The controversy around Anna Biller’s The Face of Horror got me thinking about our curious habit of calling anything theatrical, beautiful or emotionally sincere “camp”. Read the article on Amicus Horror⁠ amicushorror.co.uk/anna-biller-... #annabiller #thefaceofhorror #horrorcommunity

It is indeed. So is Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan, which @superamanda.bsky.social & I watched on the Criterion Channel the other night. The story is the basis for her friend Anna Biller’s new film The Face of Horror.

THE FACE OF HORROR will be excellent. David Mullen and Anna in top form

As filmmaker yourself then dont miss out on her latest work, THE FACE OF HORROR, which is a medieval retelling of Yotsuya Kaidan. No need to be biased.

Anna Biller has never denied there was a good faith discussion. Harvey Milk wrote a letter to President Jimmy Carter imploring him to give custody of a child to Jim Jones of people's temple. The child was later murdered at Jones' behest. Those freaks didn't simply vanish when the 1970s ended.

Also she stated on Twitter verbatim that she doesn't believe in the satanic panic.

You don't think that people can have a change of mind after a certain point in time? You are a longtime researcher of conspiracy theories, but she's not a longtime proponent of them.

Those aren’t receipts. If you’re going to attach a serious ideological label like “TERF” that can cause harm then produce realevidence. Where did Anna Biller say trans women aren’t women? Where did she advocate excluding trans? Why are you creating a villain where none exists? Is this truth social?

Super Amanda @superamanda.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Anna Biller, like many of us are concerned that victims of child abuse are shouted down with claims of false memory. Good faith questions exist. And once you study Jonestown and peoples temple, you realize anything could’ve happened. Don’t think that those freaks just disappeared after the 1970s.

Super Amanda @superamanda.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

She has stated that she does not believe in this satanic panic. I don’t know if you were around California in the late 1970s, but somebody named Harvey Milk wrote Jimmy Carter to tell him to give a kidnapped child back to Jim Jones. The child was murdered in Guyana along with over 280 other children

She’s not a TERF. That link didn’t produce any proof. If you’re going to attach a serious ideological label like “TERF” to a woman , produce the evidence. Where did Anna Biller say trans women aren’t women? Where did she advocate excluding trans people? Maybe check the veracity of your sources…

The utterly fabulous science fiction paper theatre figures from "The Buck Rogers Cut Out Adventure Book." (1933) which was actually a #papertheater, designed to be played with while listening to the radio serial. Probably the earliest sci-fi #paperminis #standees I'm aware of. #retrofuturism

Plot of #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace seems inspired by two 1939 stories by A. E. Van Vogt, later incorporated into his 1950 novel Voyage of the Space Beagle. Van Vogt lived to sue #Alien & got $50,000 settlement. #TCMparty @SuperAmanda.bsky.social

I’ve never seen it, but in 1964, Ferrer repeated the role of Cyrano, w. Jean-Pierre Cassel as D’Artagnan. It does not have a great reputation, despite being the last theatrical film directed by Abel Gance. Sylva Koscina & Daliah Lavi are the heroines. @superamanda.bsky.social

The scene where Odysseus visits Hades and Elliott Page’s revenant appears to him is so amazing. I’m a Goth so it’s extra special. ☠️Nothing will replace Roy Harryhausen, but this comes pretty close. All the sour grapes from the translator of the edition that inspired Nolan can’t stop it!
