Widow’s Bay and Summer House finishing their seasons on the same feels like a personal attack.
Church was slightly less invested in part 2 of the Summer House reunion.
It’s important that Backrooms takes place in 1990 to be considered a horror movie. If it was set in 2026 it would be a joyous film about affordable housing.
Finally got around to watching “Wuthering Heights” (2026) this evening. It was not for me in any way shape or form. I love the book. This film is not the book. Which led me to think about the nature of adaptations.
I think I’ve aged out of culture because I have to keep reminding myself that the headlines are not referring to this movie.
The call is coming from inside the relationship! Faculty of Horror’s new episode on Oren Peli’s Paranormal Activity (2007) is now live! 🎥 pod.link/591499834
Thank you @finalgirlafterdark.bsky.social , @alexwest.bsky.social and Faculty of Horror via David Lynch for furnishing me with my March incantation
To me, great art articulates the things we feel but don’t have the vocabulary to express. Films like The Bride (again, for me) fail because they give us characters who affirm our POV back to us, never challenging or surprising us in the process.
After 13 years of podcasting, we’re *finally* tackling David Lynch and we couldn’t have done it without special guest @finalgirlafterdark.bsky.social Tune in now to hear our conversation about mutant babies and the myth of America. pod.link/591499834

Whenever I feel bad about *gestures vaguely around* I think of how the Predator has an elaborate wrist watch/self destruct device that they activate by going BEEP BEEP BOOP with their fresh set.
One of the (many) wonderful things about my boyfriend is that he’s a fan of the original Star Trek and alerts me to the fact that they used to have aliens like this.
Back in 2017 my ex and I were looking to adopt a cat. We went to the Toronto Humane Society and the lovely guy working the cat section told us to go to the back and look for a tuxedo cat named Loon. We headed straight back, turned a corner and saw the prettiest green eyes.
You better watch out because Faculty of Horror’s episode on Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984) is now live 🎅🏻🪓 pod.link/591499834/ep...
I’m very unmoved by these PR strategies that have actors play icebreaker games for the internet. Bring me back to the time when a reporter would get dropped off at Russell Crowe’s ranch for a week and have an emotional affair with him.
I love listening to GDT talk about his films but man, as a society we have to do something about the weird lighting and rendering in these Netflix films that makes them look flat as fuck. The BTS footage looks ten times better than the final product.
