Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

Objects in Derek Jarman's garden, Dungeness

This is Bryn Carpenter, ex-collier, who lost his son Desmond 59 years ago today, in the disaster at Aberfan. His daughter Jean, who survived, was a lovely lady; she was very helpful in getting Bryn to be interviewed. You can watch my interview with Bryn here www.youtube.com/watch?v=siWH...

This is classic Farage, all grievance and no graft. He’d rather play the victim instead of doing his job.

Objects in Derek Jarman's garden, Dungeness

Painted by an unknown French artist in the early 19thC, 'Cinq Pommes,' appears a chance arrangement, but every aspect of the composition would have been planned much in the same way as Cézanne had planned his compositions.

A favourite

Following my 60s/70s Amicus thread, here’s another exciting thread with some of my favourite segments from other anthology horror flicks. A mix of old favourites and newer discoveries...

Incredible

Bruce Davidson's pics in Ebbw Vale, as posted by @desdelboy.bsky.social recently, and my trip to those same streets. Iirc, the original spot was identified by @robtelford.bsky.social. Davidson worked in colour and black and white, and I suspect set up most of the shots. Sandra Mears pictured

Some illustrations I did for an M.R James story quite a few years ago. Can you guess which one?
