In Flames (2023).

Excellent feminist ghost story from Pakistan in which mother & daughter battle the ambiguous attentions of men. Touches of 'Repulsion' & J-Horror.

Interesting misspelling midway through this article...Peg Powler becomes 'Peg Prowler' the ghost in my story 'Heirlooms', currently in production as a stopmotion animated film...

Childhood Trauma (part two): Words & Pictures Halloween Special.

Mad old woman brings a pumpkin to life that then proceeds to hop, hop, hop around the village on a stick, terrorising the locals. That is until its head is eaten by a pig in graphic close-up.

I loved Words and Pictures but never saw this one until I saw it more recently. This was my favourite, although I did find it a bit unsettling with Winter's behaviour reminding me of a poltergeist.

Didn't get any snow where I am but as it's #OwlishMonday time to rewatch the Words & Pictures episode from 1984 (I think) with an animated version of Arnold Lobel's classic 'Owl at Home', in which he invites Winter into his house.
