I was contacted by a prominent marketer about developing a package specific to my book, LURID, and the starting package was $900USD. Cannot afford that so here’s my alternative strategy: it’s not about the money for me but if interested, LURID is on the dastardly Amazon site. If that’s a no-no … 1/2

LURID book cover

Speed Demon (2025) is squandered potential. Could have been a fun, wild ride about a demon on an unstoppable train but it’s just dull. It’s also goofy but tries to take itself too seriously at the same time. Not much gore and the violence is fairly tame. #movies #horror *Spoiler in the comments

Faces of Death (2026) was actually a decent slasher, and also a satire that comments on the hypocrisy of social media censorship and the harsh reality that most viewers wouldn’t care if it was real, as long as it’s entertaining. Some really dumb moments bring it down but not awful. #movies

Faces of Death (2026) white face with one red eye and the other eye obscured by red tape in an X. Within the X is a screaming woman’s face.

Backrooms (2026) has a really neat concept and I loved the exploration scenes and the creepy creations lurking around corners but ultimately the movie left me feeling a bit flat by the end. It needed something else I can’t put my finger on. Didn’t hate it. Didn’t love it. It exists and that’s fine.

A person’s enjoyment of this movie will really hinge on whether or not they can suffer the ride with this group of characters. Personally, I found them to be mostly insufferable unfortunately. Beyond that, like the road itself, the movie seems without direction or purpose.

And now for another ride-along movie… #NowWatching IT ENDS (2025) to see if it offers up something a little more freaky than Passenger. #moviesky #horrorsky #movies

IT ENDS poster showing a night scene of a vehicle driving away, shrouded in night with only the soft glow of its headlights to show the way.

The third act of Passenger (2026) really lets this one down. Before that it was tense and scary and creepy, if a bit run-of-the-mill hokey demon stalking people movie, but then it goes into overly familiar territory and “big” special effects ending. Not bad as a one-time watch. #moviesky #horrorsky

Anyway, after starting The Passenger (2026), which I’m sure is a fine movie with Djimon Hounsou, but not what I’m in the mood for, I am #NowWatching Passenger (2026), hoping it is eerie and creepy and better than what I’ve heard. #horrorsky #moviesky
