Let us walk the woods as feral possibility space. Let us walk the woods in hope of strange sights, fantastical encounters. Stories we can tell to those we love as an intimate folklore of hope that wonder is still abroad. That we still have places of constant magic. – #DAKilroy

The land withers. Autumn is told in both the fading scars of drought and the gathering mud. Hooklanders call this blurred border of days harbrim. A time whenthey know that mists are coming to eat certainty and monsters feast to fatten ahead of hibernation. – #DAKilroy, 1982

Here at the edge of the salt marsh, all magic is brined. Clouds race the sky for the delight of being augury. Boats are warded against the songs of blue-skinned Blood Sisters, the summoning of ill winds. The mud holds its stolen treasures and even we witches walk with caution. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982

Old corpse roads, old wraith ways – where bodies were carried from distant communities to churches and cemeteries – are now rarely used for their earlier purpose. This doesn't stop hikers following lych paths, dead lines. This doesn't stop them being spectral highways. – Dr. M. Benn, 1982

The edge between a walled and wild section of wood always feels like a magical threshold. A transgressive possibility space where things leak out and shinning up the border requires a sacrifice of scraped skin, torn cloth. To walk atop such a wall is to be of two-worlds. – #DAKilroy, 1982

Sometimes you see a horse and feel a connection, not only to it, but through it to our whole history with them. They become a link to the string of chalk steeds on hills, to bronze age snaffle bits. A sense of them as battle beasts, the cavalry of ancient gods. – Freya Hope

Lex runs a Hollywood rep theater that shows nitrate film prints. It'd be the hippest place in Hollywood if it weren't for the little problem in Auditorium 2. The LAPD would rather that problem doesn't become THEIR problem. They'll make YOUR problems go away... if you burn the place to the ground.

Gabe Cross was one of the biggest action stars of the late '80s. Then an accident on set ended his career. Now he's back, more than thirty years later. He hasn't aged a day. He has a message for Hollywood, a gospel to preach. You don't need to age. You don't need to die. You can embrace eternity.

Years back, Elliott Housden wrote a hip indie horror movie. That landed him some gigs rewriting action blockbusters. The words stopped coming. The work dried up. Because it was never Elliott doing the writing. It was something else inside him. And now that thing is threatening to take over.

Nico Diallo is one of the biggest rising stars in Hollywood. Her fans are... intense. After a trip to her dressing room, some of them have been known to lose interest in just about anything else. Eating, drinking, getting out of bed... Sounds dangerous. Somebody should probably look into that.

Meet Al 'Arbo' Arbogast, retired special effects wizard and veteran vampire killer. Arbo trained you in the hunt. He also likes to sit around watching old Westerns, kaiju flicks, and '80s slasher movies, opining about how they just don't make fake blood like they used to.
