As spooky season taunts us, Jason Sacks takes a look at a new #Horror movie, Let’s Scare Jessica to Death. Pitched as a lurid and exploitative film, it’s something much scarier - a mood that unsettles and creeps under your skin. galacticjourney.org/september-4-...

The color portrait of the three astronauts of the Apollo 15 mission, in their white space suits in front of a lunar-surface like wall. Their patch is in the middle and above them.

Politics and the arts don’t only relate to the artwork, as N.Y.C.’s Whitney Museum found out earlier this year. Maureen Hogan writes about how the De Luxe theater in Houston, Texas, is leading the way in hosting a racially-integrated art show. galacticjourney.org/august-22-19...
A black and white pamphlet for the De Luxe Show.  Text reads: Come and See the De Luxe Show.  Art and Movies.  3303 Lyons Avenue, Houston, Texas.  August 22 to September 25, '71, Mon. thru Sat. 10 to 10, Sun. 1 to 10 p.m.  In the center, a photo shows Black people standing at the entrance to the De Luxe gallery, which has a movie marquee above the door.  A couple of children look through the window at the art inside. All the people's heads and limbs appear to be in silhouette because the camera film cannot capture their dark skin correctly.
