Michael Johnston
𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍 in theaters May 15
𝐅𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐋 𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍
It is unremarkable for movies to receive standing ovations at film festivals. It is, however, unusual for a crowd to chant a director’s name before their film even begins. That was the scene buyers encountered inside the Royal Alexandra Theatre at last year’s Toronto Film Festival as Curry Barker unveiled his full-length theatrical debut 𝘖𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 in the Midnight Madness sidebar. There’s no burying the lede here: 𝘖𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 is about as good as horror gets. This Midnight Madness gem lives on past the witching hour.
Michael Johnston stars as Bear, a quintessential nice guy forever pining for his childhood friend Nikki (Inde Navarrette). Fumbling his chance to come clean once more and in a fugue state of dejection, he turns to a monkey's paw object, One Wish Willow, which he acquires in a woo-woo curio shop. His wish? That Nikki would love him more than anything else in the world. In no time at all, Nikki is horny for Bear. A finger snap transformation, it is exactly what he had been fantasizing about. Once spirited and independent, she is a creature tirelessly living for just one purpose: to love him. She is a specter haunting Bear’s home—the horrific curdling of the perfect girlfriend. And now, after a litany of insane behavior, he is desperate for Nikki to change back.
Make no mistake: that 𝘖𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 works as well as it does rests firmly on lead Johnston’s shoulders. 𝘖𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 sets the stage for a new, exciting chapter for Johnston. We are witnessing the reinvention of a major talent who, until now, has been most widely recognized for his work on 𝘛𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘞𝘰𝘭𝘧.

Who’s excited for X-Men ‘97 S2?
I swear I’ve heard this voice before…
Coming Summer 2026!
I’ve been loving this song lately. 🥹 And it’s kind of nice with the dishwasher running in the background.

View Instagram Stories in Secret
The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
