I did my degree at Herts. Like many other institutions, the management have decided to throw the Humanities department under the bus. Read the campaign text to see the lies and double-speak that those working in the department have to contend with.

Fantastic lecture @miskatonicihs.bsky.social from @jamesrendell.bsky.social on His House, one of the best films of the 2020s. I've been searching for more writing about it since I saw it in the depths of Lockdown. Diolch i Josh & James. I hope to make it to more events in The Horse Hospital!

James Rendell stands in the far left of the frame waiting as the audience gather in the foreground. Behind him is a slide showing a still of His House showing a person in a ceremonial mask in a crumbling modern English house. The slide is titled 'Be One of the Good Ones: His House and Colonial Capitalist Hauntings'

Internal detail in The Horse Hospital. A lamp with amber glass in an internal window frame with a blood red curtain behind. The perfect setting for a talk on horror and hauntings.

Throwback to 2018: this is the lecture for @miskatonicihs.bsky.social I was invited by @kierlajanisse.bsky.social to give at Fantastic Fest that year. This led to the then still-unpublished book 1000 WOMEN IN HORROR being optioned, resulting in the just-released the documentary of the same name 💜

Ebert famously hated this movie when it was released. My piece isn't really about criticizing Ebert, but I do address his position and use it as a way to challenge how we write about acting and collaboration in movies made by male geniuses.

This is what I've been doing with my time recently. Can't remember when I last enjoyed helping to compile a festival retrospective programme so much. These films are subversive, outrageous, WTF & bonkers, a full complement of extraordinary horror & sci-fi classics that deserve to be rediscovered.
