Thank you to all of my followers!!!

A HEAD FULL OF GHOSTS David Harbour and Rebecca Hall are attached to the adaptation of Paul Tremblay’s novel about a family, a reality show, and a possession that may or may not be real. This one only works if it stays uncomfortable and refuses to explain itself.

Takashi Miike is known for movies that don’t pull punches, and this one’s set around a vacation in Kyoto that turns into a possession nightmare. I don’t know his work well, but this already sounds like the kind of horror people warn you about afterward.

The Blair Witch Project turned found footage into a feature, not a gimmick. By treating the camera like part of the story, it redefined horror as something raw, uncertain, and disturbingly real, and the genre never fully went back.

HIM frames greatness the same way horror frames obsession, as something that takes more than it gives. By treating ambition itself as the monster, it turns sports mythology into something ritualistic, predatory, and deeply unsettling. Winning stops being the point. Survival

Jaws didn’t rely on spectacle to work. By holding back what the audience expected to see, it shifted tension into pacing, timing, and perspective, and proved that suggestion could be more powerful than display. Modern blockbusters are still borrowing from that restraint.

The Mist shifts the focus away from the threat itself and onto how people react when certainty disappears. By confining ordinary people in an abnormal situation, it becomes a study of leadership, fear, and how quickly group dynamics change under pressure. The situation matters

James Van Der Beek brought a grounded vulnerability to The Plague, a bleak story about adults left powerless in a world overtaken by children who never wake from a collective coma. He played it straight, which made the desperation feel real instead of theatrical. Rest in peace.

The thing about Scream is it feels fun and scary at the same time. It shouldn’t balance that, but it does. Curious to see what Scream 7 looks like on February 27, 2026.

Happy Friday the 13th! Did you know Jason didn’t get the hockey mask until Part 3? Before that, he was just running around in a sack. Icons have humble beginnings.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Fun fact: the heart-shaped mask in Heart Eyes was designed to look cute at first glance and unsettling the longer you stare at it. Mission accomplished.

Happy birthday to Diary of the Dead, released February 15, 2008. Romero shifted the focus from surviving zombies to documenting the fall, showing how the urge to record can matter as much as the event itself. It felt like a warning.

Robert Duvall gave one of his quietest performances in The Twilight Zone episode “Miniature,” playing a man who finds comfort in a museum dollhouse that seems more real than the world around him. He made it feel completely believable. Rest in peace.

Pitch Black was released February 18, 2000. It took a simple survival setup and flipped it by making the darkness the real threat, not just what hides in it. And it gave us Riddick, with Vin Diesel stepping into a role that people still talk about.

Army of Darkness was released February 19, 1993. Instead of doubling down on horror, it leaned into absurdity and somehow made chainsaws, skeleton armies, and one-liners feel completely natural. Hail to the king.

Monster: The Ed Gein Story doesn’t leave the influence up for interpretation. It literally shows how Gein’s crimes inspired Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs. Once you see it laid out, you start noticing those same elements in countless other

Always when I’m doing something I shouldn’t

While I’m excited about the movie, I don’t think I’ll watch the trailer. Trailers have too many spoilers these days, so if I know I’m gonna see the movie I just avoid them.

Anya Taylor-Joy was basically unknown when she led The Witch, a stripped-down indie horror made on a modest budget and pure atmosphere. Horror is still the best proving ground for undiscovered actors.

A lot of hype for the Ready or Not sequel. The first was a lot of fun, will the sequel live up to the original? I hope so.
