Bf just asked me if I would still love him if he was shai-hulud he really flipped the script on me with that one.

The final panel of the day, New Horror Histories: Video Essays on Women in Horror, shares four excellent video essays created by Dr. Bruna Foletto Lucas Tugce Kutlu Kate Robertson and Krista Amira Calvo using a variety of editing, sonic and visual techniques for reflexive analysis #Fear2000

Great points being made by Krista Amira Calvo on looking at childhood and horror outside of western binaries!

Krista Amira Calvo presenting her brilliant research on horror and childhood yesterday at Horror Studies Now, in a paper titled Growing Pains: Violence and Child Autonomy in Reagan Era Horror Cinema @NU_FilmMedia

The most brilliant meeting of the minds. Thank you for having me @NU_FilmMedia I've never had a better time at a conference 🎉 Congrats to everyone!!

Prano Bailey-Bond in conversation with Laura Mee, kicking off day two of our Horror Studies Now event at Northumbria University for PhD/ECRs.

@NU_FilmMedia #HorrorNow Congrats to the team at Northumbria University for putting together a fantastic two day conference, featuring an exciting f range of new research. Congrats to all the speakers.

The final panel of #HorrorNow begins with Krista Amira Calvo on violence and child autonomy in Reagan-era horror cinema, drawing links between moral panics and how these issues shifted representations of children onscreen from villains to vulnerable

So my favourite character in #TriangleOfSadness was the boat fly how about you?

I want to turn my horror short Heavy Metal Coffin into a film but I'm currently working on a surreal cannibal-horror holiday romcom and the fact that that's a sentence I just typed out is hilarious to me. Teenaged me would be proud that I'm still so committed to the bit.

I am convinced that #Evri is actually a medieval dragon who has tricked everyone into thinking he's a courier service just to collect our parcels and sit on them like Smaug in LotR. He is laughing very hard at all of us right now.

This vintage Mickey Mouse camera has the exact same energy as the ancient haunted typewriter in Matthew Holness 's #Terrortome and I can't stop thinking about either of them 😐

So i have a very deep long relationship with whitest kids you know and finding out Zach Cregger did barbarian??? WHAT?! wish the grocery store scene was filmed in a greenpoint associated 🥲

Today! Jenn Adams writes about obsession, perfection, and compulsive thoughts in 'The Novice.'

'Without ever mentioning [OCD] by name, we watch as Isabelle Fuhrman nearly tears herself apart to combat intrusive thoughts of failure.'

Ready to die. I've written my will. The most brutal birthday gift (to myself) of all time Matthew Holness

Adding the finishing touches to my talk for De-Westernizing Horror Cinema on De-Westernizing theoretical frameworks in childhood studies for analysis of Southeast Asian horror cinema. Kuntilanak and Sabrina were such a blast to rewatch 👻 See you on Halloween!

Banshees if of Inisherin is one of the best films (imo) of the year. When you can write an entire film predicated mostly on one on one dialogue and not dramatic exposition i just get VERY excited. What a beautiful piece of art.

One of the most fascinating parts of Adam Curtis' new doc is his side mention of Andrei Chikatilo's murder spree. Because things were so awful that the loss of 52 women and children to rape, murder and cannibalism were just a garnish upon the state of the govt. 10/10 recommend.

and this is why I always put a lil effort into my wardrobe. i want fashion AND comfort while i haunt my friends 💅🏽

I'm so mad right now
