A lost tale of the Cthulhu Mythos: "The Coming of Tsathoggua" (1951) by Herman Stowell King has been oft-overlooked in an obscure fanzine - and a good example of the kinds of fanfiction common in yesteryear. deepcuts.blog/2026/10/28/l...

This really makes my day! I really like Bryn's writing, and also what's under the hood of her stories, so I didn't hesitate when I was asked to illustrate this Goatskin story!

Tonight raise a glass to Vasily Arkhipov, as you probably owe him your life. On this day in 1962 he persuaded his submarine captain not to launch a nuclear torpedo during the during the Cuban Missile Crisis. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_...

Sabine Baring-Gould’s *Book of Were-Wolves: Being an Account of a Terrible Superstition* (1865) is a landmark study collecting global tales relating to lycanthropes and other human-animal transformations: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/the-book-of-were-wolves/

I’m a huge Mass Effect fan, but time and again the fandom has made me cringe. I’d love it to come back but it’s not just the game it’s also team that made it are more important. I dislike the selfish implication that it doesn’t matter who makes it as long as it’s made makes me feel vaguely ill.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Ich hoffe so sehr, dass das ernst gemeint ist. Es würde so wunderbar passen. Das wofür die Feudalherren des Mittelalters Klöster gründeten, wollen die Fans unserer Neo-Feudalherren mit ihren Pseudo-AI-Spielzeugen erreichen. "AI" Agents als Mönchsersatz.

If an Italian cowboy movie is a Spaghetti Western, does that mean an Italian horror film is a Penne Dreadful?

“Kuhle Wampe” was made by among others #Brecht and Ernst Ottwalt. They met each other again as refugees on Thurø in Denmark. Brecht was allowed to stay as his wife Helene Weigel was Jewish. Ottwalt had to move on. He had tasks for illegal apparatus of #KPD. He ended in Moscow. Died in #Gulag 1943

"... you might think, why would I not again be wolf, be some creature large and dangerous enough to offer some threat -- but I thought I could serve better as I was. Anyhow, if you think a horse can't be a dangerous thing, I'll take it you've never met one." K.V. Johansen: Breath and Bone

Muss gerade erfahren, dass Walter Koenig verstorben ist ... RIP

This is a great excuse to plug the British miniseries FLICKERS (1980), one of the most authentic portrayals of the madcap days of early cinema. Hoskins plays a sleazy small timer who ends up paired with a wealthy woman who needs to cover an illicit affair.

Zählt das Verstecken einer Schinkenrolle in einem Croissant als hinterhältiger Mordanschlag? Ich bin fast geneigt, das so zu sehen.

HYPNOGORIA 318 - The History of Halloween Part XVII In this chapter we discover what a late 1990s #Halloween night was like, how television got spooky again while on the big screen, Michael Myers made a second cinematic comeback with the 1998 reboot Halloween H20! Links in the comments!

Sound effects records featuring spooky noises were popular in the ‘60s and ‘70s and supplied the soundtracks to countless Halloween parties. Many of the LPs had radio play-style stories on one side and sound effects like screams, groans, creaking doors and clanking chains on the other. #SpookySunday

An anonymous poet wrote a ribald parody of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven," published in 1927 as "The Mortal." The poem went through many hands and was reprinted in different forms in subsequent decades. This blogpost presents four variations of the slightly nsfw poem. deepcuts.blog/2026/10/24/l...

Hat die Sword & Sorcery tatsächlich etwas von ihrer Weirdness eingebüßt? Ich denke nicht. katzenklaue.blogspot.com/2026/10/the-...

The Cinema Museum in London is trying to buy its building and they are about 1/4 of the way to their goal. It's a converted Victorian workhouse where Charlie Chaplin lived and worked as a child. Could you share or donate a bit? www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/the-cinema...

K.V. Johansens "Breath and Bone" ist eines der Bücher, bei dem ich mich erst einmal in den etwas ungewöhnlichen Sprachduktus einlesen musste. Dann aber entfaltet er seinen ganz eigenen Reiz.
