Also lighter (and according to Letterboxd, the least "popular" horror movie I like) is Encounters of the Spooky Kind, a Sammo Hung movie where the main character (played by Hung) gets tricked into spending a night in a haunted temple. Came across it during a jiangshi movie marathon, and loved it

Moving to much lighter territory, One Cut of the Dead is an incredibly charming horror/comedy about a zombie film that ends up getting attacked by actual zombies. It goes in a direction I won't spoil, but it's such a fun watch, and perfect Halloween material.

Kotoko is a totally paranoia-inducing about a mother dealing with terrifying hallucinations. It's one of the more restrained Shinya Tsukamoto films, but that isn't saying much. Very anxiety-inducing.

Seconds is a really trippy story about a man who goes through a procedure that fakes his own death and gives him a new face and identity. Very confusing and disorienting from the opening scene, also one of my personal favorites.

The Wolf House (La Casa Lobo) is a really technically-impressive stop-motion film utilizing an entire house as its set. About a girl who escapes a religious colony, it's very dreamlike and surreal, and easily one of my favorite horror movies of all time.

Every time I need to log onto one of several LoR services to submit a rec letter, I always think of this comic. The worst are individual programs with their own log-ins. Who is this more convenient for?

Nazi sickos aside, I feel like Twitter has about a 6-month halflife before hitting Facebook levels of content slop

Did a lecture on finding the narrative of a research or design project, and used at least a dozen pop culture references (Dragonball, The Simpsons, Wizard of Oz, Star Wars...). The amount of students who had seen none of these...
