    31 Days of Halloween (2022)

    I last looked into it a few years ago, and I don't remember now much of what I read, but I added the Mireille Ribière version to my Amazon bookmarks at the time. I included a note that said "not the best translation; but has the best annotations"...

    I always meant to do this before the crash, and...well, actually, as far as anyone knows, I did. There's no proof, we can be the writers of our own histories now. A catch-all thread for people who like to think of Halloween as a month, not a day. To talk about horror movies (old favorites and...
