was invited to a sip and paint event for this week’s release of KEEPER, osgood perkins’s new horror. felt like jungian art therapy with nice cocktails. was then sent home with my new masterwork & a chocolate cake, which im sure does not play any kind of sinister role in the movie

cannot recommend the making of book more. i have a few of the del toro ones and this is a step beyond - a beautiful level of detail and lots of fun inserts.

i’ve seen multiple criticisms of del toro “adding” freudian elements to FRANKENSTEIN that seem to forget this is the dream victor has immediately after making the creature

watched PALESTINE 36 over the weekend. feels monumental to see a film made with this much epic scope and aesthetic richness about what, for us right now, in the face of this genocide, is one of the crucial points in world history

if you can get to selfridges between now & 9 november, book for the frankenstein exhibition (it’s free!), all of the major props and costumes are in there PLUS some rare mary shelley-related volumes. it is an ecstatic religious experience for the del toro fan
