[The Horror Calendar @HorrorCalendar]

Found footage film The Houses October Built originally began its life as a documentary. That previously unreleased documentary, THE HOUSES OCTOBER BUILT – ORIGINAL VERSION, comes to Shudder October 1, 2024.

The doc "introduces an entirely new narrative & unexpected conclusion."

Why do castles matter?

In reality, they stand as some of the most impressive buildings known to man.

Here are the best ones... 🧵

We got some bad news re. funding about our upcoming tour. It's left me in a really difficult situation. If you can help, I'd be unbelievably grateful. Even by sharing and liking the post, you'll be helping. Thanks, Adam x

8 of history's biggest unsung heroes:

1. Stetson Kennedy: Kennedy was a pioneering civil rights activist and writer known for his work against the Ku Klux Klan in the 1940s. Disguising himself as a member, Kennedy infiltrated the Klan & documented their rituals, code words, and activities.

Kennedy then passed this information to law enforcement and media outlets, significantly undermining the Klan's operations. Kennedy's most notable achievement was collaborating with the producers of the extremely popular radio show "The Adventures of Superman."

The show did a series of 16 episodes in which Superman took on the Klan. The trivialization of the Klan's rituals and codewords by the show had a negative impact on Klan recruiting and membership which broadcast Klan secrets and ridiculed their practices, thereby demystifying and weakening the organization's influence.

Kennedy's book, "The Klan Unmasked," detailed his undercover experiences and exposed the Klan's inner workings to a broader audience, contributing to even more decline in Klan membership and activity. Kennedy passed in 2011.

This is Messi. He stole the show at the Oscars last night when a video of him clapping along with the other guests went viral. He played Snoop in Anatomy of a Fall, a film that was nominated for five Oscars, including Best Picture. 14/10 would carry his Oscar for him if he won

This is Sophie. She thinks it's great that you want to get up and do things. She's going to pass. But loves that for you. 13/10

I’m very fond of @KitSinclairO but also never praise shows on here unless I genuinely love them. I adored 30 AND OUT. Do yourself a favour and grab one of these last tickets @sohotheatre.

Still processing Edinburgh Fringe but it’s just hit me….
30 and Out pretty much sold out the entire run with a tiny budget, no PR & no mass machine:
5 awards & nominations.
16 reviews all 4 & 5 stars.
108 oranges consumed.

Put queer stories centre stage.
