to be a place where anyone who is LGBTQ+ can feel safe pitching ideas, hosting articles and having their voices promoted. Gayly Dreadful began as a selfish means of keeping my writing but it has become so much more. And I want it to be even bigger.
I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know why you (or people in general) follow me. I'm trying to be the best person I can be and support people who are doing the same. I'm going to fuck up. But I hope you know that I am trying to support people who make the horror community safe
Scream 2 is a greek tragedy about PTSD. It requires the first movie but it's actually a more interesting film than the first with a lot of metaphor and grand guginol excess.
[Pride 2019] Let's start Pride 2019 strong with our first article, where
@sick__66
discusses the importance of Hellraiser and its examination of sexuality
#GaylyHelpful
People fuck up. They need to own up to it and use the experience to change. That's what life is about. And if I see any one of you making jokes about the trauma that happened tonight, I will block you so fast. Be kind to each other. It's the only thing we got in this world.
You know, if the
@netflix
way ahead is three seasons and then cancel, then they should have the compassion for the creators and their audience that they finish the show and not just drop it. I'm distraught over Santa Clarita Diet
As a fat gay man, I will never let this go. The number of queer-owned stores, online or local, that I can’t shop at because I’m overweight makes this a thing I will never forget.
Since it's Friday the 13th, it only makes sense to introduce my new logo designed by
@brendohales
! A new interpretation of my OG logo that launched my site a little over three years ago! I love it Brendan!!
Well this is a pretty cool thing to see on my birthday. My piece "Tethered to the Closet" was recommended for a Bram Stoker Award for Short Non Fiction. Beyond surprised and humbled.
Do you know how hard it's been not to talk about this?
@mbmcandrews
and I recorded a commentary for this film and I cannot wait for it to be out in the wild.
I'm creating a list of LGBTQ+ Alt-rock/pop/punk/etc artists and want some suggestions. People like King Princess, The Japanese House, Kiddy Smile, Chaz Cardigan, Amythyst Kiah, Rina Sawayama, etc. Who is an artist and a song I must know about!
@TracedThurman
@bstolemyremote
@bradmiska
I have only seen that movie once when I was nine or ten and it didn't end well. I have stories about how that film further exacerbated my phobia as a kid.
Here we go!
@mixtapemassacre
and I have collaborated on a t-shirt/ sticker to celebrate Pride! All proceeds will go to the
@TransLawCenter
, the organization we're supporting with
#GaylyHelpful
. Pre-orders start Friday! Hit the images for all the info!
🚨Here we go. 🚨
Submissions are open for Gayly Helpful 2021. LGBTQIA+ writers in the horror community, I want your article ideas. Multimedia (YouTube, Twitch, etc.) info also at the link. RTs incredibly appreciated.
Today’s my birthday! 🎂 and
@suspiriamovie
is out digitally tomorrow! Coincidence? I think not. To celebrate both, I’m going to gift 5 copies of Suspiria on iTunes. Follow, Like, read? and RT this. I’ll choose at 7 PM Central today!
I guess not everyone in the queer community can be friends and I'll have to live with that. Just gonna focus on trying to be a good person and advocate.
When Ryan asked me to be involved, I looked at the place we're at and thought, "we need to do better." I'm proud to be involved with this project and I hope you'll support us along the way!
