I had a lot to say about the ending of Stranger Things. That show got me.

I finally watched Undertone, it had a creep factor that's missing in a lot of horror these days. It was like watching Paranormal Activity but if it were a podcast instead. I dug it.

Try not to think about all the wifi signals passing through your body at all times and what sort of information and images they contain. Ignore the terabytes of memes coursing through your flesh.

I forgot this yesterday, my last four:

When even the dump decides to get in on the Halloween spirit, you know you're living in the right place.

I'm two episodes into Crystal Lake and they've nailed the feel and tone of the 80s movies- I'm loving it. This year has given us It: Welcome To Derry, Below, Stranger Things 5, Carrie, and now this. Crystal Lake is continuing the trend of amazing horror TV, we're really having it so good right now.

Reminder to the horror heads out there, Crystal Lake dropped today. I for one am excited to start that tonight.

We need this brand interplay here.

I love pumpkin pie and a good pumpkin roll but you can keep anything pumpkin spice- it isn’t the same and you know it.

For #MuppetMonday, let's have some David Lynch flashbacks! #3: a Muppet version of TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME featuring Kermit, Piggy, and the Ghost of Christmas Past! Hand-drawn with mixed media on 9 X 12" watercolor paper.

Today was my second, now she's my wife.

Thanksgiving is a lot like Halloween because it’s a holiday that involves food. The biggest difference is that no one is particularly impressed when you show up to Thanksgiving dinner dressed like a zombie cheerleader.

I died in the shipwreck of a whaling vessel in 1798, but a few days later, clinging to an old rum barrel. Now I can only haunt this one specific patch of desolate ocean. I thought I saw a cruise liner once, in the distance. Had a scare ready to go and everything. Not much going on outside of that

Cancer: We connected the stars in your chart and it looks remarkably like a middle finger.

My last four watched. It was a good week.

I'm currently watching Below (2026) on Netflix, Josh Hartnett has never turned in a bad performance. I'm only two episodes in but I'm all the way hooked. This is good television.

My wife, sensing I'm about to pull out my harmonica, gently places her hand on my thigh to let me know it's an inappropriate time. We are an incredible team.

when you die all the jokes you forgot before you could post them flash before your eyes

Our dog won't let us leave the house without first putting on her show and by her show I mean the comedic stylings of Angus T. Jones, Jon Cryer, and Charlie Sheen in Two & a Half Men.

I sincerely hope Matt Reeves and his family are getting the support and love they need right now, and that all the shitty fans making demands of him realize what unmitigated pieces of shit they are.

A new book, OTHER WORLDS THAN THESE (T3), is published today. It's the final book of the Talisman trilogy, co-written with my old buddy, Peter Straub. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

They stopped making ghosts just after the civil war. You’ll never see a ghost with a man bun or hitting a juul

"There are only two rules in horror. To show something that shouldn't be there and is, or something that should be there and is not." - Guillermo del Toro. From September 26, 2026 to July 25, 2027, The Horror Show at The Academy Museum celebrates horror cinema like never before.

I spent the last three days looking for our pepper shaker, growing more and more convinced that someone broke into our house and stole it for giggles. I just found it, less than an inch from where it was supposed to be but sitting on top of the peanut butter.

one of the greatest joys of life is pressing buttons and clicking your mouse and seeing things happen on your computer screen

Robert Eggers is on a role as far as I'm concerned.

My last four.

My wife wanted me to try her gluten-free ramen so she extended a fork full of them towards me. I put my hand under them, as one does, so they didn't drip on the table and she dumped the pile of noodles onto my palm, like that's what I wanted, with complete confidence. I love my wife.
