The original poster, with a serif font and deeper blues and greens

The modern poster, with a sans serif font utterly devoid of personality and a dreadful colour scheme

I used to live in a house which had a poster of Dylan Thomas’s Fern Hill in the bathroom. Gorgeous illustrations and text, perfect midcentury style. I just found out the poster is still sold, with an updated typeface and cleaner colours and BLARGH, it looks awful in comparison.

Schism! I still love you both though X

Whattt! I’ve been crushing on him and his silver temples since I was a teen! James Mason, on the other hand, 😒

Thank you! I haven’t seen this in years, but might explore beforehand.

I live for this midcentury TV clips about witchcraft. I am certain that he man in the beret owned the unabridged version of The Golden Bough and had personally met Margaret Murray.

I am certain that he owned the unabridged version of The Golden Bough and had personally met Margaret Murray on a few occasions. The Freudian candles! I cackled.

Exactly! I feel I need to show him something slightly more gothic, but not too disturbing.

I rewatched it recently. It’s a fun one, very festive!
