This crap needs to die. I am so tired of functionality being locked behind user registration. I don't want a million different accounts just to use the websites I frequent.

#EvilDeadBurn is a solid 7/10. Leans a bit trauma-horror, but the practical effects, camera work and illusions are fantastic. Rise still edges it for me. Enjoyed the romp, would watch again. Strong era for the franchise. #EvilDead #Horror #FilmSky #MovieSky

Poster for Evil Dead Burn which features a woman being touched by a scorched arm as four people in odd poses watch from the background. The tag line reads "Every Family Has Its Demons"

Who made this and why are they calling me out this way?

Drake, not looking at "letting my characters have long and happy lives together"
Drake, approving of "killing off one love interest and leaving the other to suffer for the rest of his natural life"

I love the novel #Dracula because the recipes in it are divine. One of my favourites is robber steak. The recipe is a search away, but let me know if you want my recipe! #BookSky

The cover for "Dracula" by Bram Stoker, showing a silhouette of Dracula within which there is an illustration of a moonlit castle.

This got slept on. Interesting story, horror in the right spots. Had me on the edge of my seat in some places. Great stuff. Recommend. #Hokum #horror #FilmSky #MovieSky #HorrorSky

I'm so sorry, Chuck, I love your work, but this one I only made it half way before giving up. Just could not get into it at all. #ChuckPalahnuik #BookSky

The cover of "Not Forever But For Now" by Chuck Palahnuik.

Just watched #Backrooms. It was alright, like a feature-length episode of #ChannelZero. Not sure I fully understood the ending but to be honest it doesn't detract from the rest of the film. I'd recommend it.

Sometimes I'll write a draft I absolutely hate. I'll keep it around just in case there was a cool idea in there or just to look back on how shit I wrote it the first time. They'll never see the light of day. #writing #writer #writersky #booksky #author #authors #authorsky

"Y'know, that fighting movie? The poster is a bunch of floating heads surrounded by people in action poses? Released in 2026! You know the one!" #movies #mortalkombat #streetfighter

Not watched any Dune films so I've no idea what this is meant to be, but it makes me think someone's been playing with the photocopier.

A poster for the film "Dune" which features three dragonfly-looking things, the text "DUNE" "PART THREE" and a shape not unlike a pair of bosoms or someone's buttocks. The maybe bosoms/buttocks are in black while the rest of the image is in shades of gray.

I forced myself to go back and finish watching this. Holy crap the whole military plot is the most half-baked story I've ever heard. Couldn't recommend. Good frights though, that's one of the few things in the positive column. #Horror #WelcomeToDerry

This is stupid, funny and informative at the same time, I didn't know Google did this and I didn't know half of those facts. #Google #PrayingMantis

A search result for "i am a praying mantis and I cant wait to bust a nut" which then proceeds to speak to the user as if they are a praying mantis.

Oh man, I slept on this. What a great film, I was enthralled all the way through. It's like a feature-length Twilight Zone story. Had no idea it was based on a game. #Exit8 #horror #movies

I got to watch #SendHelp last night. A very fun flick! Definitely got some laughs out of me. I reckon it could stand to have about 20mins shaved off, this is a 1hr30m film stretched to 2hrs. Still recommend it though, Rachel McAdams is GREAT! #horror #comedy #movies

I finally got around to watching this. Not impressed at all. Went in expecting a horror, didn't get that. Went in expecting a story about people surviving against the infected, didn't get that. So disappointed. #movies #28YearsLater #horror

Look at this book shop. Let me tip-toe to the highest shelves, permit me a sidle between the stacks. I can, and will, get lost in here. #booksky #books #writer #author #writersky #authorsky

Stacks and shelves full of books with a tiny walkway between them. A box fan sits haphazardly between Stacks of books.

Thrilled to announce that my debut novel, Duskfield Pines, has found a home (again!) WICKED HOUSE, a horror imprint of AETHON BOOKS, has picked up the full trilogy - release date to be confirmed. More details to follow soon. Watch this space!

Rest assured I'd rather eat a fucking bullet than put an advert in one of my stories. Absolute state of this. #writer #writing #Booktok #author #author #booksky #writersky #authorsky

I'm playing through #Reanimal. THIS IS WHAT LITTLE NIGHTMARES 3 WAS MEANT TO BE. Loving it!!!

Poster for reanimal which shows an abandoned, misty or foggy landscape with some sort of angry sheep coming out of the mist.

Some really good ideas in this but it gets completely overshadowed by the ridiculous and cringe-inducing dialogue. Grandma Exposition doesn't care who just walked into her house, she's saying her piece and that's the end of it!!! #Whistle #Horror #Movies

Poster for the film "Whistle" saying DONT BLOW IT but you might want to if it gets you out of hearing some of the crap these teenagers say.

Almost missed it! Happy #TwinPeaks day!

Focus, Jack. Just get the edits done. We can do this. #BookSky #WriterSky #AuthorSky

Had my eye on this since early November and honestly I cannot contain my excitement. Sam Rockwell and Gore Verbinski? I am SO in. #GoodLuckHaveFunDontDie

Jack Wright@jackwrightauthor· Dec 19

That's the first draft finished. It's going to need a lot of edits (I wrote a book's worth of notes just while writing it!) but that's my 4th book finished. Now my wife can stop complaining I never finish writing a book!!! #BookSky #WriterSky #Writing #Writer #Author #Authors #WritingCommunity
