We know we should post about our books, but we're not in the best mood for it. The plan was to at least publish Book 7 and then discuss the future of An Introduction to the Fine Art of Monster Slaying. We're so close to finishing it yet it just feels pointless.🙁

Recently watched: Tell Me Your Name / Dime Tu Nombre (2025)

This series had enough spooky elements but squandered them. The jinn were a nice change from the usual Christian demons, but in the end, it didn't really make a difference.

Most of these are older. I need some current vampire work.

I decided that a couple of posts weren't enough for The Exorcist: Believer (2023), and so wrote a longer, more detailed review. Link:

I finally finished writing my thoughts on Down There (Lá-bas), Joris-Karl Huysmans' 19th century novel featuring Satanism, medieval serial murder, and really bad sex. The post turned out very long thanks to the quotes. Link:
Down There / Lá-bas
My thoughts on Joris-Karl Huysmans' novel Down There / Lá-bas, which features conversations about Satanism and Gilles de Rais, and became infamous for its depiction of a Black Mass.

Finished it! Hyacinthe was just embarrassing. Des Hermies was right when he said something was missing from Canon Docre's Black Mass. They didn't have to be as extreme as Gilles de Rais, but not even a goat or sheep sacrifice?

Finished Chapter 18 of 22. Hyacinthe Chantelouve is better in person and that subplot does connect to the Satanists. I'm still not buying her infatuation with Durtal; the sex is clearly terrible, so what is she getting out of this?

Still reading Down There by Huysmans. Things were going in an interesting direction with mentions of satanism and more of Gilles de Rais' story, but now Durtal is obsessing over a woman who's writing him really annoying letters.😒

Remembering J.G. Ballard, born OTD 1930.
I’ve been reading his work for many years & I can readily appreciate why many qualify his writing as ‘timeless’.
And I can think of no better imagery to accompany this post than the equally timeless appeal of David Pelham’s superlative cover art 🙂

Clearly we're not as smart as our own characters, but we eventually realised that leaving the vampire unrestrained didn't make much sense. So, we had to go back and correct that oversight and now Kit is safely chained.

The Exorcist: Believer

Lukewarm + predictable. Yeah, yeah, Victor + Angela's story is very touching, but there was clearly a lot more going on with Katherine possession wise and the movie’s decision not to show much of it was just weird.

We should’ve been working on our evil pizzas/sex demons graphic novel but instead ended up writing some new blog posts. One of them is about our thoughts on Mike Flanagan's particular brand of #horror. It includes a review of Ouija: Origin of Evil. Link:

For some reason, I decided it was a good idea to re-watch Elektra (2005). I had forgotten how annoying Abby was, and also dumb. She knows she and her father are on the run from killers and so she... breaks into her new neighbour's house + tries to steal stuff? Seriously?🙄

Dead Silence (2007)

Happy couple Jamie and Lisa receive an unmarked package with a ventriloquist's dummy and instead of immediately burning it, decide to keep it.😒 Unsurprisingly, Lisa ends up dead and tongueless shortly after.

Happy Halloween!🎃 Since I'm currently reading Down There by Joris-Karl Huysmans. I decided that today's horror movie should be As Above, So Below (2014). The story is creepy, but that setting would’ve made anything scary.😱

Evil Dead Rise (2023)

We know enough about the ED franchise to know that this movie has a more serious tone. We liked most of it: Possessed Ellie was creepy as were the book + records; there was plenty of bloody violence; and the tension was high.😱

Here's another one of the 3 reviews we posted yesterday. It's of horror sci-fi anime TV series Summer Time Rendering (2022). We liked most of it, but the ending was just too tidy. Link:

Just (re)watched: The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)

Yep, still spooky. Great atmosphere, all the weirdness surrounding the body was really creepy (the writing inside!), and of course, those damned ankle bells.😱
