young hugh grant and peter capaldi star in this weird ass late 80s british movie based on a 1911 novel by bram stoker (also wrote dracula) in which an archeologist (capaldi) discovers the skeleton of a giant worm creature which is featured in the townās mythology. while investigating some local disappearances it becomes apparent that the ancient worm might be to blame and that a mysterious lady might be summoning it with virgin sacrifices. crazy cool early green screen,Ā awesome costumes, low quality creatures and acting, whatās not to love?

GhostwatchĀ is a horror mockumentary that aired on BBC on October 31st in 1992 as if it were a real, live paranormal investigation ā mimicking shows like Most Haunted. It starts as a seemingly straightforward Halloween special, with actual BBC presenters Michael Parkinson in the studio, tuning into a āliveā investigation of a haunted houseā¦ but it spirals into something really chilling and intense.Ā
A lot of people missed the āthis is a work of fictionā warning at the start and assumed what was happening on TV was real. I think to this date itās the most complaints the BBC have ever received. Theyāve never aired it again.Ā
Itās the perfect Halloween watch! For the full effect go in blind, start at 9:25pm ā when the show originally aired ā and follow it up with a chaser of spending all night googling the lore š»Ā
I love it so much I made this zine around this time last year!

One of the best found footage horror mockumentaries I've ever seen. I got to watch it for the first time at a local independent theater and it still haunts me to this day! ~1,000,000 phone calls were made to BBC received after the show was broadcast... OnĀ Live TV. This shows how brilliant this film is.
For the Halloween season, I definitely recommend adding it to your watchlist!

i started hand-poke tattooing full-time in october after starting in 2020 when i realized literally anything can be a tattoo, and i cannot recommend dipping your toe into the culture and community of diy tattooing enough. the friends iāve made who also love off-beat designs and scrappy, fun tattoos are pushing boundaries on what tattoos can be, and i am so incredibly grateful to have these people in my life. i have yet to step foot in a traditional tattoo shop and i thank god for that (love trad style, hate the largely macho culture). iāll try to narrow down my recs to 5 within brooklyn: @stabs_bylili @julessportif @5_htpblanketsong @coolfriendtattoos.png @dastardly_child (and myself i guess lol @hidden_object__), but please just look for yourself, there are so many cool people doing cool things

i highly recommend: Ā āthe cameramanās revengeā (1912), la petite fille et son chat (1899), and the disturbing story of the dancing pig (1907).these videos project me back to another time and make me realize just how similar we are to past generations, yet so different. plots and gimmicks are intergenerational, styles are not. i recommend watching while a little high and with an open mind.
