In fact, fuck it. Let's start that thread. Even in my relatively small TL, here's some talented and diverse people out here doing the work. Go say hi (1/who the hell knows)

(2/????) @NightlightPod - dramatizations of genre fiction written and acted by Black creators

@theheadknight- Founder of Knight Life pod, a diverse 3 person team who cover horror across subgenres in a easy to jump onboard way

(3/??)
@LovelyZena Been writing/youtubing and directing for over a decade, and she knows horror like few others. Get into it

@theanticritic Nerd, blogger, novelist Unapologetic Gay Horror Blerd

(4/???)

@GirlThatsScary 2 best friends deep diving genre films while being funny as fuck

@TheDaniBethea A writer/editor with bylines everywhere, because she is just that good.

(5/??)

@vfdpixie Academic style deep dives, that are way more engaging than the same old hot takes.

@XanaduFitness A blogger that loves both classics and crap cinema with a style that reads like a novelist. I want to write like him when I grow up.

(6/??)
@DrunkGraveyard Metal, horror and booze hosted by @oldblackgoat (a much needed Canadian Indigenous voice) and @ScottFloronic I want to get drunk with them and talk horror, like yesterday.

@girlsgutsgiallo Exactly what the name implies examining cult, genre and extreme cinema and finding the feminine lens in the perverse

@vulnaviasviolin Her writing is just as incisive and funny as her Twitter feed. Like everyone else in this thread, we don't talk about her enough

(8/??)
@GaylordsOfD Stacie Ponder and @TheCarlaRossi know more about horror than most and manage to be hilariously funny even when they swerve into serious topics.

@encyclophobia They are doing an amazing job making @salemhorrorfest the event we all want to see

(9/??)
@suspirialex Taking horror to academia, and making it an amazing shelf full of books we all should go buy.

@mkmcbrayer Speaking of books....have you read hers? Go do that.

(10/??)While we're talking academics @FacultyofHorror which is @necromandrea and @ScareAlex getting nerdy with it

Also @kat_diabolique who has been busting down the boys club bullshit for a long ass time, and is a DVD commentary queen/writer/editor

(11/??) Speaking of breaking down boys club bullshit @shannon_mcgrew @sarahmusnicky and @dreboulet are all doing their level damnedest to do so, while also creating and making opportunities for others

(12/??)

@filmdaze All of the film content minus the snarky bullshit, with a full slate of incredible writers and doing their best to open doors for marginalized perspectives

(13/??) @VyceVictus is both a film writing veteran, and a literal veteran who has been doing the work for longer than some of us have had internet access.

@JoeyLDG and @micheleneggen do thoughtful, nuanced writing and their takes brighten my timeline.

@sick__66 Latina Leo queen of insightful genre writing and social media winning

(15/??) That's just from my tiny little timeline, and I know there are amazing folks I've missed even in that. Add even more I haven't discovered yet. In short, be the change you want to see and I'll keep this ongoing for any recs you all have

Rather than play the game of dump truck dumpster fire hot takes and holier than thou bullshit, I'm going to try to do better curating and signal boosting the genre content I want to see...from all of the people left out of that lame ass insular conversation.

(17/??)
Told you I missed some folks.

@HMoviesBeyond is a youtuber/cosplayer with an infectious passion for horror, an enviable merch collection and a channel that is refreshing in that she remembers fandom is SUPPOSED to be fun.

(18/??)

@RICHARDLNEWBY His writing is razor sharp and he has an incredible knack for making complex topics as hyper vivid as the films themselves

(19/??)

@bitter69uk from camp to noir and all of the low rent delights in between, in a style that is somehow both journalistic and your funniest friend
