DOLLY actor Ethan Suplee and FANGORIA moderator Kimberly Leszak at the an IFC Center sneak screening of DOLLY in Manhattan.
Go see DOLLY and THE BRIDE! this weekend. Everything feels like it's pointing toward fewer theaters and lower reach for artistic voices in the future of film and we should do everything we can to stop that.
Also, Ethan Suplee rules. My favorite part of DOLLY.
If you asked me in 2018 to guess what kind of opportunities my job at Fango would present, “jumping out of an airplane with the Predator from PREY” probably would not have occurred to me at the time.
What a life.

To celebrate Maggie Gyllenhaal’s THE BRIDE! hitting theaters today, we’re going down the aisle to revisit horror’s best and most beautiful bridal gowns.
(Scary faces leer and reach for the camera in black and white) MONSTROUS MUSINGS The Giant Conspiracy Happening Against YOU By Phil Nobile Jr. I work with a pretty cool and diverse spectrum of employers, staffers and freelancers. Folks of different genders, sexuality, races, backgrounds. I think we're all pretty aligned ethically, morally, and where human rights are concerned, but when it comes to movies, opinions, and pop culture tastes and takes, we're all over the place. And that's great. Sure, I will shake my head at a co-worker's opinion on a movie from time to time. We might even debate our differing positions. It's fun! But I'm becoming increasingly aware that this kind of civil, respectful coexistence is giving way to a troubling, growing line of thinking I see in the world - and, more and more, in horror: "If you disagree with me, something is up." It's not even "you're wrong"; it's "you're only pretending to have a different opinion than mine, which is the correct opinion."

Honestly glad to be of service 🫡
I think many such cases of more familiar with the merch than the material 🫠
For me not knowing something is an opportunity to learn about it or consume it for the first time (a joy!), but the anonymity of the internet and general celebration of ignorance has made the broader conversation almost unbearable!
And for those of you pretending you read the novel: The bride is a scrapped experiment who is never reanimated
As someone who loves movies and often has controversial takes, I did not anticipate the number people who a) Did not know BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN by James Whale existed or b) Thought that story was in the original novel.
I fear I found the magic words to summon the piss babies of bluesky.
It's so difficult, not being the target audience for absolutely everything
I love this review from @hauntedmeg.bsky.social

Results in: Men once again uncomfortable about a movie not made for them.
A cover so gnarly we'd get banned if we tried to reveal it here! This is your only chance to steal a glimpse at our FANGORIA #31 cover before it's revealed to subscribers in Spring.
At the synesthesia stage of sleep deprivation. The word “life” just went through me like a hot knife in day-old buttercream.
I got to speak to THEEEEE Leon S. Kennedy himself and was (mostly) normal about it
In our exclusive RESIDENT EVIL REQUIEM interview, actor Nick Apostolides talks Leon Kennedy lore, his favorite one-liner, and which survival horror game he'd love to star in next. Watch it right here.
Ugh LOVE him
What if life is just some hard equation on a chalkboard in a science class for ghosts? You can live again, but you'll have to die twice in the end.

I love @80shorrordoc.bsky.social but my favorite part is always @horrorgirlprobs.bsky.social swearing prolifically with that million dollar smile. 😍
I am once more yapping about the Bond franchise with @007dossier.bsky.social and @thespycommand.bsky.social

I will settle something right now for anyone with a brain cell who said the lesser of two evils bullshit:
I voted for the person who wasn’t in the Epstein files.
Now we are at war because the questionably elected pos potus didn’t want to go to jail for being a sex predator.
I don’t know anything about this author but reposting because I know release days are supposed to be exciting and that got taken from them.
Be a little nicer to regular people. Gotcha-ism isn’t activism. The world is crumbling and no one is doing shit. We all keep hoping, but I just know someone out there must still really want to impress Jodie Foster. My heart tells me it is so.
