BLACK SUNDAY (1960) A witch pulled out of her grave, eyes burning through time, hungry for blood and payback. Barbara Steele feels like a curse given a face. Beautiful, hollow, and cruel, staring straight past the characters and into you. Crumbling castles, rain on stone, masks of pain nailed to living flesh. It plays like a bad dream you half-remember from childhood and can’t quite shake. What lingers for you: the moment she first rises, or the slow spread of her curse afterward? #BlackSunday #BarbaraSteele #ItalianHorror #GothicHorror #60sHorror #ForTheDeadTravelFast

Watched Superman 2025 for the first time a few days back and I highly recommend it. James Gunn outdid himself in this story about immigrants, belonging, and self-discovery. PLEASE WATCH IF YOU HAVEN'T!!! THIS IS THE SUPERMAN IVE BEEN ASKING FOR!!

In the mid-19th century, death was quick, messy, and hard to control. Wooden coffins leaked and collapsed, the soil above them caved in, and disease seeped out into the living world. In an age terrified of cholera and being buried alive, one man decided the answer wasn’t a nicer coffin, but a new kind of machine for the dead. His name was Almond Dunbar Fisk. Fisk didn’t build a box. He built a shell. A coffin shaped to the human body, made entirely of cast iron, with a glass window over the face and an airtight seal. Once the lid was locked down, the body inside was cut off from insects, air, and moisture. Decomposition slowed. Gases were trapped. The corpse became a sealed specimen, caught somewhere between body and artifact. Wealthy families, politicians, and high-ranking officers rushed to buy them, especially when a body had to travel across long distances before burial. President Zachary Taylor and Dolley Madison both went to the grave inside Fisk coffins. Part of the horror is how clinical it all was. Metal screws bit down into the iron rim. Rubber gaskets tightened the seal. The glass plate framed a face that could be viewed one last time, like a relic under glass. It was memorial, medical experiment, and quiet obsession with beating decay, all at once. You can read it as public health, as status symbol, or as evidence of how badly people wanted to pretend they could manage death if they just engineered it correctly. That is why the Fisk coffin appears in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein. A perfect prop for a century torn between reverence and resurrection. It was not just a container. It was a 19th-century attempt to bend time, chemistry, and mortality to human will. Very few survive now. A handful sit in museums. Others are still buried, iron ribs hidden under old cemeteries, lids unbroken, rooms of stale air wrapped around bodies that may be far better preserved than anyone above them suspects.

This film is not great by any stretch of the imagination, but it's got this autumnal aesthetic that I absolutely long for in movies. While more of a drama than horror it's still something I enjoy playing to get into the Halloween spirit. Oklahoma doesn't usually do a good job of making it possible, but if I keep my house cold enough... light enough fall candles and turn on these types of films... it's close.

Watching Insidious again for a project and here are my thoughts so far. … this one feels predominantly handheld. Real loose, natural, almost doc-style in spots. But then there are these moments where the camera slows down and gets super steady, and it feels wrong in a rad way. Like when the entity shows up, the whole vibe shifts. Suddenly you’re not in the room anymore. You’re being watched. And then it slips right back into handheld like nothing happened. It’s subtle but you FEEL it.

Watched Bring Her Back because I’m going to be DP’ing a project that’s pulling some visual inspiration from it. It’s a dark film. Not just in the way it looks, but in what it sits with. I’m usually pretty critical of these modern family-trauma horror stories. A lot of them feel like they just want to shock or suffocate you. But this one had heart. It didn’t feel like it wanted to punish the audience. It had something to say, and the characters felt real. I appreciate it the fact it didn't use grief as a set dressing. It had real opinions and I felt them.
