Have they seen Heretic?

It's getting hot up here finally which means more cold-weather viewing yesss

Really feels like The Terror minus the monster based on the trailer, but yeah...I'm not expecting a happy ending with this one.
Looks pretty and people look cold, which is what I need with an Arctic horror story.

How'd I miss this? 1800s, Arctic-based, end of the line/men as the monsters set-up, based on an Iain McGuire book, Colin Farrell as a bad dude, Jack O'Connell as an earnest do-gooder?? Again, how did I miss this?

Btw this and Angine I'm really doing well this season for skronky-tappy-riffy-sweepy-burburbur-huh rock-adjacent music.

Putting together a song like this and hanging w Steve Vai, clearly these kids have no respect and don't know a thing

Good for him, though, and he is right. This kinda 'forget about that style and start over' spirit needs to be encouraged. Used to happen a lot more, I think.

Get those hits

lol at the guys triangulating a defintion of classic rock to keep out artitsts they don't like

You're 100% correct but I'll still take it, that's more encouragement than I've given myself.

Their whole catalogue is pretty great, but this album, Snakes for the Devine, and De Vermis are tops. Though production varies widely btw them.

Matt Pike is a beautiful human.

Every day is a day for riffs, but some riffs fit some days better than others.

What he does with dialogue, my gawd.

Esp one who's a real-life AI shill

Tbh now I have time to reflect I think this is worse/more offensive than those Winnie the Pooh horror movies.

someone did try, at least once, with those muzzle flashes

Get in Trouble by Kelly Link.

So not only do I have to make more room on my favorite stories shelf but also have to keep the stories-within-stories straight as well - thanks @kellylink.bsky.social for more timeless troublesome fun. (I know this is an older one but it's gold.)

Lucy Boynton, Blackcoat's Daughter.

Lucy Boynton, Pale Blue Eye.

Lucy Boynton, Apostle.

RW Apostle, which is still turns my crank as a nasty bit of folk/cult horror that's kinda poorly written but has Dan the Man and Micheal Sheen and the Grinder in a period piece so who cares, but I'd really like to see more of Lucy Boynton so can the genre gods bring her back thanks.

Keep going.
Finished it the other night, pretty damn rad.

It's another meta layer that lines it up w the traditional suburban horrors.

Oh damn, it's started!?! Whoooo!!

(Scoures Wikipedia to try and remember wtf was going on at the end of last season.)

Last watch I really noticed how he bent the Halloween music into Randy's watch party. Brilliant stuff, I'm still picking it on things years later.

Kids bikes.

Tires filled, chains greased, still wearing snow pants but back at it.

As we were saying.

As usual lots to cheer but big thumbs up for Skeleton Key! Great (forgotten?) big budget horror!

Like this whole project was such a gift, just umpteen moments of awesome.

This one is near the top for me - Chelsea Wolfe's Crazy Train is also close - but the live setting, the tempo shifts, the absolute JOY on display, this is music winning.
