It's here: the annual round-up of my favorite folk horror media! As always, these are not strictly 2025 releases but rather the movies I watched for the first time (mostly) throughout the year. What were your favorites?
2025 Year in Review: The Best Folk Horror Movies (and One TV Show) I Watched

I’m going to try and develop a new skill or two this year. What do you think I should start with?

@thebasementtan.bsky.social Happy New Year, Sarah! I like to think Donald Meek is warning 2026 to watch its step.

Me: I'm going to spend some time reflecting on New Year's Day.

Secret Dracula: Me too. I love reflecting and I love the day.

It’s conventional on New Year’s Eve to do a review of the year.

The year I have decided to review is 1964.

This thread is a wonderful Christmas gift.
[This is originally from a thread I did back in 2021.]

And now for a little post Christmas singalong during the 12 Days of Christmas. Everyone ready? Let's go!

Yearly reminder that Bombshell (1933) is technically a Christmas movie, if you want it to be. 😁

I've seen over 700 Pre-Code movies, and hands down Sing and Like It (1934) has to be the funniest so far. A cast entirely made up of character actors, which may have something to do with how good it is. But the script by Marion Dix and Laird Doyle is chock full of gems I'll share in the next days.

Ray has never steered me wrong, so this is an automatic subscribe.
I always enjoy reading this.
A cool thing would be to subscribe to Dead of Night—my horror cinema newsletter.

A super-fast read, each week I write about a movie from the archive, something new, and a recommendation. (Occasionally I write about a book or story or painting.)

Here’s a great photo of Marion Davies playing a KeyKord, a ukulele from the 1920s that had a push button chord mechanism. Even when they are perfectly set up, they are very persnickety and prone to rattles and buzzes.
