Clive Barker - Weaveworld (1987)
A magic world weaves itself and its people into an elaborate carpet that will be “unraveled” once its guardian (in our world) determines the coast is clear.
Incredible dark fantasy book with one of the best horror villains, Immacolata, I’ve ever seen in print.

The Coffee Table (dir by Caye Casas) (2022)
Wow. Just wow.
An incredibly grim and macabre drama. I will give it this, however: it’s well-directed and well-cast.
If you’re not a seasoned Lars von Trier film buff, it will be incredibly upsetting to watch.
Skipping the trailer because of spoilers.

John Carpenter’s The Fog (1980)
Horror in a small coastal town ensues when a mysterious fog rolls in and wreaks havoc with the MPAA’s rating system.
Iconic ‘80s horror with some good lore included. Nancy Kyes’ wisecracking assistant and John Houseman’s storyteller (clip below) are great.

Tron: Legacy (dir by Joseph Kosinski) (2010)
This film’s sequel, Tron: Ascension, was greenlit and ready to start filming in 2015, with the same director and cast returning, when Disney’s Tomorrowland movie bombed hard to the tune of a $120m-$150m loss, resulting in Tron: Ascension’s cancellation.

Assault on Precinct 13 (dir by John Carpenter) (1976)
Before Carpenter became known for horror flicks, he directed this low-budget suspense/action film about a small, remote police station besieged by an excessively well-armed gang.
Again, not a horror film, but surprisingly engaging. Don’t miss.

A man cries for help from behind a thoroughly locked basement door adorned with a huge wooden cross. Visiting relatives are concerned. Horror ensues.
The captive’s ID is nebulous, but you’ll definitely get closure at the end on this one. Recommended.

It Ends (dir by Alex Ullorn) (2025)
Excellent small-budget horror film about four friends going on a road trip…straight into Black Mirror-esque territory (minus the emphasis on the horrors of technology).
No movie trailer online to post as of this moment. Spoilers abound online, so go in cold.

Claude Debussy - Claire de Lune (1905)
I prefer the Claire recordings with a slower tempo, but this is Debussy performing his own work in 1913–via a reproducing piano, no less—so his version wins the Battle of Preference (as well as the war).
