Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today

It's an odd mix of an instructional documentary with fever dream portrayals of what actual satantic witch coven get-togethers would be like. A true WTF roller coaster. Enjoy!

All over the European map this #LastFourWatched with a horror/documentary from Sweden, an unfunny horror comedy from Norway, a banger from Spain and a slumming Christopher Lee in the usual Hammer pseudo-Germany where everyone talks and acts like Englishmen. #LetterboxdFriday #FilmSky #MovieSky

I used to get mad when people misused "decimated" to refer to things that weren't 1/10th destroyed, but I've given it some thought and now I've done a complete 360 on it

Been searching more than four decades for a horror anthology that can match or outdo Creepshow (1982). The closest I've seen so far is Trick 'r Treat (2007). And you can see that it didn't appear for me in this #LastFourWatched. Still, I've had worse #LetterBoxdFridays.

I kinda went with a games theme this week for my #lastfourwatched. The result is that I didn't lose #LetterboxdFriday, but I also didn't win.

Let's call it a draw.

When I post my #lastfourwatched, they are films I'm seeing for the first time. I don't note rewatches.

The process of forced variety can be fantasic or fraught. For this week's #letterboxdFriday, it was both. #FilmSky #MovieSky 🌎

A #DragonCon salute to the talented @schweizercomics.bsky.social, who produced an art book I didn't realize I needed. If you even *kinda* like swords, this is a fun compilation of historic blades. #BookSky πŸ—‘πŸ—‘πŸ—‘ #Sharp

you really couldn't make many movies from 40-50 years ago today. this is due to the unavailability of certain discontinued film stocks and the deaths of many principal actors, directors, and other various crew members
