Autism and anhedonia make it extremely difficult to scare me, but what Leonarda Cianciulli did in 1939-1940 is enough to base a horror villain on in my slasher horror script (and hoped-for trilogy), “Less Dead.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard...

Quote a horror film. “Tucker and Dale vs. Evil”

Eh, close enough.

These courageous women deserve a star-bedazzled biopic written and directed by Black screenwriters and filmmakers. www.nationalgeographic.com/history/arti...

How have I not discovered M.R. James’ fiction before now?!

Don’t do what Donny don’t does, #Screenwriters and #Filmmakers. You might ruin your career. Plagiarism is like smallpox in the film industry. #Nosferatu #Nosferatu1922 #CopyrightInfringement #Plagiarism #PranaFilm #F.W.Murnau #CountOrlok #MaxSchreck

This is autistic dichotomous logic personified. A story has to establish basic common sense. Who would return to a mass murder scene with a grieving relative and one police officer? The bodies are probably still warm. No shade towards the filmmakers; I genuinely don’t understand.

The saga continues…

My search for a literary agent has been fruitless. Samhain forbid I find someone who knows how to work with people on the autism spectrum and my unconventional story development process. #LiterallyAgent #LiteraryAgentInquireWithin #Screenwriter #ScreamWriter #Horror #BodyHorror #BodyHorrorNiche

Leaving this to prevent the same misjudgment that I made. Wow, I thought I had thoroughly combed Google but I missed that part. Thank you @realpcon.bsky.social for the insightful information.

I bought a new flash drive after my last one crapped out. Then, a month later, I got a voicemail from Texas, which I assume is an Amazon merchant, passive-aggressively asking me to review my order.

“Apple Tree Yard” (2017 miniseries) needs to return to the algorithm: @cornelluniversity.bsky.social staff who knew and didn’t report it, then “punished” them with essay should be held legally responsible for their actions for their failure to act and protect the victim. youtu.be/ywOjU1oaiOY?...

Here’s your reminder to do the exact opposite of what Elisabeth Finch did to get a staff job on “Grey's Anatomy.” www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Louis Maskell, in costume and makeup as Grinpayne in the musical adaptation of "The Man Who Laughs" (1869), is perfect. It always amazes me that a scrap of burlap masking his mouth and blood makeup can conjure the jeebies and capture my full attention. #TheGrinningMan #TheManWhoLaughed #Musical

After three years of dealing with health issues and coming to terms with the fact that I might be on crutches for the rest of my life, good creative things could be happening, but I can’t confirm. Stay tuned.

I barely use spellcheck. It’s like a snifter of port at Christmas.

I usually don’t go for the movie tie-in gimmicks but this one is pretty neat and actually reusable.

Madeline Kahn (1942 ‑ 1999) would have been 84 years old today. The world lost a legendary person, a magnificent singer, and a comedic genius taken too soon. What’s your favorite performance? Mine will always be “Clue” (1985).

I have finally found a pair of pants that fits my 85-pound, anxiety-riddled frame. Please clap in an Autistic-friendly, introverted manner: quietly and over there.

Who needs a gym membership when I’ve got these? I’m going to be ripped by next summer.

I never thought I’d say this but lawn darts actually sound like a safer activity for once.

This is why I shouldn’t reproduce. I know too many talented practical specal effects artists.

Donald Trump or serial killer John Wayne Gacy?

Diagnosis: Apparently, even my migraines have Autism. They’ve become more frequent, last longer, and are more painful than before. I’m caught in an infinite cycle.

Moose might remind you of Bullwinkle, but they’re bigger than an SUV and can crush the engine bay of a Ford F-350 like an empty soda can if hit on the highway. Conserving their population to sustain the ecosystem is one thing. Hunting them into extinction is wrong. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

If you feel like ruining your day and unleashing your intrusive thoughts, Google “feculent vomiting.”

Yes. Yes, you do. “No” is a complete sentence, not a life sentence.

I’m on crutches now, so I’m probably at Jason Voorhees’ stalk-walk speed. I’m borderline agoraphobic and an introvert, so anything involving people or going outside is in the “yeah… no” category. The only plausible scenario would be a home invasion horror movie.
