The original 1982 Poltergeist is also a possibility (loved it as a kid, although I’m not sure I found it scary).

The Others (2001) is a really good creepy but non-gory one.

Fed my notebook addiction at Spirit Halloween.
Brown notebook with magnetic clasp with title “Handbook for the Recently Deceased” above a 1940s style portrait of the backs of a couple looking at sun and clouds (replica of a book from the movie Beetlejuice).

All the praise Sinners is getting is well earned. Beautifully done with great original lore and perfectly timed moments of comic relief. I experienced moments of movie-induced euphoria while watching it.
And be sure to stay through the credits so that you don't miss the epilogue.
Movie poster for Ryan Coogler’s Sinners showing Michael B. Jordan as twins, Wunmi Mosaku, Hailee Steinfeld and several other characters, all in 1930s clothing in front of a backdrop of a large sun on a burnt umber horizon.

One of my fave signs from the protest (and the one I actually got a good picture of).
People at a protest, with man in tan shirt in the center holding a sign that reads “There will be hell toupeé.”

I know who we should hire to fix it for him.
On left original fresco of Christ on the wall of the Santuario de la Misericordia in Borja, Spain. On the right the botched restoration that completely mangled it.

Nice! And same! Here is a diverse group of fowls I ran across in Reykjavik a few months ago.
A duck and swan standing in the foreground on pavement in front of a metal fence in front of a pond, with more ducks, swans, and seagulls in the middle-ground behind the fence (some on pavement at the shore and some in the water), and a white building with a steeple in the left-hand background

Just checked and yep! That’s the new message when I open TikTok! Although funnily enough, the immediate video underneath was Maggie Reed making fun of Trump.

So much better than mine. I’m going to need some spaghetti to get through this year.
Post from Merriam-Webster that says “Take a screenshot of this GIF, and whichever new word you land on is YOUR word for 2025. Godspeed.” And the word displayed is “crestfallen.”

Hello, Bluesky! I never know what to post first, so here’s my favorite Medieval art post.
Medieval art of knight on a horse in profile, and another horse from the front with bizarrely drawn anatomically incorrect front legs. Text reads “Patron: So one of the horses will be drawn from the side and the other from the front. Medieval artist: From the…front? Patron: Right. You know how to draw horses from the front, right? Artist: Y-yeah, totally.”
