It's true. We don't even require the monkeys to have a license.

This year, I challenged myself to create a "Starry Night" inspired Mari Lwyd for the @skullsandsheets.bsky.social charity auction event! This was a lot of fun ❀️

Coloured pencils, gouache and micron fineliner.

It's an interesting film. I don't know that you would feel the same - do we ever, when it comes to formative experiences - but I'd give it a try.

The White ReindeerΒ (1952) A hunter spots his quarry on the snowy, Finnish landscape. The white reindeer stands still, watching as he raises his rifle – takes aim – fires. The rifle explodes; the hunter screams. Through bloodied eyes, he sees that it is no reindeer at all, but rather a beautiful woman who laughs wildly at his misfortune and sends him fleeing across the snow. So goes the pivotal scene of the 1952 Finnish folk horror film, Valkoinen peura or The White Reindeer. The feature film debut of director Erik Blomberg, it was also his only horror film – and one of the first Finnish genre movies.

The Lurking FearΒ (1994) Full Moon films are always something of a risk. You never really know what you're getting - other than Jeffrey Combs. That said, Jeffrey Combs is usually worth taking a chance on. Thankfully, that's the case with 1994's The Lurking Fear. Combs' turn as the alcoholic doctor, Haggis, is the highlight of this weird little film. And I do mean little - it's quite short, but it makes the most of its tight runtime. Ostensibly based on the short story of the same name by HP Lovecraft, the film quickly spirals off into a strange hybrid of…

Just tossing this out there...any publishers interested in a collection of Manly Wade Wellman inspired stories about a South Carolina ghostbreaker? Got haints, witches and devils of all stripes. Written by me, obviously, over the course of the last twenty years or so.
