The only Halloween meme anyone needs

Monty Python: John Cheese leading a TV talk show. "Is there life after death? Here to discuss it are three dead people." In the studio with him are three inanimate men slumped in chairs.

The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, literally (yes, I do mean literally) while posting this, a notification popped up to tell me that Chelsea have scored against Spurs. Boo..and #COYS

Joy in a dark world. I thought I'd missed this, but it's actually today not yesterday :)

Today I'm doing a talk about Women and the (early) Gothic and it might be time for a list!

So here are ten early women writers of the Gothic to give an idea of the range of things that women were creating in the period!

One from the October vaults! The undoubted king of the spooky vinyl was Vincent Price who appeared on over a dozen scarifying LPs narrating tales of terror!

What gorgeous light! Although possibly a very cold day? Looks like the trek was worth it though, lovely pics.

Goodnight from Edgar Bord, looking forward to committing some serious sin ahead of tomorrow’s tide-washing mass. Goodnight from those squatting Coreham’s derelict Roxy Cinema, unaware in sleep of the tuts and swooping torch beam of its phantom usherette. Goodnight from Hookland.

Inflatable costumes as a sign of resistance. Frogs, I salute you!

I'm also reminded of that person in Spain during the first (and in Spain, extremely punitive) Covid lockdown, who took out their rubbish everyday wearing a dinosaur costume (there'll be footage somewhere). I applaud you once more.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!
