My guest has gone and it's a rainy miserable night... Good excuse to take to my bed and watch BBC Ghost Stories for Christmas...
#AWarningToTheCurious

Day 2 includes a supernatural short fiction RT with authors roundtable with Suzan Palumbo, Silvia Moreno-Garcia & Nghi Vo. + live performance by Robert Lloyd Parry. Also the Jamesian disintegration of my mind as I try to figure out why tagging isn’t working here today. #AWarningToTheCurious

Our MR James conference is now well underway, and we’ve had a fantastic keynote from @profdarryljones.bsky.social
. We’ve got two full days of talks, workshops, and an exciting performance ⭐ #AWarningToTheCurious

M.R.James - A Warning To The Curious "A Warning to the Curious" is a ghost story by English writer M. R. James, first published in The London Mercury in August 1925 and collected in James' book A Warning to the Curious and Other Ghost Stories that same year. The tale tells the story of Paxton, an antiquarian and archaeologist who holidays in "Seaburgh" (a disguised version of Aldeburgh, Suffolk) and inadvertently stumbles across one of the three lost crowns of East Anglia, which legendarily protect the country from invasion. Upon digging up the crown, Paxton is stalked by its supernatural guardian. Written a few years after the end of the First World War, "A Warning to the Curious" ranks as one of M. R. James's bleakest stories.

More Christmas Ghost Stories with 'A Warning to the Curious'. 😊👻 #christmasghoststories #awarningtothecurious #mrjames

That's a whole character vibe right there. Taking such good care of the uppers when the shoe is badly in need of resoling.

#AWarningToTheCurious #FrightClub

One nice thing about a British ghost story, the flashlights work properly. 😄

#AWarningToTheCurious #FrightClub

Hey, yeah. Also if the crown is so significant wouldn't the skull be as well?

#AWarningToTheCurious #FrightClub

I'm so confused. I get why people would be searching for the crown, but I still don't know why that other guy killed the first one, and I don't understand what's going on with this guy and the landscape painter.

#AWarningToTheCurious #FrightClub

And I'll bet he didn't get permission from the landlord either

#AWarningToTheCurious #FrightClub

Must keep up appearances while unearthing the odd corpse or two

#AWarningToTheCurious #FrightClub

Oh heck yeah. That murder was funny as hell.

And it looks like this guy is digging in the same place now!

#AWarningToTheCurious #FrightClub

Well spotted. He's got a list of credits as long as any six people's arms! I never would've placed those two.

#AWarningToTheCurious #FrightClub

😄

Yeah, but he was in the wrong! The guy had permission from the owner ("landlord" in this sort of UK country arrangement).

#AWarningToTheCurious #FrightClub

I don't know! I picked it almost randomly, it just looked intriguing, and then found out later that MR James wrote a whole bunch of ghost stories.

#AWarningToTheCurious #FrightClub

The murderer was goddamn rude though 😆

#AWarningToTheCurious #FrightClub

Oh wow this is an even more massive change of pace than anticipated 😄

And yet, so far, equally homicidal!

#AWarningToTheCurious #FrightClub

Don't try to give me #AWarningToTheCurious you know that'll just make me more determined to find #FrightClub

The closing credit outtakes are wonderful.

I'm glad I allowed plenty of time between movies, because I seem to be well behind all of you!

See yas in 10 for #AWarningToTheCurious, whoever would like to swing back for that! It's a little less than an hour, a BBC adaptation of an MR James story.

Secret Santa (2018) A dysfunctional family’s Christmas gathering sets the stage for a bloody fight for survival after tensions reach an all-time high at the dinner table.

Watched #Awarningtothecurious and it was pretty boring bland unscary and poorly acted. Def one of the most generic and uninspiring #foundfootage films #horror #HorrorFamily #horrormovie
