Doing this lecture online tomorrow at 2 PM for @MiskatonicIHS; looking forward to it, hope some of you will join!
A few years ago I did an online lecture for @MiskatonicIHS about SPOORLOOS and had a blast; in October, I'll be doing another one on motifs of hypnosis in horror cinema, including clips from THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI, CANDYMAN, CURE and GET OUT.

“Not red, blood” - Jean-Luc Godard
‘PREDATOR: BADLANDS’ will be the first mainline Predator film to be PG-13. The film will still be as violent as possible but no human red blood (Source: https://t.co/9V4LIcLha3)
