My reward after a very long day 🦇🦇🦇

Once again annoyed that none of my streaming services is offering this:

With Werner Herzog's NOSFERATU THE VAMPYRE (1979) out on 4K UHD/Blu-ray from 22 September via BFI, here is a cross-section of ten German horror films that I have selected www.bfi.org.uk/lists/10-gre...

Just want to be in one of these landscapes by Ferdinand Knab.

It’s been a long day. Part of me wants to go to bed early, part of me wants to stay up till late watching Richleau fix everything in The Devil Rides Out.

As ever, thank you, friends, for helping us fight the algorithm and supporting independent presses 🙏🏼🖤✨

IT IS TIME!

💔

A six-part whodunnit set in the 1930s and featuring Magritte, Cocteau, Dali, Ernst, Lee Miller y Man Ray? I’m immediately OBSESSED. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6p_...

Out of the most recent folk horror releases, this one is probably my favourite. 1970s Wales, a fairy ring, a creepy child and a descent to madness, all wrapped in layers of eerie sounds. Seek it out.

#NowWatching RABBIT TRAP. I’ve been excited about this for a while!

Today’s charity shop book find

Whitby, Vampire Capital of the UK

One Night in Bangkok came up on the radio, which led to me looking up Yul Brynner’s bio, and now I’m as invested as an 1844 widow waiting for the next instalment of The Count of Monte Cristo.

Would absolutely wear over a black dress 😍

Terence Stamp as Dracula

A bit of #CrushingOnCushing to cheer you up.

The most beautiful eyes in cinema, the most intriguing face, and such a beautiful voice. RIP Terence Stamp 💔

It’s not a summer holiday without a rewatch of The Trollenberg Terror, the best black and white B-movie with a mountain setting ever made.

The Dracula, the gothest (and best) ice lolly in the world.

My son made a dead vampire Lego.

We’re taking a summer break! If you’ve been thinking of placing an order, now is the time. All orders placed after Monday will be shipped from August 23rd. We’ll be back with folklore, old gods, megaliths and strangeness very soon. Thank you everyone and happy summer 🌞 👉🏼 helleborezine.com

The magic of seeing a project come together ✨

I thought this was bad but then I realised we could use it to promote me

Bought this “for my son”. There’s alien conspiracies, Mothman sightings, men in black, bleak endings. I think I might be more excited than him.

Anton Walbrook in The Student of Prague (1935) and The Red Shoes (1948).

“And so, we pass on by The crimson eye Of great god Mars As we travel the universe” Safe journey, Ozzy 🖤

Happy 57th birthday to the best occult thriller ever made

“Black Sabbath is the band that invented heavy metal music, & it is a band that is so meaningful to so many of us, & the DNA of Black Sabbath is everywhere. Those are things that originated in your city. Those are things that originated with Sabbath & Ozzy Osbourne." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Bibliophile friends, is this water damage? Is my Golden Bough doomed like the sacrificial king himself? I know it’s not exactly valuable, but I’m fond of it.

Me and my book projects

Io Pan! ✨🐐✨

Good piece by John Platt at The Revelator about flensing AI from searches. How and why. therevelator.org/how-to-get-a...

Changing the name of my Green Goddess dressing (raw spinach, fresh basil, coriander and dill with lemon, garlic and yogurt) to Jenny Greendressing after my partner’s suggestion.

English tomatoes are so anaemic I made gazpacho with Italian chopped tomatoes. It was ✨magnificent✨

Not bedtime again

Did a demon write this?

My son is absolutely loving it

Together forever 🖤

Very happy to have contributed to @filmsradiance.bsky.social new release of MALPERTUIS (Harry Kümel, 1971) with an essay on the more esoteric aspects of this gothic phantasmagoria. Pre-orders on www.radiancefilms.co.uk/products/mal...

“Metal, as a culture that loves ritual, narrative and the mythic, is uniquely well-placed to fold death, aging and the limitations of the body into the heart of music and scene-making.” Superb piece. Essential reading.

Surprise (not) 🦇🦇🦇 You can take the test here: www.idrlabs.com/jock-nerd-pr...

There’s a Scorpions biopic in the works?! I’m so in. youtu.be/UQLyNXyxTE0

Charity shop find

Does anyone know anybody who actually had a conversation pit in the 70s, or was it the decor equivalent to the yeti?
