blasphemoustomes.com/2026/10/08/n... A weird Japanese psychological horror. I'm still not sure what I make of this one. It's tense and moody, offering more questions than answers. I'm hesitant to recommend it, as I suspect most people will hate it, but I found it unsettling.

blasphemoustomes.com/2026/10/07/d... A creepy, imaginative tale about the worst kind of imaginary friend. It manages to explore the ambiguity between mental illness and demonic possession without feeling trite or derivative. Even so, it falls short of being great.

blasphemoustomes.com/2026/10/06/s... I've been meaning to catch up with this for over 20 years, and it was worth the wait. Bloody, energetic, and absolutely batshit. The steam-powered dildo is a particular highlight. Now I need to go and watch Bugonia.

@stardustandsigil.bsky.social joins the Good Friends once again to discuss how to find the horror in history. A lot of the discussion is about where we personally draw the line when using real horrors in games, and it's still something I'm mulling over. blasphemoustomes.com/2026/10/06/f...

Definitely. I was puzzled by that choice, although I did thoroughly enjoy the last 10 minutes.

I still need to see that, but I plan to as soon as this month is over

blasphemoustomes.com/2026/10/05/l... It's a long time since a film this short has left me so exhausted. As I say in the review, it's like ADHD was a movie. And yet, I think I kind of love it.

blasphemoustomes.com/2026/10/04/t... A messy bit of very seventies Italian weirdness, with a shockingly impressive cast fighting an incoherent script. Surprisingly entertaining, however. I can best describe it as The Omen, but for Scientologists.

Even so, I am going to agonise about this for the rest of the month. While I loved every blood-soaked minute, I'm not convinced it's really a horror film. Should that deny it a place in my top three this year? It's a conundrum.

Scott Dorward @sdorward.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

blasphemoustomes.com/2026/10/03/w... This is the kind of ultra-violent black comedy I adore, with plenty of twists and turns, and some spectacularly daft fight scenes. I'm going to have to check out They Will Kill You, from the same director, if I can find time this month.

blasphemoustomes.com/2026/10/02/m... The feature Curry Barker made before Obsession -- a low-budget found-footage horror about YouTube pranksters who are, shockingly, terrible people. Plenty of twists and turns in its short runtime, and its limitations only make it feel more real.

Yesterday’s Impossible Landscapes answered some questions, but only left @sdorward.bsky.social @discourseminis.bsky.social @sskorkowsky.bsky.social with more. What is their role in this corrupted design? Merely actors in a play? But the most important of all was: Does Carcosa have a Dairy Queen? 🍦

We also use this as an opportuning to dig into Adam Nevill's remarkable book, Wyrd and Other Derelictions, which is pure environmental storytelling in literary form. It's sparked all sorts of gaming ideas in my head.

Scott Dorward @sdorward.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

While I enjoy it in videogames, I'd never really thought about environmental storytelling in the context of tabletop RPGs. Thanks to Alex for suggesting it!
