THE POUGHKEEPSIE TAPES (2007) remains near the top of Father Gore's most disturbing films list. Something about it is totally unsettling. #Horror #ThePoughkeepsieTapes #SerialKiller #InstaHorror #FoundFootage #HorrorFilm

Happy birthday to one of the horror genre's greats, Mr. Brad Dourif!! Not only is he fantastic in horror movies, he's an amazing character actor whose career has spanned four decades & nearly 200 performances (movies + TV). He's a gift to the screen, big or small. Father Gore hopes Mr. Dourif is living it up today at 69 years young. He deserves it. Which performance of his is YOUR favourite? #BradDourif #InstaHorror #Film #Movies #Actor

Trailer Alert! Trailer Alert! THE HEAD HUNTER (2018) A medieval warrior's gruesome collection of heads is missing only one— the monster that killed his daughter years ago. #Horror #TheHeadHunter #DarkFantasy #FantasyFilm #InstaHorror #Medieval #HorrorFan #Trailer #Film #HorrorMovies #JordanDowney #Fantasy

Tomorrow afternoon I'm doing THE BIGGEST interview yet for Father Son Holy Gore. I get to spend 20 minutes on the phone with director-writer Larry Fessenden as promotion for What The Fest!? to talk about his latest film, Depraved, which is a 21st century retelling of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Larry's one of my biggest inspirations. I'll have to try not to fanboy too hard. #Horror #InstaHorror #Interview #Film #LarryFessenden #GlassEyePix #Depraved #Frankenstein #HorrorFan #WhatTheFest

Get your summoning circles ready, y'all! Because CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA is back with Part 2 next month. #ChillingAdventuresOfSabrina #KiernanShipka #Witchcraft #Netflix #InstaHorror #Horror #HorrorFan #Trailer #CAOS #RobertoAguirreSacasa #BlackMagic #Comics

Todd Haynes makes great movies. SAFE is Father Gore's favourite— as scary as a horror flick. Julianne Moore gives one of the best performances of the 20th century, for real. The screenplay is as relevant today in 2019 as it was in 1995. #ToddHaynes #JulianneMoore #TitleScreen #Horror #InstaHorror #Film #HorrorFan #PsychologicalHorror
