can you recommend any other books that would be excellent supplemental reads for horror fans? 😅

This is a low-chance wide-net sort of throw, but if you ever find an old book called Witchcraft, Demons (possibly Demonology), and the Occult (not the Encyclopedia by Robbins, already bought that one to verify), please let me know! It was the book I checked out in my elementary school library so often that the checkout card in the back was just my name written from 1st to 5th grade. Here in Republican Tennessee they almost certainly burned the book when they renovated the school, and my teachers from those days who would know are all dead of old age. It was a nondescript green book with a kind of glossed-over thread-texture cover. It had so much great info in it that doesn't seem to exist on the Internet anywhere - like a Ripley's Believe it or Not collection of rare and weird tales from across the world. For instance there's a story (non narrative, sort of like a newspaper article in writing style) about an archaeologist who found a scarab ring and proposed to his wife with it, but when she slid it on a hidden gear on the underside made the scarab legs close on her finger and deliver lethal poison. It had pictures of Baphomet and diagrams of how to look between a dog's ears to see ghosts. Anyways, I've been searching for it for years and it looks like you're boning up on witchery, so thought I'd throw it out there.

I do have to say I finally watched Season 3 a couple or few weeks ago and despite nobody ever even bringing it up (I think maybe nobody actually watched it?) it's quite good.

It's definitely all part of the "movies that Jay Bauman from Red Letter Media holds in high esteem" accolade category

I don't think I've encountered a movie that has done for me what Midsommar has! Just now getting ready to watch the final hour of your Midsommar deep (deeeeeeep) dive! Thank you so much for putting that together!

I had totally forgotten what being scared, thrilled and emotionally charged, all at the same time was. Maybe when I was in my late 20’s in an Ivy League Business School. So I feel very sure I have made the right decision. My life is invigorated, while I had felt numb for at least 15 years. I don’t want to go back, and I am not going back. There are so many blessings that are continually manifesting, since I took the plunge, that I am absolutely surprised how much easier it has been, than what I had imagined. Because I was trapped in my head. With fear alone of doing this. I have chosen love for life, love for this world. It is, you can say, a spiritual epiphany. Impossible to describe with the best diction. I am so happy for you. I encourage anyone, whenever possible, to choose Life. Which means being excited about it. And that change has been a calling I have ignored for at least 5 years. No more. It is truly, a NEW me. And I am loving every minute of it. You will feel the same, trust me. Enjoy your process!!

Thank you so much for that Elio, I think that's where my heads at, I've never been making a lot of money anyway, I've always been happy so long as I have rent covered. And it certainly feels like the universe is pushing me towards this somewhat so I'm going to take the risk because I think I'd always regret it if not. Your pivot sounds just as exciting too, and honestly I have a couple of friends doing import/export and they are making a looooot of money so I wish you best of luck in that regard. Sometimes a change is what's needed!

Thank you so much for the support Nicole, lots more on the way!

I don't think it's as stellar as Hereditary or Midsommar (certainly not as complex) but I think it's been more culturally pervasive than either of them so a lot for us to look at there. I hope you're feeling a bit better today!

LFG!

True Detective Season 1 is exceptional, I absolutely adore it (damn shame what happened with the rest of it but hey ho). I'm going to make a post about this some time soon but my plan from here on out for future Complete Guides is to let patreon select the nominations that the YT crowd will then vote on. So when that time comes round please do suggest TDS01 because I love it dearly.

Bring on Black Phillip 🐐 🙌

Loved the video!! Would love to see you cover the lovecraftian lore in True Detective s1 after the VVitch if ur looking for further projects

Anne

Literally just watched VVitch for the first time TODAY! Sick and in bed and wanted something to watch that I’d always been hearing about but never took the plunge. I enjoyed it! Of course I had to take to Google for a few questions, but it was good!

I worked on Wall Street for 27 years, then decided I needed a change in my life. I took the risk, and pivoted into Translating Services. I’ve been doing it for almost 2 years, and I am getting better with experience. Not making the money I was before, but I can see so much more room for improvement. I will be making much more as time goes on. I am even venturing into import/export with my Sister. I will end up making about the same amount money, maybe more, and without all that stress, having a flexible work schedule, and keen on how this new chapter in my life keeps developing. I totally support and understand your state right now. Fret not. When things are done with passion, they pay off. Big time. And your work here is filled to the brim with it. I am looking forward to your success as well, see you grow in all realms. I will keep supporting your work, because I enjoy it so much. Here’s to the new content that is coming ahead. Best of luck !
