Dune (aka Dune: Part One) By Denis Villeneuve.

Fun Fact:

The Cheshire Cat was first introduced in Lewis Carroll's novel "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". The character was inspired by an old phrase "Smiling like a Cheshire cat". The origins of that phrase are still debated to this day, but the most widely accepted theory is that it refers to a cat living in the English county of Cheshire, which is known for producing a lot of milk and dairy, which cats love, hence the smiling. Carroll decided to personify the cat from that phrase, he gave it a physical form, a personality and magic powers. In the book, the cat doesn't play quite as large a role as he does in the Disney movie, but the two have very similar characteristics. They talk in really confusing ways that are sometimes funny but also kind of annoying, they raise philosophical questions to Alice even though she clearly doesn't understand them and while they sometimes appear to be making a situation worse for her, they're actually rooting for Alice to succeed and even are helping her indirectly.

"Be like water; water has form and yet it has no form. It is the softest element on earth, yet it penetrates the hardest rock. It has no shape of its own, yet it can take any shape in which it is placed. In a cup, it becomes the shape of the cup. In a vase, it takes the shape of the vase and curls about the stems of flowers. Put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Please observe the adaptability of water. If you squeeze it fast, the water will flow out quickly. If you squeeze it slowly, it will come out slowly. Water may seem to move in contradiction, even uphill, but it chooses any way open to it so that it may reach the sea. It may flow swiftly or it may flow slowly, but its purpose is inexorable, its destiny sure." - Bruce Lee

Paprika (パプリカ) by Satoshi Kon.

Based on the 1993 novel of the same name by Japanese author Yasutaka Tsutsui.

At once playful and nightmarish. Incredibly prophetic. Prefigures our modern virtual world.

A feast for the eyes.

The Last Voyage of the Demeter (also known as Dracula: Voyage of the Demeter) by André Øvredal.

Based on "The Captain's Log", a chapter from the 1897 novel Dracula by Bram Stoker.

Gorgeous, lavish and vicious!!

Fun Fact:

Bad news everyone. If you've seen a ghost recently, then there's a chance you have black mold poisoning. At least that's the theory that scientists at Clarkson University started studying in 2015.

Their hypothesis was that experiencing paranormal phenomenon at older homes could actually result from the presence of black mold, which is known to cause hallucinations, delusions, anxiety, depression and the feeling of impending doom. Rye ergot fungus is one culprit they're paying special attention to, because it can have a psychedelic effect when ingested and some even think that ergot growing on crops may have been what created the delusions and mass hysteria during the Salem Witch Trials.

Is black mold poisoning better or worse than being haunted?

Beautiful! ^^

On November 15, 1966, two young couples from Point Pleasant, West Virginia—Roger and Linda Scarberry, and Steve and Mary Mallette—told police they were chased by a large white creature whose eyes "glowed red". They described it as a flying man with 10-foot wings and said it followed their car while they were driving in an area of town known as the "the TNT area", the site of a former World War II munitions plant. This creature came to be known as "Mothman" and has since been blamed for everything from causing TV static to killing pets to even a bridge collapse. Folklorist Jan Harold Brunvand claims the creature was something real and frightening, but explainable, that got woven into local legends. Others have claimed the creature was a UFO, some a large owl and others say it's a large American Crane.

What do you think the Mothman is?

Freaks (also re-released as The Monster Story, Forbidden Love, and Nature's Mistakes) by Tod Browning.

Based on elements from the short story "Spurs" by Tod Robbins.

Step right up and be horrified! Or be sympathetic, that works too. This is a unique film. Believe me, there has never been and will never be a film like this again.

Get this: After the success of Universal's original "Dracula" in 1931, MGM approached its director Tod Browning to make "the scariest film ever made". So what did Browning do? He gathered real circus sideshow performers from all over the country and made the movie "Freaks". The movie's so shocking that MGM was sued by one audience member who claimed that seeing the movie gave her a miscarriage. This movie is so controversial that there are still cities in the United States where it's illegal to even show it!

Just a word of warning before you decide to go see this, some of the people in this movie do look very disturbing. If you'd rather not subject yourself to that kind of imagery, then it would probably be best to not see it. Regardless, this film is full of iconic moments of pure cinema, pulpy horror, carny noir, and perverse melodrama. Freaks is still unclassifiable after many decades. It's still sick, twisted, perverse and profoundly human. It contains Tod Browning's view of the world at its purest.

"Perhaps Madame Leota can establish contact. She has a remarkable head for materializing the disembodied."
