I’ve been making my way through the wonderful Ghost of an Idea: Hauntology, Folk Horror and the Spectre of Nostalgia (William Burns). Lovely discoveries as I float through a summer haze, cueing up tunes matching the vibe. I’ve captured the film recommendations in a letterboxd list here boxd.it/I4R8i

The Rondo Hatton Awards 2025 results are in, and it's lovely to see an Honorable Mention for Heidi Honeycutt's I Spit On Your Celluloid in the Book of the Year category! #womeninhorror
A book cover: I Spit On Your Celluloid: The History of Women Directing Horror Movies by Heidi Honeycutt. The cover text is in white and the image is a psychedelic mixture of images, including eyes, a seated dark-haired woman, and a screaming woman's face. The colours are neon pink and purple.
