If youse ever want to piss D'Irish off tell them "Dirty Old Town" is actually an English song. You're not wrong. It's about Salford not Dublin.

The final Shocktober 2025, after some things got shifted around in the last week. Lots of winners (stars), one noped-out-early (Calvaire), some blahs (Ninth Configuration, Spider Baby, a segment of VHS Halloween). MetaFilter's DirtyOldTown and @evandorkin.bsky.social inspired many selections!

Stumbling through #Shocktober as we continue to populate the list, with #horror movies from every decade (and I haven't talked to @marisasandlin.bsky.social about the last few, so... subject to change). Some @evandorkin.bsky.social indirect suggestions in here, some from MetaFilter's DirtyOldTown.

D8- A song about smoke, wildfires, smog bad air quality

I heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
I smelled the spring on the smoky wind

Stealing a comment from DirtyOldTown on Metafilter:

So many mornings lately, I wake up with a tremendous amount of sympathy for basically decent human beings who woke up in Germany on various dates in 1933, fully aware of what was happening, their throats hoarse from speaking out against it, [1/2]
