Guillermo del Toro: “If you’re not operating on an instinctive level, you’re not an artist. Reason over emotion is bullshit, absolute bullshit. We suffocate ourselves in rules. I find fantasy liberating.” #screenwriting

Unpopular opinion maybe, but I’m genuinely enjoying #MonsterTheEdGeinStory. Yeah, it takes liberties, but folding details of Gein-inspired characters back into his own story? Inspired move. And I lost it when they did the TCM reenactment.

Ridley Scott says modern movies are “shit” and he just watches his own movies nowadays. “They’re really good! And also, they don’t age”

@donwinslow Ugh. They murdered a jaguar 🤮

Eric and Donald Trump, Jr...never forget who they are.

@Simpler_Media Thanks for the shout ET!!

Insights into the horror movie biz from @ImNickTaylor & his guest on this episode of The Nick Taylor Horror Show: Jim Mickle, Director of STAKE LAND, WE ARE WHAT WE ARE & SWEET TOOTH nicktaylor.com

And it's official! Let's get bloody. I just invested in Eli Roth's The Horror Section on Republic republic.com/horrorsection #joinrepublic

@DavidOndrej1 You sure? Several studies have shown that video games can be beneficial for the brain, particularly in teaching resilience... I've been a non-gamer for decades and picked up an hour a day habit and am notably calmer.

video games are far more destructive than porn. and porn definitely has a negative effect on society.

@Hulu you have got to be f**king kidding me.

@ZantiMisfit_ @TikiAmbassador @LouDPhillips @80sHorrorDoc So clearly you're a forever fan now :)

@TikiAmbassador @ImNickTaylor @LouDPhillips @80sHorrorDoc The theater where I saw BATS turned the cinema doorway into a cave and had hundreds of construction paper bats flying from the entrance, some suspended with fishing line.

Paging @LouDPhillips — the legions of In Search of Darkness fans would love to see you talking up your super fun ‘90s horror flicks in our next installment! I’d love to get in touch…

@dalepartridge Do you realize BJJ enables people to defend themselves regardless of size? Males are typically 60% stronger than females. Learning BJJ is a MASSIVE protective advantage for women. Tae Bo won't save her life.

Parents, stop putting your daughters into Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling. You’re letting 14-year-old boys grope, mount, and dominate your little girl. Yes, teach them self-defense, but do so with self-awareness and weapons training, not ground fighting.

@therlwrites @PromoteHorror Bro where you been 😎

Holy sh*t! Just watched this for the first time. Any fans ? ? ? 😮

Hey man, terribly sorry to hear about your cat. I just lost mine on Sunday and my god does it hurt. So few people really understand the effect that cats have on our lives. It's so profound to understand that you're there for their entire lives but they only can be there for part of yours but during that time, they can have a profound impact. Hope you're grieving ok. I recommend doing anything and everything that conjures up your emotions around them; write a letter to them, look at photos, even though it hurts, the catharsis is so helpful. Best to you.

Lost my wing man today. Goodbye Tom. A good boy until the end.

a great horror movie no one talks about Keith Thomas’ THE VIGIL

SO PSYCHED FOR ALL INVOLVED.

David Bowie had gone to a private showing of his 1987 movie Labyrinth. Afterward, he’d have a meet-and-greet with a group of children. He met them and had a ball, but one boy was shy and withdrawn. So Bowie asked the organizers of the event if he could talk to the boy by himself, seeing as though he was “so shy." The kid wasn’t actually shy — he was autistic. Bowie told the kid he was also scared, too, of everything. He was, in fact, only able to face other people because of a “magic mask” he would always wear. It just so happened the mask was ‘invisible.’ He gave it to the boy. He then acted rather distressed himself and had to make another magic mask, after which he became calm, too. Bowie and the kid just hung out for thirty minutes, and it was a magical experience. The boy later said he actually felt more confident after meeting David Bowie and receiving his “magic mask." Bowie reminded the boy of how ‘everyone is shy and scared sometimes, and we all wear masks’. Not every celebrity as famous as Bowie would take so much time and go through such effort to put an uncomfortable kid at ease at an event.

@RobbieBanfitch BRO, you haven't seen any of these?? Go: SMILE, BARBARIAN, WHEN EVIL LURKS then INFINITY POOL. Not necessarily in order of quality, the sequencing is more about an increasing level of insanity.

@joshstolberg Josh, so so sorry. My heart goes out to you and your family. I'm hoping the fact that it was a peaceful passing brings some comfort during this time for you and yours. I'm just so sorry man...my condolences to you all.

My little brother, Jason, passed away peacefully this morning, surrounded by love. He was a kind soul with a warm heart and he will be missed by so many of us. xo
