This made me smile. Because I’m twisted.

Is it deeply flawed? Well, yes. From timeline issues, to acting, to script, to the vintage 1972 posters of Beck and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Not to mention a rather unthreatening denouement. Nonetheless, Anthony M. Winson has created this homage to 70s haunted house films with great love. He gets the feel exactly right–that slightly surreal, claustrophobic atmosphere. The music is also spot on. And the final test–it had a couple good scares.  My tolerance for long amateur films is short, but I watched this all the way through, delighting in his tropes and nods.

Yeah yeah, it’s way late for Christmas, but it’s what was in the queue.

I forget why I searched youtube for the words “graveyard girl,” but doing so made this enthusiastic, kinda fun chick pop up. I dug back through some of her Halloween posts. Here are some cool shoes.

A very silly web series by PBS.

She does the kind of seances I would love to do–all the tricks to freak you out. I also love how she explains cold reading to a believer.

I adore the depiction of death in this lovely animation.

Also, today you get a bonus. This is from my music blog, The Daily Worm. Watch Kate MacDowell make a skull bunny.
