Taking victories where I can get them: I have just submitted the second and final draft of PHASES OF THE MOON: A CULTURAL HISTORY OF THE WEREWOLF FILM to @EdinburghUP and will be celebrating with the inimitable PROJECT: METALBEAST.

It’s the last day of @mayhem_festival and somehow I haven’t tweeted anything yet. In brief: the @BroadwayCinema continues to be amazing, HUESERA is a deeply effective horror movie about losing yourself to parenthood and I loved KURONEKO with a haunting live score by @Yumahsounds .

First day on campus since March 2020 yesterday and it was a bit nerve-wracking, but… I had a great session, then hung out with @MazGoing , ate Korean fried chicken and went to see THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK, so not a bad Friday all in all.

I very much enjoyed the latest TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. But I have just watched all nine of them in the space of four days and mostly had a good time, so make of that what you will. 🤷‍♂️

I've now got passes booked for @FrightFest in August and @mayhem_festival in October, and I'm incredibly excited to go to my first in-person festivals since 2019. I've seen a lot of great films at virtual events over the last few years, but I have seriously missed the real thing.

Currently working on a section for the book focused on WEREWOLF FEVER, WOLFCOP and BUBBA THE REDNECK WEREWOLF. One fact that sadly won't make it into the chapter is that they make for an utterly hilarious triple-bill.

Well, I felt appropriately monstrous when I woke up yesterday morning, but #fear2000 was an absolute blast. So many fascinating papers and two incredible keynotes from @LindsayHallam1 and @iainrobertsmith . Thanks so much to all of our delegates for making the event what it is.
