My #HQHalloween entries below, for @horrorqueers.bsky.social annual spooky season watchlist. I challenge myself to find a flick for each category that is a #firstWatch for me.
Just got out of a showing of Beware Boiúna and it really is one of the best films at keeping the monster hidden in the dark, with intelligent camera shots, and behind set pieces that I’ve seen since at least the mid 90s. Even with CGI, horror can be so effective when you keep the monster hidden.
I find my writing is most productive when I allow myself to jump between projects. Right now, writing a piece for my substack, a piece for my zine, two things for my contract writing job, and some other things that may or may not go anywhere.
This is wild to me because the film as it stands feels like has so many jokes in it that straddles the line of being too much. Like what was it like before? Jesus. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Had to get in my last-minute vote for this year's awards because I had to legit finish screening every movie I could before voting www.fan.gd/share-vote-bs @fangoria.bsky.social #ChainsawAwards
Is there a German word for when you’ve eaten too much pizza so you feel mildly sick but also you don’t regret it and would do it again if given the chance? Asking for no particular reason
I picked the perfect unhinged #firstWatch movie for tonight, the late 80s low budget horror flick DEATH SPA. Like a solid tenth of the movie is just B Roll of people working out with a weird storyline that isn’t sure if it’s sci-fi, paranormal, or like soap opera melodrama.
who's looking forward to @fangoria.bsky.social Chainsaw Awards tonight!!!! Can't wait
I'm late to posting about it here, but I've been following along @horrorqueers.bsky.social #HQHalloween movie calendar, so this thread is my 2025 watches.
