Long considered an oddity in the Universal Horror canon, DRACULA'S DAUGHTER has since been recognized as a visually lush queer–coded classic thanks to Gloria Holden's nuanced performance.

See it on June 5, part of our Disreputable Cinema series.

I needed a break from writing, so I decided to distract myself from my anxious mind with an art break.

The colours is Spring in the Mojave Desert 🌺 The fact that it's widely believed that deserts are devoid of life is wildly inaccurate—in fact, the amount of thriving (not just surviving) that happens here is pure magic✨

@AP Her work was so Influential to me; when I was taught about her work in elementary school, after my teacher read us Tar Beach, I learned that art doesn't have to be just paintings or drawings. It made me realize that crocheting, which I'd just learned, can be art, too😌

@RueMorgue I had nightmares for years involving that creature; I was terrified it would climb up into my bed and get me! The creature design is still equal parts stunning and terrifying🫣
