Hopefully Tengo Project eventually gets to Shatterhand, Power Blade and Abadox: The Deadly Inner War! I'd love to see modern versions of these awesome NES games.

Mother of Flies, despite its low budget, is an incredible folk horror film. I absolutely love the gorgeous outdoor shots it contains and the manner in which the Adams family depicts ritual as something challenging and immensely painful. The sound design is also pretty impressive.

I really enjoy the new visual effects in Blakes 7 Season 2. Hopefully Season 3 and 4 are released next year.

Any SOI adaptation that doesn't go hard on the government raid of Innsmouth (can anyone see the parallels with contemporary events in the US?), is going to be lesser for it. Probably my favorite adaptations include Breccia's and Tanabe's.

I rewatched Stuart Gordon's Dagon last night & continue to think that it's one of the mid-tier Lovecraft adaptations. Most of the changes he made to Shadow Over Innsmouth story did not benefit his film, with the exception of the inclusion of Uxía.We should have gotten a creepy bus ride to Innsmouth!

I love the original Legend of Zelda. No towns, little dialogue, few npcs... a focus on gameplay and scenario over narrative. It's the absolute perfect game.

Targets (1968) is Boris Karloff's Unforgiven (1992). When faced with horror in real life, Karloff's character, a retiring actor, stands up and takes matters into his own hands. Such a great flick.

Sterling Lanier's The Unforsaken Hiero doesn't live up to the first book and was never followed up by an intended third novel. Still, I’m glad to have gotten another glimpse of this post-apocalyptic world. In particular, I enjoyed the ancient snail and the vicious cat people whom Hiero recruited.

Sterling Lanier's Hiero's Journey is a perfect blend of fantasy and scifi set in a post-apocalyptic world.The protagonist Hiero has the ability to read and control minds and is on a quest through previously nuked areas of Canada.His companions include a telepathic bear and mutant moose. Good stuff.

Inferno is peak Doctor Who. It's one of the absolute best stories in the show's history.

It's awesome that Paul Darrow has such a big role in Doctor Who and the Silurians. There's a few scenes where it's just him and he even gets a pretty intense death scene in the final episode.

Completing my journey through Isaac Asimov's Baley and Olivaw novels, I immensely enjoyed The Robots of Dawn.Key returning characters, such as Dr. Fastolfe and Gladia, have prominent roles in the story, and the short story Liar! is a significant foil as well as a source of mythology within the text.

Endless Blasphemy @lostcosmictexts.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

Totally agree. The Final Wars version of Gigan is pretty cool too....

Endless Blasphemy @lostcosmictexts.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

By the way, there was a 1969 BBC adaptation of this story on Out of the Unknown tv series that unfortunately was wiped like those early Doctor Who episodes. Feel free to cry with me as you look at the existing stills from it.... Those costumes and set look incredible!

Reread Asimov's The Naked Sun and ended up enjoying it much more than The Caves of Steel, though there are way too many instances of Jehoshaphat! The minimizing of R. Daneel Olivaw role is questionable, but the story flows much better and the novel is much more coherent than the subsequent entry.

Endless Blasphemy @lostcosmictexts.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

After reading Asimov's Robot short stories, I decided to revisit Caves of Steel. Though I found it clunky in places and the protagonist Baley to be fairly one note (his defining trait is to constantly say Jehoshaphat), I definitely enjoyed Asimov's more fully realized story based on The Three Laws.

Poverty is often not a focus in horror but in The Auctioneeer Joan Samson details the desperation of a small New England family as they're leveraged by a stranger imposing a series of auctions onto the community. As circumstances deteriorate, they begin to question their ability to survive.

Michael Powell's The Tales of Hoffmann is quite incredible. I'm not really a fan of opera, but the color, editing, dancing, and music really come together in such a rich tapestry of splendor. It's interesting to see how Hoffmann's original stories are repurposed in this regard. Totally love it.

Watched both Deadly Dreams and Lesson of Evil, and absolutely loved the former. Dr. Zito's proxy is super creepy in his dead eyed role as a potential killer of Lt. Murphy. When I was a kid the viking sketches really fueled my imagination. These episodes totally primed me for the Hannibal franchise.

Endless Blasphemy @lostcosmictexts.bsky.social · 18/04/2025

Totally agree. I'm not going to rewatch the whole series, but I think this weekend I'm going to check out those two episodes featuring Dr. Zito, a Hannibal Lector stand-in. Those really made a big impression on me at the time.

Just finished The Urth of the New Sun which isn't as gripping as the original 4 books.There's some cool encounters on Severian's initial space journey and engaging appearances from beloved characters.Ultimately I found it a bit jumbled.Still worth a read but I wish the series ended more cohesively.

Endless Blasphemy @lostcosmictexts.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

Continuing my journey through Gene Wolf's Book of the New Sun series (books 3 & 4), I especially cherished my experience with The Sword of the Lictor. With all of its strange creatures, personalities, environments and the final confrontation with Baldanders and Dr Talos, this book is exceptional.

I was actually at your panel. One of our book group members suggested Grabinski a couple of years after we started. I think you can probably identify me as a fan....

I read E.T.A. Hoffmann's "The Mines of Falun" last night and really got caught up in his accessible style. He does such a great job mixing in human emotion with the supernatural and despite the lack of action, the manner in which the story is told is very compelling. I'm eager to read more.

I tried reading Gene Wolfe's Shadow & Claw 20 years ago and couldn't get into it, but recently gave it another go and was totally blown away.The eruptions of sci-fi elements within a predominantly dark fantasy story, coupled with periodic psychedelic passages, really appeal to me.
