  Hey everyone, sorry on the delays for the October posts. I've been going pretty hard at freelance work lately so I've had less energy to put to this overall. On the bright side, I managed pitched one of my ideas for a post here into something for another website, Play.Jumpcutonline.co.uk.   You can read the post here!    Darkwood I've got two reviews for you coming up, one on World of Horror and the other on Phasmaphobia - I just need to play more of it.   I'm also probably going to launch a Patreon or something instead of the Ko-fi to raise funds because I need money, to put it plainly. I appreciate all forms of support though, and thanks for reading! It'll launch in the next post.

It doesn't really ever drift from that - closer inspection does reveal more about the "Why" and the "How" of Suspiria, but for me in 2020, it's a single concept executed well, created by director Luca Guadagnino and crew, but also also the year 1977. You should go watch it, because I'll be talking about it and what it meant to me here. Here's a link.  Okay, so once again let me preface this by saying that I'm not anyon...
