Screenwriter - GLORIOUS (Shudder) Author - UNDEREXPOSED (ABRAMS Books), MOUTH (Tenebrous Press) 8114 (CLASH Books, August 26th, 2025 - preorder TODAY)
Today marks 150 days until 8114 spreads its curse out into the world. 150 days until The Blackened Lady wraps her burnt hands around you. 150 days to get YOUR preorders in.
MOUTH was unleashed one year ago today (for real this time 😅) Crazy to think our weird, sweet, horrific teeth angel has been out in the world that long. I’m so grateful to every single person who has taken the time to read, review, and share the book. This book has been life changing—
Radiohead’s THE BENDS turns 30 years old today. It’s one of my favorite albums of all time… and one that means the world to me. So much so… it plays a *pivotal* role in 8114. Sharing a small snippet of the book to celebrate this momentous day 🖤

8114 (and a ton of other rad titles/friends) made this list over on… MEN’S HEALTH 😲🤯 What a fun surprise! And it will remain a fun surprise as long as Men's Health doesn’t ask me what my diet & exercise regiment was while writing 8114 (or you know… *anything* about my diet & exercise regiment 😅)

Coralie Fargeat sent out a 90 page (!!!) look-book with THE SUBSTANCE screenplay when they were shopping it. Not a pitch deck. An entire feature length look-book that tracks the movie from beginning to end with horrific images. It’s rad… and inspiring as hell. Link: drive.google.com/file/d/16jkY...

Someone asked: "So... public domain cosmic horrors that aren't Lovecraft. What do we got?" The tradition that gave us Lovecraft & co. is rich and deeply weird. While they aren't all cosmic horror, they all informed it. So. 1 like = 1 public domain weird story that isn't by H. P. Lovecraft.

“The unfortunate, inescapable truth is that the world is full of horror. But horror cinema has also always been full of the world.” This is good.
“I give the spectator the possibility of participating. The audience completes the film by thinking about it; those who watch must not be just consumers ingesting spoon-fed images.” - Michael Haneke (Funny Games) 😏🏘️👤📹🎞️
“Why do they keep making Jurassic Park/World movies??” Umm. Jurassic World Dominion was the SIXTH installment in the franchise and made ONE BILLION DOLLARS at the box office. That’s why 🙃 (Fun fact: The Lost World and JP3 are the only two in the franchise to NOT hit the one billion dollar mark…)
Fun reminder: Osgood Perkins (LONGLEGS, THE MONKEY) played the commerical director in Jordan Peele’s NOPE.
Horror is a transgressive, punk rock genre that is at times VERY political. And a large component of our audience and community is very, very queer. You don't have to share our politics to enjoy horror, but you sure as shit should share the ideals that everyone has a right to exist if you make it.
It’s pretty simple: Horror movies have always AND will always be political. You can’t argue *that* fact. You can willfully ignore it… but you can’t deny it. THAT would be arguing with the stone cold facts of 100 plus years of horror cinema… which would be a SILLY thing to do 🙃🤷🏻♂️🙃
