@Hikarol2 @nocontextmemes Oh damn, that's crazy, now I'm mad about it too

As a former shop floor worker of the Burton @Waterstones, who spent years looking at their shelves, this one is just lovely to see. 😊

Relax guys, last night the true form of Dracula was defeated! 🦇💀 Great little campaign scenario for Mansions of Madness even if one of us did willingly make a pact with the devil... 🤦🏻‍♂️ #MansionsofMadness #Dracula

@alatereviewer Well said; it completely ruined that scene for me. Why would you do it, it's not meaningful film preservation or capturing a novel performance. It's just baffling, selfish behaviour.

[Craig Ian Mann @craigimann]

If you want to pick up my cultural history of werewolf films in ebook format, it's currently just over a fiver in this @EdinburghUP sale. Tons of other good stuff here but I hugely recommend @LauMee's excellent book on horror remakes, too.

New Dr. Doom x Doom (93) collab just dropped? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ #MarvelStudios
