Ho! Ho! Holiday Viewing!@sleepykittypaw.bsky.social · 4d ago

Trailer and poster for horror-comedy CHRISTMAS AT THE KRINGLES, in theaters October 30. Side note: Rachel Bilson is really making the holiday rounds this year. 🎥 Trailer: op6bm6gab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001...

As a mental health escape/remedy/distraction, I spend some time doing the absolutely pointless mental exercise of what if GI JOE: THE MOVIE (1987) added 60 minutes, was written as a *series* finale, and freed from all toy commercial constraints. But the core 90 minutes does not change.

Very this. We are ambitious and ready, but we need money to do, uh, everything! It's a catch-22: we need money to make things happen, but you need things for your money. And we are ad and AI free, no seo or ceos, and that makes it tough. popheist.com/products

Every day I see posts On Here bemoaning the state of pop culture media and the removal of original voices from the space as corporate interests close in. Folks, at @popheist.com we are changing that narrative daily, but we need your help to do it.

Was just thinking earlier today how 90% of commercials are forgettable and vertically shot with amateur lighting and sound just because .... that's what things are now. Bland, colorless, cold, pointless.

I'm trying to make a guide of Halloween sitcom episodes, about 150 entries, for @popheist.com, but my darn mental health keeps getting in the way. But it's the same mental health that has me trying to write about 150 sitcom episodes so, win some, lose some.

Wow it's crazy how Robert Urquhart in Curse of Frankenstein is actually the sexiest man in all of horror and we all accept that as undeniable truth

Hey writers — any suggestions for article backup archive services, that preserve your work? I’m using one now but $180 all at once for another year is steep.

New at @popheist.com, 31 Days of Heistoween continues with a word from our sponsor, Vincent Price for Tilex Mildew Remover.

Heistoween Day 5: Vincent Price for Tilex - Pop Heist

Vincent Price was a master of the macabre, one of the most endearing celebrities of the 20th century, and also a spokesman for Tilex.

BIZARRE CRIMES, my 31-day @popheist.com essay series on THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE, continues today with an exploration of how, and why, astrology becomes a key theme in the film. This should be a gift link. Like what you read? Subscribe for just 7 bucks a month and read 'em all, and more!

Bizarre Crimes 5: Malefic Planets - Pop Heist

The world of the film's villains is ruled in many ways by symbols, and Pam subscribes to the same kind of symbolic power in the stars.

I can't open the bulk of my #MadMen #illustrations because they're on an external hard drive that refuses to connect. (Need to find an expert to extract what's recoverable) This is the oldest one I have on my computer — Season 2— so I cleaned up the file and made Don Draper's hand real big.

What a morning. Marvel Unlimited is dying. My Nog action figure release delayed until JANUARY. Truly there is nothing good in the world.

My entire relationship with Marvel Comics is currently powered exclusively by Marvel Unlimited. But ... whatever. Everything eventually dies.

Marvel Unlimited is being replaced with Webtoon's new Marvel Comics app, launching November 16.

There was a reason why, despite being borderline destitute, I found the money for all six Super7 ReAction+ Universal Monsters figures.

FIRSTLY as the piece alludes: Loren Rex Cameron’s also-trans and arguably more famous older sister, Cameron, was a I believe fully stealth working model and actress (a la plot of Pose) in the 80s and 90s mostly … I rewatched like I dunno, dozens of TNG episodes, where she appeared as Ensign Kellogg:

This October I will write 31 essays in 31 days about THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE. They'll be at @popheist.com for subscribers only. That's a serialized book-length analysis of one of the greatest horror films of all time from a noted Texan horror critic. 7 bucks a month. Let's fucking go.

I have now watched all of Strange New Worlds, seasons 1-4, as well as roughly 700 other episodes of Star Trek in the past 4 months. Strange New Worlds is exactly as silly, and as profound, and as well-written, as *all other Star Trek*
