Robert Budzinski has the right idea.

I love everything bout this.

While it's still reasonably fresh in mind, here's a few choice set photos by my manservant @beigeinside from my dream-come-true guest spot on #thelastdrivein. On TV it looks like a public access show from hell (as it should), but in person these sets are like their own hyperreal little world. The crew really work their asses off on these episodes, but every single one of them was so, SO nice; I was incredibly impressed not only with their work ethic, but their morale. My only regret is that I didn't get to meet Ernie -- I was too starstruck to talk to him! -- but maybe if the outpouring of support I got from the ever-lovely #MutantFam is heard (you guys have blown my tiny mind!), I'll get another chance some day... 🦎🤠🍻

Calling all true believers! A week from today at LA's Philosophical Research Society--and on your computer screen!--I will deliver my Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies lecture "Based On a True Story", an examination of the legacy of the Amitvyille Horror, one of the world's most enduring hoaxes. Though outed as a scam in its early days, it still produced a best-selling novel; the then-highest grossing independent American film of all time; and literally countless books and movies. It seems there is something exciting about believing in the so-called Horror...but what? What urge does it satisfy, what void does it fill? Why, as one bombastic movie trailer claims, did it make millions "believe in the unbelievable"? I'll examine the story's factual origins, its fictional distortions, a little cognitive science, and a bit of classic philosophy to try to understand why the world still wants to believe in the reality of the Amityville Horror.
