I missed the Horror365Challenge tonight because I met this guy! He was even sweeter than you could ever imagine. I was star struck which is really rare. I was shaking. He called me sweetie. My life may be complete now LOL! Lifetime crush, mission accomplished!

Before I was born, my mother and father lived in the same apartment complex with one of the female Munchkins! She and my mother got really close up until the time my parents moved away when mom got pregnant. Mom says she was a very sweet lady and denied that they were all wild.
It's balloon day at the ol Gnosis ranch! 42 years of laughing, loving, and licking the beaters of life! Or something! I'm about to head into work, but I'm off the next two days. I love y'all! ♡♡♡

/365 is The Intruder! I'm not sure why I haven't seen this before tonight! With a cast starring Bruce Campbell plus both Raimi brothers and produced by the legendary Lawrence Bender, you can't go wrong! A slasher in a supermarket? Clean-up on aisle 9!
#Horror365Challenge
224/365 is Salem's Lot! Unbelievably, I've never seen this until tonight but have been thinking about if for a long time! Today I happened to find the VHS while thrifting, so now I finally know what I was missing: a damn good vampire flick! 🧛♂️
#MutantFam
I've known Joe Bob was an ally since I first met him back in 2006, but just for those who don't know where he stands: he stands with me! I love you all and I love this community, if this loses me followers so be it. ♡♡♡
I'm sure there are going to be better vids on Joe Bob's statement on the assault of transgender rights. Civil rights. Human rights.
This is must listen video... play it loud.
I love our family🥰

Depression is winning the battle today. I'm probably taking a break from social media for a few days. I'm just tired of everything and everyone, especially all the casual hatred and toxicity I see on these platforms lately. I'm sure this post will get buried, whatever.
Sad news to wake up to as my grandfather passed at 1:40am this morning. On top of that I woke up with a gnarly stomach bug so happy Veteran's Day to me I guess lol! I may take a break from social media for a little bit this weekend. Love y'all! ♡♡♡
@MichaelVarrati
It was this one for me. My grandma had one of these little monkey toys that looked really similar to the box cover, and I wouldn't go near it or the movie. I was very disappointed once I saw the movie that it wasn't a murderous toy monkey like the cover art suggested!
I'm home safely from Texas Frightmare Weekend 2024! Another successful year for everyone. It was awesome to meet some of y'all in real life! Here's me and my friend

For the past three weeks, I've been having the worst RA flare-up since my diagnosis, and it's made my mental health a wreck, so I haven't felt cute enough to post any pictures of myself! Tonight, I decided to try my new makeup and try on my new Psycho shirt I thrifted! ♡♡♡
#Horror365Challenge
172/366 is We Are Still Here! I love this haunted house/haunted people/haunted ground movie by the great

! The cast is fantastic, writing is 👍, and the camera work really conveys the darkness of the story! Just brilliantly done.

In addition to horror movies, one of my other passions is true crime. I regularly listen to podcasts(Morbid, Buried Bones, etc.) and read books covering these subjects. What do y'all enjoy listening to or reading?

@ask_aubry
That is so absolutely disgusting and heartbreaking. A man in my hometown church tried to molest me when I was 9. Eventually, he got caught at another church 25 years later, but I doubt he suffered any consequences beyond probation either. Evil.
#Horror365Challenge
335/365 is Black Christmas! The first horror killer to scare me on a deep level and still creeps me out, particularly because he is barely seen at all. In other news, this film began my longtime crush on Olivia Hussey! ☎️ 🔪
#MutantFam
80 mph winds, tornado sirens going off, and no power. Luckily, the storm seems to be moving fast. Growing up in North Texas has made me pretty numb to this stuff, but the rest of my family is freaked out. Love you guys, stay safe.
I wanted to jump on here quickly and say thank you to everyone for helping me to reach 2000 followers(2020 last I checked)! I was trying to hit that number before Texas Frightmare, so the new goal will be 3000 by next year! I've got something special next week for y'all! ❤️

I haven't posted pictures like these in a month or more so to prove I'm not just a floating head and shoulders here's these I took today modeling a few thrift store scores from the last month! Getting more comfortable with my shape again, body dysmorphia sucks. Love y'all! ♡ ♡
#Horror365Challenge
317/365 is Death Spa! After years of laughing at the poster, I've finally experienced the craziness that is this movie! Sexy asparagus eating, lots of nudity, and equipment inhabited by a malicious spirit: what else could you ask for? Toni sez: ❤️

132/366 is Scanners. Unbelievably, this was the first time watching this gem for me! Patrick McGoohan is so great in this, as is the great Michael Ironside! I will meet Mr. Ironside this weekend, and I can't wait to tell him how much I loved it!
#MutantFam
#Horror365Challenge
248/365 is The Collector! Wow, what a masterfully brutal movie! The grimy and dark tone reminded me of TCM meets Saw, and very effective writing gave me a personally terrifying killer. This one scared the heck out of me! 😬😱💀
#MutantFam
Ooh dang I found an old picture of when I was at my cutest period! I'm back to that same size, wish I was in the same shape. I was feeling low tonight and this cheered me up to see. ♡
This is Toni's grief face. I'm about to go to the graveside service for my dear friend, trying to keep it together. I love you all, seriously I love you. ♡♡♡
I decide to share some old pics from the first couple of years I attended horror contentions. First is me with
@choptopmoseley
at the first Texas Frightmare Weekend 2006, then with George Romero in 2008 at Fear Fest 2! 17 years later, I'm still going strong! ♡
#MutantFam
#Horror365Challenge
23/366 is Q: The Winged Serpent! Another first time watch for me this year! I enjoyed seeing such stars as Carradine, Roundtree, and Moriarty committed to what would normally be a kind of goofy story. The kills were fun like most Cohen films.
#MutantFam
#Horror365Challenge
294/365 is WolfCop! I have no idea what I've gotten myself into with this one, but I think I LOVE it! A great independent feel with plenty of witty humor and fun effects makes this really worth a watch! 🐺 👮 ⛧
#MutantFam
#Horror365Challenge
185/355 is Lumberjack The Monster! I don't watch enough foreign horror, so I was delighted to see this released to streaming. Takashi Mike is like a mad scientist, weaving genres together into this great take on the typical man made monster tale!
#MutantFam
#Horror365Challenge
26/366 is Suitable Flesh on
@Shudder
! I liked it. I'm a sucker for Lovecraftian type shenanigans and a huge Stuart Gordon fan, so this one hit all the right notes. It's great to see Heather Graham in such a fun way, I'm hoping for more! 🐙 📖
#MutantFam
#Horror365Challenge
114/366 is The Autopsy Of Jane Doe courtesy
@Shudder
and The Last Drive-In! I can't make fun of this movie like I usually do because honestly, it's great! Mom is amazed at how accurate the autopsy process is. I'm not sure how she knows about this 🤔
#MutantFam
I've never commented on this before, but I guess now is a good time. Before October 2022 I never really used Twitter much, but I got excited about horror movies all over again after seeing Terrifier 2 and it got me curious about the horror community on this site. 1/
#Horror365Challenge
126/366 is The Thing! It's great to introduce this to my little brother after seeing it for the first time myself last year! John Carpenter is truly a master of horror, grabbing your attention with no apology from the very beginning! ❄️ 🐺🥼🧫🔬
#MutantFam
#Horror365Challenge
188/366 is Bone Tomahawk! We're still in a western horror mood, so I'm showing this to mom for the first time. I LOVE this tale of cannibals and cowboys featuring an amazing cast led by Kurt Russell and Patrick Wilson! 💀 🪓🪶🍗
#MutantFam
#Horror365Challenge
102/366 is Hello Mary Lou Prom Night II! Interestingly, I first knew the lead actress Wendy Lyon from her role as Prissy on Anne Of Green Gables! Mom and I really love this movie. We can't resist when a prom queen runs amuck!
#MutantFam
#Horror365Challenge
180/366 is Silver Bullet! A longtime favorite of mine since I was a child, it was time tonight to partake in a little Gary Busey action! The priest in this always reminds me of an evil David Byrne. *shrug*
#MutantFam
#Horror365Challenge
17/366 is The Fog! John Carpenter is truly the master of atmospheric horror, and I consider this one of his absolute best next to The Thing and, of course, Halloween. Great casting, a spooky story, and a morality tale all wrapped up in one!
#MutantFam
#Horror365Challenge
84/366 is Lifeforce! I have no clue why I've never seen this! Amazing cast, great music, and it reminds me of a horror Fantastic Voyage with bits of Alien! Brilliance from Tobe Hooper!
#MutantFam
#Horror365Challenge
275/365 is Trick 'R Treat! How I love this film! Dylan Baker is brilliant, and Quinn Lord definitely deserves his spot as an iconic part of modern horror. I wish it wasn't produced by a creep, but I still enjoy it.
#MutantFam
Was feeling a little down today with anxiety as I have to visit my hometown tomorrow. Then I remembered this picture from when I went out with my boyfriend to dinner in the same town and had the same guys who harassed me growing up drooling over me. I love y'all! ♡♡♡
My reward to myself for 2 years alcohol free! This will be my first time seeing these two bands together, which is crazy because I've seen both multiple times on headlining shows! HUGE Descendents fan, and Keith's other band OFF! is my favorite punk band! 💃
My final panel of Texas Frightmare Weekend was Juliette Lewis! I had 2 awesome interactions with her this weekend, but the top was her telling me I'm very pretty while I was going for the elevator this morning first thing! So sweet, beautiful, and amazing!
#MutantFam
I got this neat book for myself as a reward for surviving recent stresses! It's full of neat examples of horror art, posters, etc including my two favorite artists Jack Davis and Basil Gogos! Exclamation point!
#Horror365Challenge
107/366 is Dark Night Of The Scarecrow 2 aka Straweyes! I had no idea this existed, but it's definitely got its work cut out for it trying to come up against the original! The first kill was pretty goofy. Here we go!
#MutantFam
#Horror365Challenge
106/366 is Late Night with the Devil! I've been anxiously waiting to see this one, and I'm digging it so far! The costuming is great and I'm really enjoying the sound design as well! I think I'm in for a treat!
#MutantFam
Intrusive thoughts and money troubles have got me on the ropes today. I'm sorry if I don't post much today or tonight. I'll most likely lose followers for talking about anything not horror related, but I really don't give a fuck right now. Sometimes people struggle, even me.
#Horror365Challenge
119/366 is Psycho II! It was the first Psycho film I ever saw as a kid, and it's still great. Meg Tilly is so cute in this, and we get the legendary Vera Miles and Anthony Hopkins doing great character work. 👏
#MutantFam
#Horror365Challenge
289/365 is Dog Soldiers! The scariest and most effective werewolves I've seen, with plenty of action and just the right amount of gore! Mom was impressed, and I rank it in my personal top 3 werewolf films. I'm actually scared of werewolves haha! 🐺
#MutantFam
#Horror365Challenge
193/365 is Jason Goes To Hell! This may shock some of you, but I've never seen it and actually avoided it up till now! I'll let y'all know how I feel about it, but I'm optimistic that it'll be just the sort of early 90s nonsense I love!
#MutantFam
#Horror365Challenge
43/366 is Dead Of Night aka Deathdream! Helmed by the great Alan Ormsby, I really enjoyed this film! I'm sure it was quite the shocker in its day, delivering political commentary much like the work of George Romero and others with a unique story.
#MutantFam
As a HUGE Child's Play fan, I have to say thank you to

I've decided to start sharing some of my favorite old pictures of myself with others, particularly musicians for the most part. No real reason other than it cheers me up! Here's young Toni backstage with Dr. Chud of The Misfits 2009 Granada Theater Dallas.

I'd like to thank all of you for your birthday wishes, it really made my day special! Here's a picture of baby Toni with my friend Ruby Lamb 20(!) years ago! I miss that hair, I'm almost back to that size, too! Maybe I'll go red again soon!
I'm so sad. No other filmmaker except the great Herschell Gordon Lewis has had as strong of an effect on my life and love for independent cinema and its renegade auteurs. A class act and an inspiration to so many of my favorite people. There'll never be another.

Farewell to the great Roger Corman, whose body of work is beyond massive, and whose influence on the genre is literally immeasurable.

223/365 is The Last Voyage Of The Demeter! No spoilers! I will say, I loved it and can't wait until it comes to home viewing! The practical effects are nicely balanced with clever cinematography and as always, y'all know I dug the soundtrack! 🧛♂️ 🛥

75/366 is Terror Vision! It's been years since I've seen this, but I had a hankering for some good ole Full Moon/Empire vibes! It's become scarce on Blu Ray, so snag a copy if you come across it. Starring the great Gerrit Graham and Diane Franklin!
#MutantFam
Happy Mother's Day to my momma! She's where I get my love of horror and strange things in general! We look a little bit alike hahaha! Love y'all! ♡♡♡♡

People should stop being jerks to me at my work! It's Black Friday, none of us in the service or retail industry want to deal with your sense of entitlement today. Take it easy, we're doing the best we can.
#Horror365Challenge
241/365 is Dracula 1931! I haven't watched too many of the OG Universal films this year! This is always a favorite of mine, as I have had a lifelong crush on Bela Lugosi, the most handsome Dracula as far as I'm concerned. Tod Browning was a master.
#MutantFam
#Horror365Challenge
156/365 is The Mangler! Celebrating

#MutantFam

120/366 is The Devil's Rain! A genuinely creepy tale of cult horror starring so many talented people all at once that it's almost overwhelming. My birthday mate Ernest Borgnine versus Shatner, 'nuff said!
#MutantFam
#Horror365Challenge
295/365 is Another WolfCop! What can I say? I'm in LOVE with these movies! Great humor and effects like the first film, even having the poster being a Cobra homage which is super clever! I think the story is better here, but both movies rule!
#MutantFam
#Horror365Challenge
237/365 is Bram Stoker's Dracula! While not as scary to me as Christopher Lee, Oldman's Dracula is still menacing and ultimately a bit tragic. Keanu's English accent comes and goes, but overall I still like this movie 30 years later! 🧛♂️ 🏰 🐺🦇
#MutantFam
#Horror365Challenge
168/365 is Pieces! I've had it on my list, and I'm glad I gave it a shot! I do ALOT of puzzles, so there's an extra layer of "holy shit" to this one. Similar to Maniac and other slashers, but unique enough to still be a hoot! Killer looks cool too!
#MutantFam
#Horror365Challenge
284/365 is Totally Killer! We really liked this one, and I like that movies and TV shows are starting to be set more and more in the 80s or 90s as I'm an 80s baby! Great story with a couple great twists! Toni sez: check it out!
