How am I just now learning about The Beerwolf. This dude rules. He loves silver bullets

I quit doing Halloween costumes because: A) I wear glasses, and B) That's about it. I desperately need them to see & that limits my options pretty severely. Also, shaving my beard RIGHT as the weather gets cold sucks. Shaved my head to be Dr. Venture one year & it was the worst November ever.

You know your family is interesting when you send your brother a picture of the dead bat you found in the attic at work & he responds with "Hell yeah, can I have it!!" 💀🦇

Just dying laughing thinking yesterday was a bad sinus headache. Plz end me.

All hail Bernie Wrightson!

Trivia went well, with even the most knowledgeable horror nerds declaring the final round to be "brutal." All that AND I found $25 in the alley on the walk back to the car! The kittens are upset we left the house again, however, & causing a ruckus.

From a recommended Insta post, I now know who the person on their phone was during the MANTIS screening during Nightmare in the Ozarks & I will listen to their podcast & judge them.

Rain/storms coming in the early morning hours tomorrow, which means tonight's trivia will be hosted by a man with an ever-growing sinus headache. Thankfully, liquor & caffeine helps, so that pre-game whiskey shot & Diet Coke will be somewhat beneficial.

We're hosting horror trivia (again) at Lucia in downtown Lawrence tonight. 7:30pm, free, all ages. We wrote 50 trivia questions in 2 days. Please come.

Listen: we know WWE (specifically the McMahons) is a lousy company, but dangit, we love Danhausen. This AND Halloween Havoc in the same week is the creepy squared circle action we need in our lives. Very nice, very evil.

Dear @chrislamartina.bsky.social plz bring SPIRIT TASTING to Kansas City.

Last night, we told ghost stories in a hot tub & that might be the most perfect end to a trip to a haunted town for a horror film fest ever.

The Whisperer in Darkness (1930)

It’s not too late. Be Frendo for Hallowen. Get your friends to be Frendo. O̶v̶e̶r̶t̶h̶r̶o̶w̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶g̶o̶v̶e̶r̶n̶m̶e̶n̶t̶ ̶a̶s̶ ̶F̶r̶e̶n̶d̶o̶

I'm internally contextualizing this by meditating on how insane with rage someone arguing we will need to preserve the tacky ballroom for reasons of historicity would make me

I'm blocking @mary1kathy.bsky.social and adding the account to my blocklists. Life is too short and the times are too serious to fuck around with disinformation and "A.i." bullshit. For accountability, here's the screenshot of the video they posted.

We are not at the Eureka Special zombie walk, but do know that we can hear it & the soundtrack is ACTUAL Halloween music. Not a "Bad Moon Rising" or "Zombie" to be heard, but fuck yes Kip Tyler's "She's My Witch." It slaps.

No pictures of tonight's girl dinner feast, but please understand there was a lot of cheese, crackers & chips, pickles, & treats. It was lovely.

An hour & a half on a bar balcony later, @luckynun.bsky.social & I have written 50 trivia questions while listening to a BALLER '90s playlist.

So much AI slop around this weekend. It's ugly & disheartening, but makes the handmade stuff just POP with creativity, so I suppose that's a plus.

We have eaten breakfast &, thus fortified, will be seeing a movie, an Adrienne Barbeau q&a, maybe another movie, then writing trivia questions.

Spoke about LANTERNS with composer Stephanie Economou for the @starburst.bsky.social YouTube channel. youtu.be/_aA_UDa0IkM?...

Anyhow, seeing what a tourist bar is like at midnight on a Friday is a LOT of positively shithammered folks. Almost scarier than the movies I watched today.

Literally was talking with Shon from @terrorvisionvids.bsky.social this afternoon & he said maybe #TheLastDriveIn would show WNUF & here it happened. Congrats to @chrislamartina.bsky.social. #mutantfam

Staying up 'til midnight watching horror movies with a like-minded crowd is fucking lovely. The comedown from Nightmare in the Ozarks is gonna be rough. There's a 50/50 chance I find a bar after this & stay out 'til last call writing trivia questions.

Is it weird that one of my best experiences this trip was finding a 12-disc DVD set of @ricksteves.bsky.social Europe for $2 at a library book shop?

"Ooh, let's go sit on the porch." *cover band down the hill immediately starts "What's Up"* "GODDAMMIT."

Watching FROGMAN & FROGMAN RETURNS back-to-back is a wild ride.

Taking a shower before bed last night was a great idea. Still iffy on whether hiking a mile up a steep hill to hit the grocery store(s) & coffee shop was good or not, but this lavender latte is pretty damn worthwhile. Porch hangs until we go see Larry Fessenden's TRAUMA, OR MONSTERS ALL in an hour.

We did fine. We had a blast. Great food. These folks won.

We got to watch Caroline Williams' new movie, DEATH CAME KNOCKING, with her as she saw it for the first time & it was totally worth powering through some late in the day exhaustion. Would recommend.

Gonna go see what it's like to do horror trivia at a horror film fest. We will either be humbled or rock it. Team name: Our Creature Presentation.

Sitting on the porch at the AirBnB, reading a book, drinking water. I can see the ballroom where they're screening stuff, but I think I need to take this a little less firehose or I'm gonna get overwhelmed.

Somehow managed to make it back in time, but I will not be climbing those 6 flights of stairs again. Once I leave, I'm out. Thay said, looks like 3 more shorts blocks before we hoof it to trivia.

Even attending a film festival, we found a way to bring you a new episode (I edited it the night before we left).

2 shorts blocks watched. Decided to go for a walk to grab a sandwich & a beer while I decide whether more shorts or RISE OF THE RATS or sitting on this adorable patio with a book.

T-minus about an hour until I spend most of the day watching short films in the ballroom of a century-old hotel.

Hello, Everyone!!! I hope you are enjoying a magical Halloween season! If you are looking for a little extra Halloween fun, I recently posted a new video where I discuss the brilliant mind of William Castle! Corpsey Lou on YouTube! youtu.be/DxJ0XdH0yXA?...
