and fuck it, some 2025 dungeon synth / DS-adjacent albums I really enjoyed:

Eryhtrite Throne - The Thirteenth Malefic Verse of Abaddon

Ghoest - The Majestic End

Lone Sentinel - Vampyric Obsolescence

Ka'Bael & Witch Bolt - The Mourning Star
Erythrite Throne album cover showing Wyrm holding a big sword! Ghoest album cover, a black and white photo of a crumbling stone building Lone Sentinel album cover, an illustration of a demon, angel, or winged vampire being? something with wings, and it's night and it's foggy out there Ka'Bael and Witch Bolt album cover: a cloaked and bearded skeleton sage pondering his orb

lots of other great albums this year too. hard to narrow it down. off the top of my head, some of my favorites:

Hooded Menace - Lachrymose Monuments of Obscuration
Lust Hag - Irrevocably Drubbed
Tyler the Creator - Don't Tap the Glass
Lamp of Murmuur - The Dreaming Prince in Ecstasy
Hooded Menace album cover with a bunch of purple specters emerging from a tomb's liquid tears (also the tomb is spitting out a bunch of bats? hell yeah, heavy metal rules!) Lust Hag album cover with an illustration of someone's head getting smashed in by a fucking hammer (hell yeah, heavy metal rules!) Tyler the Creator album cover with a strange caricature / collage style image of the man himself, wearing red pants, gold chain, and a hat that says "GLASS" Lamp of Murmuur album cover depicting, I suppose, a dreaming prince in ecstasy (also an eyeball in the sky is looking down at him - spooky!)

it's December so I'm calling it now:

Vaelastrasz - Death In Its Decadence

album of the year. no question about it. vaelastrasz.bandcamp.com/album/death-...
album cover for Death In Its Decadence, showing Vael's hand resting on a dagger (badass) and there are black candles around (Satanic, witchy), and there's a mirror surface (pensive, reflective)

what the fuck is this thumbnail?
thumbnail for Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 on Prime Video, which makes it look like some kind of 2000s thriller instead of the movie we all know and love

I'm in Atlantic Canada so all the crosswords themselves are in English but the names, rules, etc. are all printed in English then French

in Quebec, they'd all be French crosswords tho (like this one)

and I'm not sure about the other provinces but I imagine they're all in English

nothing special happening up here today, so I'm watching Slashlorette Party (2020)
poster-style cover image for Slashlorette Party, complete with creases to mimic poster folds. it's got a bunch of ladies (including a scantily-clad bride-to-be), a guy with a knife and a mask, and Ginger Lynn Allen looking straight at you

a 1979 track called "Insufficient Data" is probably awesome. wish we could hear it :(
snippet from the Wikipedia entry for the KISS album Dynasty, which reads: "Ace Frehley recorded and submitted a five-track demo with "Hard Times", "Save Your Love", a cover of "2000 Man", "Backstage Pass" and "Insufficient Data". Three of the songs are on Dynasty, while the last two remain unreleased."

VHS cover for KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park (1978), with Gene and Peter on the cover - an unlikely pairing if you ask me. tagline: "This dynamic rock group makes their film debut battling a demented genius inventor!"

three things (among many) I really like about this movie:

* the people making and watching snuff films all look like aggressively ordinary
* no explanation given for why there's a town full of snuff enthusiasts, they're all just fans of it
* one of the snuff films has title cards
screenshot from Video Violence (1987) showing the first title card for one of the in-movie snuff films. it reads "Little Zach Productions"

okay not only have I seen this, but I think it's the movie I was trying to track down when I was looking up snuff films a little while ago. so that's neat
a post of mine from a month ago: "nw because I saw it on a list of movies about snuff films" and it's the movie Vacancy

nw Video Violence (1987) and I cannot for the life of me remember if I've seen this before
DVD cover for Video Violence from Camp Motion Pictures, part of their Retro 80s Horror Collection apparently. cover art is a bloodied hand putting a video cassette into a very complex player - looks like something that would've been for video production instead of home use. taglines are: "Could this happen at your video store?" and "...When renting is not enough!!"
