Is there, like, a support group for people who relate a little too much to Kris during that one scene in Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma?

Been on a bit of a theme with my viewing lately. So far I’ve watched Archie’s Weird Mysteries Eerie, Indiana FreakyLinks Private Crimes (giallo attempt at a Twin Peaks style show) American Gothic (1995) and I’m on Season 2 of Supernatural

The Fall of the House of Usher is an absolute MASTERPIECE!!

Moving on to a show I’ve been wanting to revisit for YEARS and finally picked up a copy after playing my first game of Vampire: the Masquerade; Kindred: the Embraced. Truly a shame it was so short-lived.

That was a well done finale and one of the most deserved and earned deaths in TV history.

Since I’ve been going through the Roger Corman Poe films for October and am about to do a Poe Party rewatch to follow up on my recent Headless rewatch, I decided to continue my Flanagan viewing with a look at The Fall of the House of Usher for the first time.

Re: Shane Gillis

Oh, I also just finished Dimension 20’s City Council of Darkness, which definitely fits this ongoing list of shows.

Finishing the last two episodes of Midnight Mass and THANK YOU Erin Greene for THAT moment in episode 6. “We’ve got five minutes.” 🤣

Now I’m on Mike Flanagan’s Midnight Mass. Not at all what I was expecting. First three episodes down and I am definitely riveted.

Oh man, the more I see of Samantha Sloyan as Bev Keane I see how perfect she is for Margaret White. SHEESH!

How I arrived on Bluesky

Welcome back from the void, everyone.

After that, I watched through the Gothic anthology mini-series Supernatural, also from 1977. A pre-cursor to Are You Afraid of the Dark, each episode begins with a prospective member of the Club of the Damned hoping to gain membership by sharing a spooky story.

Moved on to Beasts, another British anthology from ‘76. This one was… interesting. Definitely highs and lows, but ended with some quality creeps.

Every author you admire has sat looking at their screen page, unsure if the sentence in front of them was good enough. That uncertainty didn't disqualify them from finishing the book, and it doesn't disqualify you either.

Considering producing a chapbook/zine for my short fiction.

After Castle Rock, I moved on to the 2010 Dirk Gently series with Stephen Mangan and Darren Boyd, which feels a bit more in line with the books to me than the 2016 series.

23 Sept

Continued on with my British viewing with Children of the Stones from 1977. A fascinating mini-series that feels like a mix of The Wicker Man and classic Doctor Who.

28 Aug

Returning to Castle Rock to finish it up and while I’m not a huge fan of all the timeline and story changes they made, Annie Wilkes straight up mercing Ace Merrill with a ice cream scoop in the first episode of Season 2 was pretty great.

31 Aug

Overall that was… disappointing… Maybe I’m just growing tired of AUs and revisionism, but other than Lizzy Caplan’s performance, that was a letdown. There was a lot of promise with not enough followthrough for my liking.

Now I’m doing a rewatch of The Dresden Files. I know book fans don’t care for it, but I found the show first and actually enjoy it for what it is. I’m just getting started with the books, having only read Storm Front so far.

25 Aug

How come none of you told me about Midnight, Texas? A show about a weird little supernatural town from the writer of True Blood? AND Sarah Ramos is in it!? I’m already on the last two episodes of the first season!

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness

Oh! I also watched The Wayward Guide for the Untrained Eye, which I started back when it first came out but never finished. It’s so much freakin’ fun and I highly recommend it!

From there, I moved on to Lovecraft Country, which takes some big swings, and even though it sets up to continue without a certain problematic individual, I’m kinda glad it was a one-and-done. (And I was NOT expecting the Christina/William reveal!)

I think the biggest problem with the 2005 Night Stalker is the lack of resolutions at the end of most episodes. They come to a conclusion, the case solved, but there’s rarely an explanation of what the episode’s monster actually is. The original Kolchak, Supernatural, the X-Files; they all did.

Moved on to season one of Castle Rock, which was interesting, and definitely took some concepts from Haven for its big twist. Didn’t really care for this interpretation of Alan Pangborn, even though Scott Glenn did a magnificent job, as always.

I’m now on the Night Stalker reboot from 2005. I’d say they were trying too hard to be Supernatural, but both shows started at the same time.

18 July

Also, I was trying to place the FBI agent who has it in for this version of Kolchak from the pilot episode. I finally had to look him up and realize it’s John Pyper-Ferguson. I never recognize him without facial hair and using his normal voice. See, I know him best as Pete Hutter.

10 July

Ugh. I forgot about the forced romance between Shaggy and Velma in Mystery Incorporated… and that they made it a love triangle… with Scooby…

18 July

Taking a break from Mystery Incorporated, which gets better once they drop the love triangle, and have now rewatched the short-lived Clerks animated series and Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace.

10 July

Decided to do Kolchak since I hadn’t watched my Kino Lorber blu-ray copy yet. Started with the two TV movies, then did the full series. I’m going to go through the reboot soon, too, even though it’s a fairly weak effort. I will always love this show.

10 July

Followed up the Night Stalker with South of Hell, a very short-lived show from Blumhouse starring Mena Suvari. I’d been meaning to watch it since I did a day on set as an extra. It had some good ideas, I enjoyed the premise, but it was rather poorly executed. Still, glad I watched it.

Next up is either Kolchak the Night Stalker Gravity Falls Twin Peaks Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated or The X-Files Anything else I should consider?

10 May

We need more unhinged flicks like Rock ‘n’ Roll High School, frankly
