First things first: Everyone say, "Happy Birthday, Monica!" For our special girl's special day, we decided to do a very special film. This week on Spooky Tuesday, we're covering Possession (1981), the video nasty that made waves at Cannes... and then promptly got stuck in the vault. Starring Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill as a couple whose marriage is falling apart, this peculiar picture has been much debated over the years and is open to all kinds of interpretation. On our latest episode, we're doing our best to make sense of what exactly is happening here — and just how it makes us feel.
BIG NEWS, SPOOKIES!
We’re getting a makeover!! Our new official look is here — and so is our merch store! That’s right: We’ve got new art AND hats, shirts, and sweatshirts to match. Starting March 26 at 12:00 a.m. PST, our shop is open for presales. You’ve got until Friday, April 12 at 11:59 p.m. to get your order in, and we’ve got some very cunty stuff.
