I just discovered it earlier this year!

A ★★ review of The Monster Of Frankenstein (1981)

I like the big changes to the story. There are Son of Frankenstein influences with Victor Frankenstein following in his father's footsteps and trying to vindicate that work. But it turns out that dad ...

If you wanna come on a podcast and talk about it, I know I guy.

And that would be the motivation I need to watch Season 2.

The Sixth Sense is unbeatable for me, but The Village is easily my next favorite.

Comics in the Spooky Age 🧛🧟‍♀️👻 @comicsinthega.bsky.social · 1d

Cover by Ken Bald.

Forbidden Worlds #11 (1952). On the cover, a mummy is coming out of a sarcophagus towards a man cowering before him. He shouts “it was you…who disturbed…my rest! And now…you must pay!”

I did not see that coming, either. I assumed that this is the foot they'd turn to:

I'll definitely watch more. He's an interesting director, that's for sure.

Ride the High Country will probably be my next one, though I'm curious about Straw Dogs and Convoy too.

I've seen Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (which I liked) and The Wild Bunch (which I didn't). Someone recommended Cable Hogue as a different kind of Peckinpah and they were right.

I've also seen Cincinnati Kid and didn't care for it, even though I love the cast.

🍃 Flora of Middle Earth 🍃

Another piece for my fandom flower posters. I really enjoyed working on this one in particular though, since I grew up surrounded by Tolkien's work!~

Bring back book covers of women in flowy dresses running from graveyards and haunted castles.

A collage of pulp gothic romance book covers. Most have the stereotypical woman in a white gown running from a creepy castle or graveyard.

Giving Peckinpah another try.

A ★★★ review of The Ballad of Cable Hogue (1970)

I keep a long list of Westerns to watch, but I don't always remember how some movies got on it. I think this was recommended by a Hellbent for Letterbox listener as an unusual Sam Peckinpah film since...
