I think a lot about Cushing as Van Helsing, in Brides Of Dracula, saying these words: "Only God has no fear." It's not a prayer, yet it is.

Whatever happened to Golau Glau (rhymes with "doll eye cry")?
They had a string of lovely Christmas hauntology EPs and a couple of fascinating albums, all exclusively digital. Last heard from in 2015 as far as I've been able to find. Hope they're well.

For about ten years I've thought about what a Tom Waits TV Christmas special produced in the early 80s would have been like. It's almost real to me. The set is a Depression-era shack he built and a stream of celebrity hobos keep knocking on the door and Tom goes "I wOnDEr WHo tHaT cOuLd bE"
