@eofftv.bsky.social @bunnydarke.bsky.social @evolutionofhorror.bsky.social Peter Cushing leaping over tables & swinging from windmills is impressive n’ all, but he just isn’t up there with Sylvia sending those Fox Hunters in the wrong direction. Bravo!👏 👏 🦊. #SensitivityToTheWellfareOfWildAnimals.

A few years ago, I wrote a piece about love magic on screen, and with Curry Barker's new movie Obsession currently in cinemas and getting a lot of love from horror fans and beyond, this felt like the perfect time to revisit and reshare it. Just dropped for free on my Patreon patreon.com/bunnydarke

I think zines are starting to come back as an outlet for post-AI, punk-rock art (that can't be scooped into training AI models). Got another one on the way, planning my own later in the year. These are by the very rad @bunnydarke.bsky.social #nowreading #filmsky
