Yorgos Lanthimos, Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons rejoin forces in BUGONIA, playing tonight in London at the LFF. This darkly goofy, paranoid, sci-fi mystery comedy is a rare example of a western remake that surpasses a Korean original (Save The Green Planet). Recommended!

My ★★★★ review from Venice:

Bugonia – Venice review

Yorgos Lanthimos remakes 2003’s Korean genre gem Save the Green Planet! for an age of managed decline, and produces a darkly comedic fable about the end of the world… or is it? ★★★★ Two young men (…

THE BLUNDERS (1976): A series of PIFs starring the titular family of careless drivers. Each episode veers from naff comedy to graphic horror as the unlucky victim is sent head-first through the windscreen. Extra point for the creepy 70s-era letchery in this episode, too.

The Hyperboreans, C. León/J. Cociña. (2024)
Le duo de La Casa Lobo confirme son talent pour explorer l’histoire du fascisme en Amérique du Sud, en mêlant animation et live. L’horreur, ici plus métatextuelle et sinueuse, rappelle Ghostwatch, Carpenter et le fantastique espagnol.

My *major* occult discovery POSSESSED, a novel by Rosalie and Edward Synton (real surname Corse-Scott), has a cover! It's out on December 4 - I'm *really* excited for you to read the book and my 5,000 word introduction which gives life to the authors and a critical overview of the novel.

you think Frankenstein's monster is going to do something unspeakable to this woman, but it turns out he is misunderstood - he just wants to try on her clothes 😭

Frankenstein carrying an unconscious woman who looks a hell of a lot like Crepax's Valentina up the stairs - the bubbles read "Lectores: A que estais temiendo por la vida (y por la virginidad) de Zita?" and "Pero estad tranquilos... los gustos de Frankenstein son diferentes (je je je)..."

Frankenstein's creature checking himself out in a full-length mirror wearing a garter belt, fishnet stockings, and stilettos, word bubble reads "¡Bel...lo!"

have been desperately looking for this old erotic Spanish comic I stumbled on almost 10 years ago called "El secreto de Frankenstein" and I'm so happy to report I finally found it

black & white comic panel depicting a sexy, thicc Frankenstein's monster disrobing in 3 different poses - pulling his shirt of his shoulder, seen at an angle; from the front, shirtless, beginning to take his pants off; then almost totally nude as seen from behind. the words at the top read "Strip-tease de Frankenstein..."

Studio Ghibli fell in love with this film and gave its director a movie deal. Master animators like Yuri Norstein call it a favorite.

Its name is Father and Daughter, and we've explored its story:

In Scottish folklore, golden butterflies were associated with good luck, with a sighting near a grave suggesting the soul was in heaven.
This piece came about after the loss of my mother, now resting with her Scottish mother.
