On closer inspection the second shot is actually the Koningsbrug in Bruges. It's the same spot where Stefan and Valerie dock their boat and watch the corpse being carried out of the house in Kümel's DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS...
I'm a simple guy, open your film with the protagonist wandering the gloomy deserted streets of an old European city (here it's Ghent) and I'm immediately on board and leaning forward in my seat...

Film Time!
Watched Harry Kümel's lush Gothic melodrama MALPERTUIS (1971). With its fisheye lens eccentricity, familial schemeing and actors in multiple roles, it would pair nicely with Juraj Herz's MORGIANA. I was less convinced by the belaboured double twist ending, but good stuff on the whole...

Just read that David Pinner, author of RITUAL, died on Christmas Eve. RITUAL famously inspired THE WICKER MAN.

Talking of films with a surprising cultural footprint, it's wild how often I continue to be asked if I'm selling the tarot cards from the motion picture Tarot (2024)*. Two emails today!

I was curious to see if the Milka foil-wrapped Krampus I got from the Spar at Salzburg train station was just a repurposed Santa figure. Happy to report it's a custom chololate mould, though I'm disturbed by his 'sack'. Looks like he's cosplaying Samantha Eggar from The Brood...

Yeah, that's what I was gonna say...
I love this set so much, how the baroque detail of the illusory city makes it feel More unreal, a Borgesian vibe, a glittering city that looks alive but vanishes when you look away, a city of facades, a city built for the spiritual torment of one man (beginning to sound more Calvino-esque).

Yule tidings, Lunglings. We’re logging off for the rest of the year but we’ll be back in the studio NEXT MONTH and we look forward to sharing new music with you in 2026. In the meantime, eat, drink, be merry and don’t forget to let the devil in 👹🎄
