“More links than a Zelda Convention…” - Erin B. Gaskill
Over at Dread Central, Yvonne Villasenor checks out 13 Spooky Small Businesses to Support on Etsy this Halloween season.
That incredible 4K Blu version of THE GUEST from Second Sight is available for pre-order on DiabolikDVD (note that while 4K UHD is Region Free, the regular Blu-ray Region B, so can’t play in most regular U.S. Blu-ray players).
For ScreenCrush, Matt Singer watched all 21 movies that have been given an “F” from CinemaScore. The results range from the delightful to the demented to the dreary.
James Wan’s MALIGNANT has caused quite a stir in the horror/film community. Some love it, some hate it, some love to hate it, and every other possible reaction (including the “I’m sick of all the reactions to MALIGNANT” reaction). While the film has nods to many different horror sub-genres and filmmakers, there is definitely a strain of Giallo in its DNA. But what is Giallo? Why is the plural Gialli? And what should you watch if interested in learning more? Have no fear - because Champion Of All Things Great Films-Related Brad Henderson has compiled a list over on Letterboxd of Gialli movies folks should check out.

Aundria Parker reviewed STRAWBERRY MANSION for Daily Grindhouse and also found much to love in the quirky-yet-sincere film. (Also, hers is a much better title for a review of that film than what I came up with, dammit. Well played.)
Shameless Self Promotion Time!!!
Please read my review of THE CARD COUNTER.
Please read my review of KATE.
Please read my review of THE EYES OF TAMMY FAYE.
Please read my review of COPSHOP.
Also, not review related, but if you can take a moment to tweet at Twitter Support (@TwitterSupport) to get my personal account (@NeuroticMonkey) un-suspended, I would greatly appreciate it. It was suspended due to “DMCA Complaint” but I never received any notification, anything about which tweets were in violation, or who reported it. So it seems weak sauce to basically charge me with something without having to produce evidence, an accuser, or a means in which to rectify the situation.
@philberge Finally! I made a total of 76 tattoos to create this scene from Betty Boop Snow White. A huge thank you to everyone that got tattooed for this project. #fyp #tattoo #tattoos #animation #stopmotion #fleischerstudios #cabcalloway #fleischer ♬ St. James Infirmary - Cab Calloway

Check out all the videos of this incredible TikTok account, kysthalimit. She does great and/or hilarious impressions of celebs while lip-reading (kinda) what they are saying on the red carpet for last week’s Met Gala.
Encyclopocalypse Publications is a boutique book publishing house of genre fiction in print and audio form that includes original works as well as novelizations of older movies like FRIGHT NIGHT and WISHMASTER.
One Man Riet is an impressive one-person graphic and merchandise company that has all sorts of cool stuff available. My personal favorite is this great “knock-off” horror movie puzzle, but you can find a ton more dope and incredibly unique items here.
Probably late to the game on this, but Rocom Toys has a great line of figures inspired by video games and movies from the ‘80s and ‘90s. You can buy them at Rocom’s site or on BigBadToyStore.
