Dr. John Holden faces one of the uprights at Stonehenge, realizing the runes carved there are identical to the ones on the parchment he holds.

‘It has been written, since the beginning of time, even unto these ancient stones, that evil, supernatural beings exist in a world of darkness.’ — 'Night of the Demon' (1957)

In the film, Dr. John Holden (Dana Andrews) visits Stonehenge, and realizes that he faces an ancient evil. #WyrdWednesday

Do we think Jack O’Connell auditioned for Sinners and Bone Temple and figured he wouldn’t land both parts?

Aaron Parks!

Alone, Ella and Georgia are creators who instantly get my attention. Working together? This is going to be incredible.

“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism.

The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

It just be said, @mooneylwrites.bsky.social and @stewartwpringle.bsky.social are consistently writing some of the best atmospheric horror @bigfinish.bsky.social has to offer. Bravo.

@davidault.co.uk I’m just now getting to “To the Flame” of SATD and the writing on this has some real punch to it. The humor is so well woven in to rhythm of the story and hearing you recite your anti-sweet tea argument in a story was delightful

PHANTOM PULSE - a 90s audio drama musical PHANTOM PULSE is a rock audio drama about love, death, and everything in between from Lauren Shippen, creator of The Bright Sessions.

one of the big reasons we're asking for so much money for Phantom Pulse is bc I want to do everything I can to make it a union production so my actors can potentially* get healthcare that I will also be paying for in part with the funds we raise with kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/aty...

My pleasure!

Re-watching THE SHIELD means getting to naturally reach the 'what other errands--' moment in the same way I hear watching Dexter does for the 'Surprise, Motherfucker' line.

Disgusting

Mark Gatiss, the boy that Dr Who books made The League of Gentlemen star and creator of Bookish on his work, snobbery in the arts, and advice for working-class writers.

Especially as a North East writer, it’s inspiring to read these words from Mark Gatiss, cheers Mark.
