Clever Than

New Show! 10/13🌱Plant Murder🔪 unearths the deadly intersection of plants and true crime. Did a Roman Emperor really die from a mushroom? Why did the Victorians invent a deadly pear?  Who in the Borgias brandished Belladonna? shows.acast.com/plant-murder @TheRustyQuill

Nothing is more humbling than spending 4 hours researching the specific architectural layout of a 14th century tavern just to write the sentence: "They went inside."

If I bought this and it didn't come with a ghost, I would ask for my money back.

That night Toad looked out of his window. 'Drat!' said Toad. 'My seeds have not started to grow. They must be afraid of the dark.'

October Rebus

Drop some PUMPKINS 🎃🖤

rolling into october...

This means so much to me.

@docoho @MrRobValentine Edwardian and Victorian horror Dr Who is the best Dr. Who.

The last, great episode of this story? Should Sarah be able to fire a gun? Did Tom need to dress up as a Mummy? Is this one of the best cliffhangers ever? @MrRobValentine podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a-h…

@sgrstk Right?

Billionaires are fucking boring. Your mega mansions with all-white furniture make me sick. How could you have that kind of money and not live in a haunted castle with a moat, hedges shaped like animals, and a groundskeeper with a questionable past?

It's suddenly September again, and with spooky season just around the corner, the intrepid Joe Ford and I are donning our pith helmets and excavating DOCTOR WHO: PYRAMIDS OF MARS on Hamster With a Blunt Penknife. #MummyTits 🐹

@FilmSound1 Interested in US designers?

Looking for a couple of sound designers to help my teams for a few weeks. Linear design, do shoot me a dm if available and rate /cv. :) #sounddesign

Would watch.

@SethMSherwood You might add Nolan to that list, too. I've always looked at it as a technology driven art form, and the two are inseparable. Can you separate Nemo from the Nautilus?

I am all for the advancement in cinema technology, and I think it is exciting as tools become more readily available... but I am sad when we lose a visionary director to their own tech obsession. Cameron, Zemeckis, and George Lucas come to mind as guys who fell into a tech hole.

I had the great pleasure of exploring the dark corners of audio drama and immersive audio with Keith Smith on his Fuel Podcast. I got to talk about Selene, Plant Murder and all the great digital weirdness that surrounds us. Listen here: thefuelpodcast.com/aaron-j-reardo…

@brotherurth @HorrorHammer1 The Mezzotint.

@HorrorHammer1 Was this based on a M.R. James story?

Night Gallery in 1969.... this one is classic....

If you're a horror creator and not fighting censorship, you're basically hand weaving the noose they'll hang you with. Horror stories have always been in the same penny dreadfuls and blue books as pornography and crime stories. No amount of handwringing will change that.
