Here is another picture of an owl I photographed on this post. So many good ones from that day.

When photographing these owls this past summer they were not afraid of me, but other birds dive bombing them.

This is one of the best horror films I’ve watched in years. Deserves way more attention.
When was the last time a horror film made you feel frightened and lonely?

In 2015's The Blackcoat's Daughter, the loneliness somehow makes the scares more potent, and it's our Spooky Season Flick of the Week on @kanopy.com!

I was able to boil this down to three:

Hereditary, The Descent, and The Blackcoat’s Daughter
What do you consider to be the most beautifully shot horror film of all time? Tell us a horror film to see for the cinematography.
