I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.
This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.
Repost if you agree
P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Dear @severinfilms.bsky.social, why is the disk for Penda's Fen & Robin Redbreast in the #allthehauntsbeours vol 1 set region A only? And have I missed a whole previous discussion where you justified this? Any other discs in this, or vol 2, likewise restricted I should know about in advance?

Making my way through @severinfilms.bsky.social #allthehauntsbeours vol 1. I'd seen this before, and enjoyed it very much. I'm just not sure how it is #folkhorror.

At @kierlajanisse.bsky.social 's suggestion, many years ago, I watched this remarkable film for the first time. Finishing @severinfilms.bsky.social #allthehauntsbeours vol 1 - I'm so glad this film exists on Blu-ray now. Very strong recommendation!

I figured I should finish volume 1 of @severinfilms.bsky.social #allthehauntsbeours before moving on to volume 2. I bloody love this film! I first saw Clearcut at TIFF in '91, at the world premiere. I sat just a few seats away from Graham Greene. This is the film that made me a life long Greene fan!

It's Krampusnacht! Tonight is when Krampus was believed to visit children, leaving treats for good children, or kidnapping bad ones in his sack or beating them with a bundle of twigs. For some, St Nicholas left the treats, leaving Krampus to punish naughty children. www.icysedgwick.com/krampus/
Who Is Krampus And How Is He Linked To Christmas?
Krampus, sometimes seen as the Anti Santa, emerged into the mainstream in 2015 with his own movie. But who is he...and how is he linked with Christmas?

I'd never seen this before. Cracker of a film, even if the ending is a bit abrupt.

I had no idea how to pronounce "wassel" as in "wasselling". "Wor-sill". Now I don't look quite the idiot when I mispronounce it.
On the 1st Dec a drink called "Waassel" (pronounced war-sel) is made.
The Waaseller's will call:
At the door,
But not beggars we,
Friendly neighbours,
Waasellers be
Ignore them at your own peril, curses enforced by the Puck and Wiht are easily called at this time of year #Folklore #GothicAdvent
