Poe's short story 'The Black Cat' was also (very, very loosely) adapted into a 1934 horror film starring Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi! 🐈‍⬛
Poster for 'The Black Cat' In the background a black cat is silhouetted with yellowy-greeny eyes casting beams. In the centre a man holds a woman, who appears to be unconscious. The heads of Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff also appear disembodied.

Saw this in Sheffield a few weeks ago and this message seems even more important today. Text reads: “Trans joy will always prevail. Pride month is every month.” 🏳️‍⚧️❤️
Photo taken next to a road crossing, with the following text written on the yellow crossing: Trans joy will always prevail. Pride month is every month.

Our microwave keeps beeping when no one’s in the room so I’m pretty sure it’s haunted. Or, our kitchen has a ghost or a poltergeist which might explain the time on these speakers - yes that is 25 minutes past the 29th hour and 20 minutes past the 31st hour in March 2030…

Can't believe you would do Delia dirty like that! Although you are correct the original trilogy with Damien are WAY better than the TV movie of Omen IV...but still Delia is so savage!

Loved watching HAUNTED ULSTER LIVE last night at Paracinema Cult Film Festival in Derby. It's a really funny, GHOST WATCH esque film about a live investigation of a haunted house - and extra spooky for me and Hannah because we're pretty sure we know that ghost! 👻
Poster for HAUNTED ULSTER LIVE. In the middle is a semi opaque side on picture of a man, and in his face you can see a house with a small crowd and film crew. As well as the title there is also the tag line: "Halloween night, 1998...A live broadcast from a haunted house in Belfast. So disturbing it hasn't been seen in 25 years." Still from the film: on the left is Gerry Burns, an older television presenter wearing a tan coat and blue shirt, on the right is a younger television presenter Michelle, wearing a red devils costume with horns and a blue denim jacket. Michelle is holding a red TV microphone, and Gerry is holding a radio walkie talkie. They are standing in front of a house.

He enjoyed himself so much he’s completely spark out (and maybe chasing demons in his dreams).

Big day for this little guy because he’s getting his balls chopped off.
Photo of a black cat on a red sofa. His orange eyes are looking straight at the camera, and as he’s sitting one of his back legs is straight in the air between his front legs.

Excuse me, I think there’s a little demon in my couch!

I stare into the void and the void stares back.
