Here we go! October Horror Binge 2025 #Filmsky 📽️

Best month of the year. 31 days of fear! 🎃 🔪 👻

1) The Ring (2002, dir. Gore Verbinski)

Starting with a rewatch of an old favourite, which we've just picked up on 4K.

Poster for The Ring. A grainy recording of a young girl in a white nightdress, standing in a field. Her long, black hair hangs down over her face, obscuring all her features. Behind her is an old, brick well, with trees in the background. The picture is coloured an eerie blue, and an uneven ring of white light circles the girl.

Carole Malone, "Youu can't say what women's rights are because you're not a woman"

Zack Polanski, "You're not trans are you. We can all say you're not that thing so you can't have an opinion" 🔥

"You can still have an opinion from listening to people"

Carole Malone may be a woman, but she doesn't speak for me.

Zack seems to be doing better representing my interests as a woman and otherwise.

Carry on Zack

Yeah, only thing I don't like is not being able to put my playlists into groups/folders, but it's no big deal.

Yep. The independent + greens would've taken it by 57 votes last time. And that's when a lot of people actually thought Labour might be okay.

This was something I thought was going to be a real pain in the arse, as I'm hopeless with technology and figuring out new apps/sites etc.

I moved from Spotify to Deezer, and moving everything across was really easy.

My DMs are open for anyone who wants help transferring their library to another platform - it is not difficult, nor is it scary.

The fuckass status on Discord is not worth it at this point

I do think that perception is starting to change, thankfully, even among those usually not that engaged with them. My Dad's always dismissed them for that very reason, but even he's on board now, and I'm seeing plenty of his mates, other died-in-the-wool Labour voters of 50+ years doing the same.

They're actually engaging with it for the first time. Friends who've just voted Labour out of habit for decades, waking up to the idea that there is actually a point to supporting someone else.

Long may it continue.

It's been great seeing the messaging start to cut through to people I know who aren't that online, certainly not here/Twitter anyway.

Friends who've never been persuaded to get involved in party politics have been talking about stuff from Greens they've seen on Insta, and are signing up.

When I said we weren't here to be disappointed with Labour but to replace them. I meant it.

Didn't realise it from was from a recorded interview. Yeah, it didn't sound credible written down anyway, but come on, it's so obvious from her dismissiveness that's she's lying. What a dickhead.

Keira Knightley cares so little about trans people that she couldn't even be bothered to prep an answer about working w/ Rowling & just seemed very angry to be asked. And no, I don't believe that she didn't know. Come on. www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/co...

Nigel Farage said he was going to ‘don khaki, pick up a rifle and hit the frontline’ against the government if Brexit didn't happen.

Amazing whose threats get taken seriously, isn't it?

70) Escapes (1986, dir. David Steensland) #Filmsky 📽️

I hope they didn't blow all the budget on this clearly excellent poster.

Poster for Escapes. The poster has a really crap graphic of some mountains under a purple sky. The title is written in purple in a black banner over a purple circle, which looks a little like a large moon hanging in the sky. At the bottom is a photo of Vincent Price, wearing a black suit, with his hands clasped together. Next to him is written "This newly released director's cut starring Vincent Price and John Mitchum has 16 minutes of additional footage"

It's going to be interesting seeing all the centrists who bang on about tactical voting trying to obfuscate over the fact that the Greens will be the best tactical vote in most seats by the next election
