My #Letterboxd top four for the month of November
I thoroughly enjoyed Dickey's "Ghostland" and am curious to see if I enjoy this as well. Russell is an author I've recently discovered, "Incubus" and "The Case Against Satan" being dark, pulpish, and gripping reads, plus a forward from del Toro is a recommendation I can't ignore.

Last Sunday, Sweetness and I went to Barnes & Noble, and I found this banger of a tome.

The best ghost stories are the ones structured like campfire tales. Sparse, yet, lived in, with an atmosphere thick enough to cut with a knife. Anyhoo, I watched THE SIGNALMAN last night and it gave me the legit chills. Denholm Elliot is at turns heartbreaking and unaffected.

Funny how shit like a sheet floating by itself, or someone standing off in the distance out of nowhere, is enough to give me legit creeps. The simplest effect is often the most evocative.

#2 WITCHBOARD 2: THE DEVIL'S DOORWAY (1993) Dir. Kevin Tenney
Someone saw EVIL DEAD 2 before making their sequel. A sequel in name only, mostly retreads the the same story with a few twists. The Jewish Occultist was a scream. Sadly, Tenney doesn't give Dolenz the same fits he gave Kitaen.

Spooky Season '25 #1 ALUCARDA (1977) Dir. Juan Lopez Moctzezuma Be gay, be blasphemous, burn the fascist fuckers! More movies should have their exposition dumps during flagellation scenes.

Seeing some new trend about battling doom scrolling and I don't know. All I've got is I just watched Peter Sykes's 1972 Hammer classic TO THE DEVIL...A DAUGHTER and I gotta say, that'll do it! It was shot by David Watkin who lensed CATCH-22 if that does anything for you-and it should!

Finally bought the DVD to QUATERMASS AND THE PIT. A buttload of commentaries including one with Nigel Kneale himself! The cherry on top is the cover: a good ol' fashioned mismash of pulpish delight that is at once totally not the vibe of the film at all while somehow nailing the vibe of the film!

The picture does not fully convey the texture of the book, which is in of itself, worth the buy. Shout out to @mzspress.bsky.social for putting this book on my radar. A book I'll dive into after I finish the Didion and Ellison I'm currently plowing through.

Just watched my first Chantal Akerman movie, HOTEL MONTEREY (1972). As a child I wandered around the Adam's Mark hotel across from Kauffman Stadium while my stand attended Single Adult Fellowship (Don't ask). All of this is by way of saying, potent sense memories with this one.

The people who are stunned that Pamela Anderson is funny in THE NAKED GUN -she is btw; she's fucking hysterical-clearly haven't watched V.I.P.

Watched my fourth Tavernier film, a documentary he did with Robert Parrish, MISSISSIPPI BLUES. The doc is an intimate exploration of the South, and the Blues, with Tavernier utterly uninterested in anything grandiose or trite. An intimate portrait of working-class southern Blacks in 1984.
