The October Spooktacular is here once again. Join us as we talk about Michael Mann's 1983 movie The Keep, featuring Ian McKellen, Jurgen Prochnow, Gabriel Byrne, a sick Tangerine Dream soundtrack, amazing special effects, a difficult production, and a confusing, chopped up story.

Yes. This. I suggest you support queer metal artists like @allieinchains.bsky.social, @fourthdominion.bsky.social, and @melpomene-band.bsky.social. #metalsky

Jeremy Ghost Shipp @jeremycshipp.bsky.social · 23d

As always, today is a good day to support a writer, an artist, a creator. If you have the means, commission an art piece, leave a tip, buy a book. Or you can always signal boost their work or write them a nice comment.

the album cover is, in fact, perfect. I felt like @helveticablanc.bsky.social was pulling it straight out of my head. we were going for like, a Homogenic by Björk meets ObZen by Meshuggah thing, and they nailed it without me ever even saying that.

remember when the lyricist of the band was found interacting with a bunch of crazy right wing shit, and now the moral of their new record is essentially "politics bad. just chill bro. it's not that serious why do you even have an opinion"
