The scariest thing about that was how your link managed to make the site code say it was on page 1.6. |

Bumping this because of the season and Indeksical's mic drop of a ghost story, and looking for fresh recommendations. Speaking of Ghost Stories, the English anthology movie Ghost Stories (2017) is wonderful. I'm re-watching it knowing everything that happens and it's almost... Scarier. In other Ghost news I'm reading The Fisherman by John Langan and it's fantastic. I don't wanna say it's Lovecraftian but there are some Lovecraftian aspects. Lovecraft would never write such a chilled, laid back down to earth narrator though, so that's refreshing, it isn't told from the perspective of a neurotic genteel academic with a poker up his butt. |

Really curious how they'd stage such a thing. The sets would need to be so elaborate. I'm in a Shirley Jackson mood this month. Will probably re-read The Haunting of Hill House, possibly watch the 1963 movie if I can.. heh... scare up a copy. |

I'm reading , a short story collection. Barron wrote the story that They Remain (2018) is based on, a great and creepy movie with a Boards of Canada vibe, and I wanna say, some of the weird hollow sadness of Space 1999. (yes I'm pandering to Roger Wilco here) It got poor reviews because people want easy answers and closure. Oh well. The story --30-- that movie is based on is in here, and a bunch of others, and they are good. They all have that weird fiction disturbing off kilter feel, there are well defined stories and ideas here but he doesn't bang you over the head with things. Instead the horrible truths coalesce slowly. Sometimes he reminds me of Dennis Etchison and Steve Rasnic Tem, two of the legendary weirdos of the 80s horror paperback era. Highly recommended. |

good call i've seen two 'ghosts'; both were modern-day looking people going about modern-day things. One was dressed like a townie, the other looked like like he was having some type of an episode in a parked car that turned out to be empty. I was on only endorphins, 'cos both times i had walked for several hours. Both times, the people I saw just seemed ... sad. The most inexplicable, interesting, lovecraftian thing that has happened around me was when a big bunch of bare footprints in red mud (nothing like it in the area) showed up in JUST the corner of a room, in a weird perma-damp, moldy dark house at the bottom of a valley, after a load of us all did so much booze+mushrooms we all blacked out simultaneously for about 6 hours. Got out of there fucking quick after that. looking fwd 2 halloween as always there's some new HD film of Screamin Lord Such on YT now, not that fussed tho... Screamin' Jay all the way |
