Creatures of the night

I am very excited for Dark Force Fest, and even more so because the boyfriend's Pandora has been playing more Dead on a Sunday lately! He likes them, and also discovered he likes She Wants Revenge!

I just wish DoaS was on the same day as Orgy, because boyfriend actually already knows and likes them.

Still, not missing the extremly rare Beborn Beton gig, nor a chance to say Hi to Frenchy and The Punk again!

Today is the 77th anniversary of Dragonwyck. So, I come bearing gifs. Get it?....

I'll see myself out...

Here's some words of advice from Nicholas Van Ryn

James D Stark- "Dying Beauty"

Today I’m celebrating the lesser known arch rival of St Patrick, whose life’s work was to bring back paganism and fill Ireland with thousands of snakes.

Went to the Ren Faire yesterday! So fun! My love and I dipped our hands in wax. A mermaid gifted me a bit of her treasure.

But the moment that leaves my soul crying with joy and love and happiness, was being SEEN by another lovely lady. Wordlessly, we communicated, as we didn't need them at all.

She acknowledged, in such soft admiration, my beard. The way she smiled and offered her hand for a High Five, only solidifying more how absolutely wonderful she was.

I felt like taking her hand and going on an adventure with her, but our paths had to part.

I am hugging her in my heart so tightly today.

Bravo also to Robert Eggers for probably the least bad depiction of Transylvania in Western vampire cinematic history:

1. Having actual Romanian actors doing the dialogue in Romanian. You'd think this is a low bar to clear but nope.

2. High quality costume design that looks pretty accurate to 19th century Romanian and Roma peasantry, even down to specific braided hairstyles from the Transylvanian region.

3. Depiction of Roma people but refrains from having them as some typical Hollywood exoticizing role like a magical fortune teller etc. They're in like half a scene, just chilling and playing music in front of an inn.

4. Use of the word "strigoi" which are actual spirits in Romanian folklore, unlike the term "vampire" which didn't exist in Romania.

5. Sorry to the Nosferatu moustache haters, but a Romanian nobleman would have had that exact facial hair.

6. Depiction of religion (nuns, churches) that actually looks like Eastern Orthodoxy and not some vaguely spooky goth Christianity.
