Things

Some miscellaneous things that you may or may not be interested in:

If you live in or around Portland, Oregon, there is a series of silent films paired with live music which is happening at the Hollywood Theatre. I saw Murnau’s FAUST with the 1939 Ensemble there a few weeks ago and loved it. Next up in the series is Tod Browning’s THE UNKNOWN (1927) with music by Subterranean Howl. Silent film! Lon Chaney Sr.! Joan F’ing Crawford! Tod Browning!

Propnomicon Gear

Regular readers will no doubt be familiar with the amazing Cthulhu mythos prop site Propnomicon, and if you’re not, now is the perfect day to acquaint yourself. In the past I’ve provided information about Propnomicon’s Kickstarter projects.

Recently, Propnomicon posted photos of a frankly shocking and ghastly parasitic worm specimen in a jar that they are selling on eBay. Click here for the post on Propnomicon. For the curious, more pictures and a short back-story can be seen here on eBay. I clicked the link and discovered that along with the parasitic worm prop they are also selling some of the cool badges and gear from past projects. So if you missed getting in on any of Propnomicon’s Kickstarter projects, it’s not too late to score some gear. My favorites are the Antarctic and Australian expedition patches. This is, by the way, a great way to support sites that are doing this very important work for the benefit of humankind. Check out Propnomicon’s stuff on eBay.

P.S. All photos here are by Propnomicon, who I hope won’t mind my including them here.

F.W. Murnau’s Faust

Just a very fast and dreadfully tardy public service announcement to any readers in Portland, Oregon that tonight at the Hollywood Theater there will be a showing of F.W. Murnau’s classic silent movie Faust (1926). In addition, the film will be accompanied by a live ensemble. Details are here.

“Yes. Yes.” You may say. “But silent films are such a bore.” Let me support you, dear reader, in that statement. Your humble servant has sat through more than a few awful silent films in his unnaturally long span on this planet. I’ve never seen Faust, but I did have the opportunity to see Murnau’s Nosferatu (1922) on the big screen long, long ago. I can still remember where I was when I saw it, it made such an impression on me. Let me also add that Faust is rated number 6 greatest horror film of all time on IMDB, just below John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982) and right above the aforementioned Nosferatu and William Friedkin’s The Exorcist (1973).

Here is a chance to see it on a big screen! With a live ensemble! I will be there.
