Oh I love the original Wicker Man. I’m a little more mixed on The Witch and Robert Eggers in genereal, though I’ve seen most of his films and am looking forward to his upcoming Nosferatu. Thomas Ligotti is great. He’s a weird fiction guy, I guess. Very strange, disturbing, and dryly funny stories.
For folk horror I’ve been finishing up the…[Read more]

I also love Halloween. My wife and I have been sneaking out the decorations earlier and earlier every year. She’s was more of a horror kid than I was, I was too scared, but I’ve come to really love the genre. Mostly movies, mostly older moodier ones. I’m currently finishing up a set of folk horror movies. I have started trying to read at least one…[Read more]

This a great idea! Libraries should be doing everything they can to increase their footprint in the community, as one of the increasingly rare completely free, open resources. I wonder if there are any plans to include any non-traditional library material, a kind of Library of Things. It’d be great if people could zip over to a local library…[Read more]

Hi everyone! I’m currently home with a sleepy newborn and on leave from work, so I’ve had plenty of binging time! I just finished watching all of the Alien movies I had not seen or had not seen in a very long time, in preparation for when I can watch Alien Romulus at home. I also, to keep the sci-fi franchise theme going, binged a few of the…[Read more]

Oh nice! That sounds like really interesting blend. I mainly focused on European art-house and experimental film while in school, but my tastes have expanded to include noir (thanks TCM!) and a much greater appreciation for horror. The latter took me a while to come around on because when I was younger, the tension during the build up to the…[Read more]

Nice to meet you, Louis! Last semester, I took a class and one of my assignments was the evaluation of incorporating the Orbit Reader for patrons of the Braille Institute Library. Here’s to a good semester!

Greetings @Louis! I am happy to read about your experience and interest in film. I did a minor in film studies during my undergrad. I recall focusing on film noir, horror films and semiotics, and exp[erimental film making.
Welcome to #hyperlib!

Oh nice! That sounds like really interesting blend. I mainly focused on European art-house and experimental film while in school, but my tastes have expanded to include noir (thanks TCM!) and a much greater appreciation for horror. The latter took me a while to come around on because when I was younger, the tension during the build up to the inevitable jump-scares worked too well for me. It was more stress than the movies were worth. While I’m still not a fan of all that, I’ve come to really enjoy the wide range of horror films that are mostly moody and weird and full of incredible images.

@louis Congratulations on your new baby, that is so awesome! I also just binged the Alien movies and went to see Romulus in theaters – and it was SO GOOD and did not disappoint. Also, that’s so exciting that you just started GoT. GoT is my favorite show and is so epic. I hope you have fun watching it!
@Louis Congrats on the new little one! I have been a longtime fan of the Alien franchise although later films were not as finely presented as the first two. I am eager to stream Romulus as well.
