Fueled by the desire to record a single with Harper and cement their
This year I joined a 100 Days of Horror challenge, with a goal of seeing a new to me horror film every day from the end of September through October 31. Click to check out the first 50 here, and below are the rest! WOLF’S HOLE (Vlčí bouda – 1986)Directed by Věra Chytilová A group
I love a collection of weird, wonderful — and of course, BLOODY shorts — and North Bend Film Fest is delivering this year! Here’s a list of my faves from their 2021 Shorts Packages: FROM SHORTS 1: BEYOND THE VOID STUFFED, Directed by Theo RhysA dark musical about a taxidermist who solicits a human volunteer
{cross-posted to Three Imaginary Girls} “I know how I look. What’s wrong with that?” Last night I finally go to see Nicolas Winding Refn’s epic shock porn horror art piece, The Neon Demon, which many of the people at Cannes deemed as “trash,” and walked out of.

Scraping together money to start their new life together, young married couple Molly and Tim
{Cross-posted to Three Imaginary Girls} While I think overall The Pact is a solid thriller, it’s also one of those movies that’s way better if you don’t know too much about it.
