Honorable mention: The Hugga Bunch Movie, which just radiates evil
Four frame photo. Top left, a human child sitting on a bed with a massive pink-haired doll head floating in the foreground. Top right, same child and doll standing side by side but the doll looks normal size. Bottom left, child standing in a landscape that can only be described as a shroom-induced nightmare. Bottom right, a witch obviously ripped off from the Snow White cartoon

What is a mostly-forgotten movie you watched a lot as a child?

Mine's The Great Land of Small (1987)--starring Michael J. Anderson!

Working on writing up my review, but TL;DR: Tales of Occult Britain is great! A beautifully produced volume of short stories intended as a companion for the Hellebore Guide to Occult Britain. Read if you love @helleborezine.bsky.social, folklore, folk horror, and stories with a sense of place.

Screenshot of a tweet: Have you seen the new show? It's on Tubu. It's literally on Heebee. It's on Poodee with ads. It's literally on Dippy. You can probably find it on Weeno. Dude it's on Gumpy. It's a Pheebo original. It's on Poob. You can watch it on Poob. You can go to Poob and watch it. Log onto Poob right now. Go to Poob. Dive into Poob. You can Poob it. It's on Poob. Poob has it for you. Poob has it for you.

Well, this is delightful.

A show about a neurodivergent-coded perimenopausal woman who takes a folkloric journey of self-discovery? Was this written just for me? Maybe!

The Woman in the Yard is two-thirds of a great movie. Promising family drama, tense and claustrophobic setting, a mysterious supernatural villain. Not to mention some nice use of daytime scares. But the third act really falls apart!
