The cover of the book "S(p)lasher Flicks: The Swimming Pool in Horror Cinema" featuring a large image from the 2009 film JENNIFER'S BODY in which the possessed teenager Jennifer, dressed in a bloodied and water-drenched prom dress, floats on top of the water in an indoor swimming pool.

Wait 30 minutes after eating, and mind that alligator. "S(p)lasher Flicks: The Swimming Pool in Horror Cinema" collects 100+ films that take a dive into the deep end like TERRORVISION, TASTE OF FEAR & JENNIFER'S BODY. @cullenwade.bsky.social @mcfarland.bsky.social

La prueba de que lo bueno se hace esperar es que ha tenido que llegar el final del 2025 para que se estrene la película más fascinante del año. Si tenéis oportunidad no os perdáis Balearic, de Ion Sosa, os dará mucho más de lo que podéis imaginar.

The cover of the book "Comebacks: The Return of the Aging Film Star" featuring an image from the film WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? In which Joan Crawford and Bette Davis appear as their heavily made-up, late-middle-aged characters, looking desperately out a window at something unseen.

Older, sleazier, witchier. "Comebacks" celebrates aging stars like the BABY JANE duo, the terror of Alida Valli (SUSPIRIA), and Carole Baker slumming it in Italian erotic thrillers. New #WayneStateUP #GloriaMonti #MartinShingler @darklonelywater.bsky.social

A screenshot of the article "Mouths & Mirrors in Ryan Coogler's Sinners" featuring an image from the film. Sammie, a young black man, is dressed in 1920s garb, strumming a banjo, and singing with great feeling. A happy juke joint party is seen behind him.

Bulldozed corpses and unmarked graves, CNN investigates the fate of Gaza’s missing aid seekers | CNN Ammar Wadi knew he was risking his life when he set out to get a bag of flour for his family from an aid truck near the Zikim crossing into Gaza in June.

La investigación de la CNN deja en evidencia la atrocidad que cometió Israel en Zikim. Atrajo a miles de palestinos a los hipotéticos centros de ayuda humanitaria para asesinarlos a tiros y después enterrarlos en fosas comunes con excavadoras. #Gaza www.cnn.com/2025/12/03/m...

Se cumplen 16 años sin mi añorado Paul Naschy. Justo hoy, pero en 1973, se pasaba “La marca del hombre lobo” en el cine Oscar de Londres, con el título de “Hell’s Creatures”. La mejor forma de homenajearle es que su cine se sigue viendo.

Surrealism Against Fascism • EQUATOR A century ago, artists who survived the trenches captured humanity’s capacity for destruction. What can they teach us about confronting the far-right in a new age of genocide?

A very readable, deeply-informed piece by Naomi Klein that combines genocide, the Surrealists, fascism then and now -- and Mamdani.

Cierro una etapa importante. La colección Filmografías Esenciales, que he tenido el privilegio de dirigir, llega a su fin tras una década, casi setenta títulos y muchas complicidades.
En la imagen comparto unas palabras de balance y agradecimiento.
Gracias a quienes habéis acompañado este viaje.

Me apena profundamente… Filmografías Esenciales ha sido un referente para toda una generación de cinéfilos y académicos. Ojalá seamos capaces de crear otros espacios para continuar la conversación 💔
