This excellent essay outlines one of my problems with magic/the occult in horror. If anything is possible then nothing is interesting (Buffy, the witch ssn of AHS, etc), but if you over explain (rules, etc) it loses the mystery/numinous. In my own writing, I hope/pray (1/2)
In which I break open the early modern dictionaries to explain what 'occult' really means: "Over-Explaining the Occult in Horror Films" open.substack.com/pub/rebekahk...
Over-Explaining the Occult in Horror Films
Is the devil in the detail or can too much backstory ruin a supernatural villain?

Really looking forward to catching this. @helenczerski.bsky.social is a great science communicator and @cosmicshambles.com is a brilliant initiative (if that’s the right term). Well worth supporting.

This platform is ok but I would be happier if I was seeing more modular synthesis, more old song recommendations (disco, jazz, funk, house), more MENA music, more weird fiction, more modernism, more sci fi.
Recommend ppl for me to follow & for each new one I’ll recommend a book/LP/film in return.

Today's fascinating episode of Electronically Yours features George Underwood, album cover designer, artist and early schoolmate of David Bowie. After deciding that the music business was not for him, George returned to art studies and then worked in design studios as an illustrator.
