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.

I love that move (ghost stories), am gonna try and see the
stage version. Never seen a horror play before.

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 Occultation by Laird Barron, 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

noted
watched that 'Haunting in Venice' or whatever it's called,
Poirot thing, and it was shite... was quite annoying too cos
i pushed to watch it round someone's house
can't think of a decent ghost film in recent years
that one with Martin Freeman and Paul Whitehouse in was
alright
