I’ve got The Evictors in the skillet. Working on my Charles B. Pierce collection. I saw his daughter speak at a Bigfoot conference. That was a weird day.

A dvd: The Evictors
Picture: a dark figure with a hat carries a limp woman in a yellow dress. In the background is a large white farm house and some leafless trees.

The Shiver of the Vampire (1971) I’ve seen other Rollin films but I somehow missed this one? In the right mood this could be my new favorite movie. *note to self: buy velvet dress and candelabra

Movie Poster: The Shiver of the Vampires
Picture: drawn / painted in a vaguely art deco style - a winged woman with big rosy buttocks is central- various characters are seen in the background including groovy vampires and women carrying candelabras.

if you see this, post a female super hero

Fire star: female superhero with long red hair, red mask, red gloves, and a yellow jumpsuit

That's what a good horror story can give you: a way to deal with your fears. Proof that you can conquer the things that scare you. Helpful ways to deal with your monsters— even if one of your fears is that you'll turn into a monster, too.
-Alma Katsu

Hey friends, this book is fascinating. I’m so grateful to these essays for helping to expand the vocabulary and dialogue I use to explain my love of horror to others. And my TBR list has been vastly expanded! #horror #books

Book cover: Why I Love Horror (Essays on Horror Literature)
Edited by Becky Siegel Spratford

Picture: a large dark ominous figure holds the hand of a smaller dark faceless being (childlike?)

This though… thought about this too much. You can’t just stick this image in your movie with no explanation…

A woman in a purple dress sit in a tavern on a wooden bench at a wooden table below a window. She is holding a cup and she is blindfolded (?)

A small pink cutting board on which sits; half a cucumber, a paring knife, and a piece of wasa slathered with cream cheese , sliced cucumbers, and everything bagel seasoning- all of this is in a rough wooden table.

Oh, how sweet. I love yours too! 😊 My boys are definitely lovers. 😉

I love it. Look I have two similar baby boys.

So… I am in Montana.

A view of evergreens and mountains with a glacier in the distance. Blue sky , wispy white clouds.

A young black bear standing on a log with green trees and brush in the background.

A brilliant turquoise colored lake and huge cliff face covered in orange and white lichens. At the base of the cliff are a few conical evergreens.
Lichens are awesome.

Fresh local peaches and cinnamon Life. I wait for this all year. It’s divine.

A bowl of cereal with the cereal box in the background. The cereal is cinnamon Life, the bowl is white and cracked, the cereal is topped by small chunks of fresh peach and milk.

Hold up… am I tripping? #capitalism #dystopian #whatishappening

Frozen product box: “crystal clear frozen ice cubes” “4 cubes” “slow melting”
yeah, WTF?

I’m swooning over my new Zinnia color. (The MOST old lady thing I have said thus far.) #flowers #zinnias

A Zinnia flower- large- very pale pinky- beige and small yellow stamens (?)
The background is slightly blurred leaves and plants in varying shades of green.

Hell yeah.

Teralita@teralita· Jun 29

My favorite part.

Had the opportunity to see this on the big screen last night. I’m glad I went. It’d been 10 years since I had seen it and DAMN it’s one satisfying horror movie. It scratches all my itches. Delightful! #gingersnaps #werewolves #horror

Movie Poster: “Ginger Snaps” not a photograph- drawn/painted
Image: background: a gruesome and fanged mouth dripping blood. Bottom: two teenage girls sitting on twin beds and facing each other. They are clasping hands. On each side is a shoulder up portrait of each girl’s face. On left is Ginger - red hair, blue eyes , necklaces, defiant look. On right : Bridgette:dark hair, brown eyes,an angry expression

I love the burning wax women scene. Inventive and fun stuff.

Wax model of a woman, on fire, burning and melting. From the movie: Mill of the Stone Women

Lady at garage sale laughed when I bought this. Poorly made old plastic toys bring me joy. I didn’t try to explain. #plastic #toys #plastictoys

An old plastic toy: yellow wagon, black wagon wheels, beige cowboy / farmer - his hands are raised as though holding reins. This is on a blue checked table cloth with some glass tubes in the background.

I have watched some amazing horror in the last six months - but to narrow it down - here are two more recent releases that were delightfully creepy.

Movie poster : Hokum

Lots of little ghoulish faces

Dog Soldiers 2002 Atmosphere A+ Acting B+ Plot C Subtracting points for two too long gunfire scenes. It’s “Dog Soldiers”. Some folks get off on gunfire. But during those scenes I felt like I was watching someone else play a video game. I don’t like that feeling. Loved the campfire stories though.
