A Halloween season favorite is "Batbaby," a delirious 12 inch video salute to Creature Features of the early 1960s, with music by Fred Schneider and the Superions. Link in first comment.

I arrived in Abbots Bromley at 07:20 sharp ready for the unshackling of the 1000 year old horns stored all year round in the village church. Some pics from the day of dancing..!

Interesting discoveries. The article which is quite short doesn't discuss how these finds and the likely cult fit into the pattern of women's mystery cult associations in the Roman imperial diaspora. www.discovermagazine.com/120-ancient-...

Another prophetic moment from 1975. Ralph Richardson plays the librarian, but all books have been removed because a super computer has "summarized" them all for your convenience. But there's one big question "Zero" won't answer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjYv...

Further progress on my submission to @skullsandsheets.bsky.social brilliant fundraising auction for domestic violence charities. Not at all how I’d imagined it, ended up using pieces of a doily rather than sewing onto the figures I added to the vintage embroidered cloth* *Grumpy old cat not included

A white lace edged tray cloth embroidered with pink blue purple and green flowers and grey spider webs, with two Mari Lwyds added in black thread embellished with pieces of a white lace doily, pearls, white buttons and beads, resting on a green duvet patterned with big yellow 1970s flowers.
To the right of it sits a fluffy black cat with big yellow eyes looking up the camera while the photo is being taken from above, she looks kittenish despite being old

Cool cover art, and I think this one is forthcoming. According to the blurb it includes 45 pathworkings which is a huge number. The author got a testimonial from Shani Oates which for some would be the opposite of a recommendation.

Jamie Fisher's new book all about Elliott Smith is here and it's thoughtful, beautiful and heartbreaking. She interviewed 140 people who knew Elliott! An extraordinary work.
