𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓(s): Jeff The Killer, Homicidal Liu/Sully, Jane Richardson, Nina The Killer, Clockwork

𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑾𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈: Tbh there aren't many mentions of anything happening, but here's a warning for very brief mentions of human experimentation and demonic presences.

These are all HEADCANON and I do not intend for any of these interpretations to be entirely canon. These are how I see the characters and some rules of the world.

Aging in my Creepypasta universe works like this– unless you don’t completely have a physical form and died early, your body can only age until 25 years old. This is in place to make sure that the body is useful enough but also so that it’s easier for the pastas to get around. For those over this age, they stay at the age they currently are.

The mysterious haunted woods and the Slendermansion therein exist, but not many actually reside there permanently. If the pasta needs technology, is a proxy of Slender, or is willing to meet the requirements to stay, mainly being serving Slender, then they reside there. Other pastas visit but they either live in their own settlements in the woods, or they look and behave in a certain way that allows them to live among society.

Anybody listed as “Nonconforming Humanoid Entity” in regards to species just means that either they are/were human and  we don’t know what they are or that they were never human and… we still don’t know what they are.

Slender isn’t fatherly to anyone that he doesn’t need to be and is not afraid to take away privileges he has given the people who live under him. He is manipulative and crueler than hell itself. 

Creepypasta fans do exist in this universe. They can see you. :)

MONROE FAMILY.

The Monroe family had been in Tonopah Valley for a generation or two by the time Allen Monroe and his new bride, Elaine, decided to create a branch of their own. It didn't come easy– nothing in their bloodline ever would, but they tried, nevertheless. He was a miner and she was a seamstress, and both of them just wanted to make ends meet in a world that wouldn’t have cared less if they faltered. Against all odds, in 1964, the couple bore a son, Michael (Brad Pitt FC), who lived up to his namesake, whether he knew it or not. Naturally, becoming a founding member of an outlaw motorcycle club wasn’t exactly how Allen and Elaine saw Michael living up to the name in the biblical sense, but he’d later live up to it all the same in being a great captain, a leader and a warrior for those around him.

Two years later, Allen and Elaine had a daughter, Diana (Kate Winslet FC), who was just as wild and spirited as her brother, Michael, but had a penchant for trouble that taunted her at every turn. She was unbridled and chaotic with a thirst for life that rivaled anyone in her family who’d come before her. She just wanted to live, and to do so freely. And she did– without an apology.

It was a trend that saw to Diana’s downfall many years later, but in the interim, Allen and Elaine had one more son– a son that came five years after Diana’s birth. His name was Ronald (not pictured)– Ronnie, for short, and if Diana thought she chased life at its fullest, Ronnie had her beat…at least up until he was five years old and fell victim to encephalitis– a disease that saw him fully incapacitated until he passed five years later, aged ten. His passing broke the Monroe family. It threw Allen headfirst into an addiction to alcohol, one that saw him shove away anything and anyone who’d ever mattered. Elaine wasn’t much better. But Michael and Diana marched to the beat of their own drum, much like they always had. Michael was sixteen when he first met Laura Parker (Diane Lane FC), the daughter of a notable horse trainer who had moved to Tonopah in pursuit of something more, much like everyone else who took to the small Nevada town. While it was uncertain if Laura’s father had ever found what he was looking for, there was no dispute that Laura certainly had. She fell for small-time mechanic Michael Monroe in half a heartbeat, and stood by him in the years that he devoted his life to the United States Army. Upon his return from deployment, the two married, and Michael went on to help found the Sons of Silence Motorcycle Club with those closest to him, and with Laura as his old lady.

Meanwhile, Diana had become a popular entertainer in Tonopah. She had a voice that even angels envied and a sort of a charisma most only ever dreamed about. Despite the drugs she leaned on at any given chance, Diana had a real shot and could’ve made it. But– she fell for Jeffrey Decker, a notable businessman and an it man if there ever was one in Tonopah Valley. It didn’t matter that he was married– he’d fallen for the Marilyn Monroe act that she’d captured and catapulted to new heights at Tonopah’s gentleman’s club at the time. She’d won him over, or so she’d thought– a positive pregnancy test a few months into that affair had a way of turning the tide and suddenly, a woman who’d thought she’d been winning had suddenly become the enemy to a man who couldn’t stand the thought of losing. And a bastard son? It was losing in every sense of the word. After a flurry of threats, Diana refused to abort the baby who’d been the end result of that one-sided love affair and she relocated to Knoxville, Tennessee, in a desperate bid to start over and have her baby in peace.

But plans seldom work out the way they’re wired. 

Diana did give birth to her son– Cole Michael Monroe, but he was born tweaking on the drugs in her system and barely survived delivery. Consequently, he underwent a number of surgeries at birth just to ensure his survival. But, he survived and then the real battle started. 

Diana Monroe passed away at age thirty-four following an overdose on heroin and painkillers. Her son, Cole, found her, and was sent to live with his uncle, Michael, and his wife, Laura, in Tonopah Valley. The two of them, unable to have children of their own, cared for him and nurtured him as though he was their own Son.

Michael Monroe passed away at age fifty after a former Los Santos Teniente shot him to death in a driveby– a debt that’s since been repaid by none other than his nephew.

Laura Monroe is still living and is a notable jeweler in Tonopah Valley. She is still a prominent presence in the Sons of Silence clubhouse. Despite everything, the Sons are her family and now that her nephew has taken up the gavel, she’s even more involved, if nothing more than just to cheer him, a mirror image of her Michael, on.

And then there’s Cole–

–That story is still being written.

Jeffrey 😍😍😍

1: sexuality headcanon

The most homosexual man in town😌 Er organisiert auch regelmäßig Pride Partys am Strand🏳️‍🌈🎉

2: otp

x Justus!!! Soft astronomy-boyfriends🥺🥺 Aka Jeffrey ist obsessed mit Sternen (und Justus ist eben Justus) und hat ein sauteures Teleskop und so und die beiden haben Dates nachts am Strand oder auf den Klippen, irgendwo wo sie ungestört sind und Sterne angucken können. Wenn sie mal eine Sternschnuppe sehen, wünschen sie sich beide immer nur das eine und immer nur dasselbe ✨

3: brotp

& Peter (& Finnley) obviously😌 Die coolste Surfergang von Rocky Beach. Vor allem Peter ist eigentlich wirklich eher wie ein Bruder für ihn🥺

4: notp

Ich schließe mich @justusjonas 's Meinung an und sage: naja mit Mädchen halt nh :p 😝✌🏻

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

Abgesehen von Astronomie mag Jeffrey auch Astrologie sehr gerne. Das ist widersprüchlich? Ist mir egal😌 Jeffrey ist die witchy person in Rocky Beach ✨ Damit bringt er Justus gerne zur Weißglut, vor allem als er ihn das erste Mal nach seinem Sternzeichen gefragt hat, war er schockiert, aber letztendlich liebt er ihn trotzdem über alles 😚

6: favourite line from this character

So viele hat er ja nicht. Und ich hab leider leider auch noch kein Buch mit ihm gelesen. Ich mag aber seine ganzen kleinen Hintergrundauftritte und Erwähnungen schon richtig gerne! Wann immer Bob mit Jeffrey eifersüchtig gemacht wird und/oder Jeffrey X Peter so ein bisschen implied wird🤭 Falls das hier auch zählt als Antwort.

7: one way in which I relate to this character

Ich bin auch nett zu jedem Menschen, den ich treffe und versuche, Konflikte grundsätzlich zu vermeiden. Or at least I'm trying. Jeffrey ist halt so mega der gechillte Dude und hat mit niemandem ein Problem, kommt irgendwie mit allen gut aus🤷🏻‍♀️ (ich denke bei ihm immer an die Schildkröte von findet Nemo)

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

Nicht direkt über ihn, aber tbh es ist ein bisschen peinlich, dass wir bis jetzt nur so wenig offiziellen Jeffrey content haben😤 I want clear statements about this man and his sexuality. Also he deserves a canon-boyfriend. Und sonst: I love everything about him, your honour😌

9: cinnamon roll oder problematic fave?

Weder noch. Einfach the biggest sunshine. He will break into a building if Justus and/or Peter are telling him to so but he's also so chill💕

#DANKE! #ich bin krank @ home und hab writers block und das ist eine willkommene Abwechslung #😌 #jeffrey my love <3 #jeffrey palmer

As a rap duo, Will and Jazz was the first rap group to receive a Grammy. Their successful classic summer single “ Summertime” earned them a second Grammy and was number 4 on the Billboard charts. Jazz is a DJ that makes the rapper look good. Some folks only link him to Will Smith, the rapper. People fail to realize he is a prominent DJ in the Hip Hop community. He will stream some of his sets on his website or YouTube.I believe he’s an underrated DJ and should get more credit. Jazz travels the globe djing gigs in exciting places.

It makes a play at it in the very start of the film. It loudly proclaims that, HEY, WATCH THIS MOVIE, IT’S ABOUT FREE SPEECH AND THE HOLLYWOOD BLACKLIST!!!!! And it does it as loud as it can… …and then it kind of forgets what the movie is about up until the last 15 minutes. However, the bulk of the movie does seem like the kind of film that would fit in the Hollywood Blacklist Era. The plot, the acting, the setting, all seems to be very much a 1950s feel good movie… …and then it veers off again and delivers on the 1st Amendment moral to end the film with a light heavy hand…if that makes sense. So, it feels disjointed, but in a way that oddly fits the premise to begin with. Almost as if it is trying to be a movie in a movie, which might have been the point. Watch it once, it will entertain you. Watch it more than once and you’ll be bored.

DJ Jazzy Jeff

Happy Birthday to Jeffrey Allen Townes, known professionally as DJ Jazzy Jeff or simply Jazz, record producer, DJ, actor and comedian who is best known for his friendship and collaboration with Will Smith as DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince.

[corpse-of-bandersnatch]

That's the whole interview with Jeff by Nicole Iskra, in which they also talked about him shaving of his chest hair. It was published in the Moviestar 05/2001 (the interview, not the chest hair).

I won't translate everything word for word, but if you wish a closer translation of a special topic/question, let me know and I try my best. (Also I apologize for the bad quality of the middle part of the scanned magazine).

PARALLAX – Madness from the Internet

„I was the Incarnation of their worst nightmare!“ - An interview with Jeffrey Combs

Before the interview starts, they introduce the latest movie Jeff was in back then, which is Parallax aka FearDotCom (almost the complete first column describes the Plot). Parts of it where shot in Luxembourg, which is also the Place where the interviewer meets Mr. Combs.

They meet in front of the Inter-Continental Hotel. Mr. Combs is PISSED, because the breakfast in the Hotel was awful (slimy fried egg) and the staff was rude (someone came in his room without knocking or apologizing, while he was sitting on his bed, only wearing a T-Shirt and Shorts).

They walk into the City of Luxembourg and Jeff's wondering about the many colourful life-sized cow sculptures, that you can find everywhere in town (quote: „Is this supposed to be art?!“).

He's searching for a souvenir for his wife, but in in his opinion, all of the dresses are outdated and their colours terrible. The interviewer teaches him the very important rule „Grün und Blau schmückt die Sau“.

They decide to eat in a Burger Restaurant called „Maybe not Bob's“, where he orders chicken wings with french fries and a coke (quote: „like a real American“).

Jeff speaks about the results of his genealogical research: Originally, his family came from Devon in England, but settled 1619 in Jamestown (Virginia) to work for Virginian Tobacco Co.

1. Question: The first question is about the renaming of FearDotCom to Parallax (reason being uncertainty about who owns the name). It follows more describing of the movie’s plot, this time from Mr. Combs himself.

His friend Bill Malone directed Parallax/FDC and offered Jeff the role, because they already worked together in Haunted Hill and Perversions of Science.

2. Question: You got along so well with Peter Jackson while filming The Frighteners. Will you at least get a Cameo in Lord of the Rings, even if it's only as Orc Nr. 260?

JC: That's the one Orc, that survived, right? (laughs). Nah seriously, I didn't get a role, unfortunately. I auditioned, , but the problem was the british accent. I can imitate it, but when you're surrounded by actors like Ian McKellen and Ian Holm, it's really not hard to tell who's a „real  Briton“ and who's not.

3. Question: Did your latest movie before Parallax/FDT – The Attic Expeditions –  had it's premiere in America yet?

JC: No, not yet. The world premiere was a couple of weeks ago here in Luxembourg and it was also shown on Festivals in Edinburgh and Amsterdam. Sadly, they didn't show it on the film festival in Brussel.

I'm really enthused by The attic Expeditions, because it's interesting, not linear, not logical, with few horror elements, but the horror is mostly psychological. It's like a dream in a nightmare on a trip. The longer you watch the movie, the less you know, what's real, it's a really complex movie, especially by american standards.

4. Question: In retrospect, would you call your role as Herbert West a curse?

JC: (sighs) Somehow, it's a curse and a blessing at the same time. Thanks to the role, I was branded as „Horror actor“ in Hollywood. After Deep Space Nine I was branded as „Horror- and Sci Fi- actor“. Movie people love to categorize you. On the other hand, the role of Herbert West opened up a lot of possibilities for me.

5. Question: 10 Years ago you told a funny story at a convention in New York, about sth. that happened while filming From Beyond. Could you maybe tell it again for the Moviestar readers?

JC: You mean the one with the children?

MS: Exactly!

JC: (grins) Well, we were already filming for a month – so I've been in this horrible make-up for 30 days already, with this awful head piece that looked like a red dog dick. I looked worse than Quasimodo! That's why I ate mostly in my dressing room. One day, they shot a commercial with a bunch of 4-year-old children in mushroom costumes on the same soundstage. We met in the hallway and as soon as those poor, innocent children saw me, all hell has broken loose. I was the incarnation of their worst nightmare, they screamed and ran to their mothers, who wanted to lynch me on the spot. So now it was me, who ran away.

But that's how it is, when you have a lot to do with make-up and masks and stuff like this. Not long ago, I was strapped to a cross made out of tubes, my throat was „cut“, there was blood all over me. And sometimes, when you're hanging there long enough, the crew just forgets that you're there, because for them, you just turned into a part of the set. Until you give a signal: „Umm sorry, guys, could you..maybe..“ - „Oh yeah sure, sorry Jeff, sorry..“

6. Question: (you might already know this one from this post): After that scene in From Beyond, in which you get eaten by this worm, your chest is as smooth as that of a baby – did they shave off your chest fur?

Jeff: Yes! (laughs)

MS: Did you do it yourself?

Jeff: Yes and I learnt something very important: Never use a normal razor blade, an electric razor is way better and safer and it doesn’t itch as badly, when the hair grows back. I had to shave my chest for a theater role once as well. I was 26 or so and played an 18-year-old.

7. Question: Do you still play in theatres regulary?

JC: No, not in the past couple of years, though theatre is very dear to my heart. Back in the days, I loved to play in theatres – living like a gypsy, 8 weeks in San Diego, and somewhere else afterwards. But that's not how I want to live today, now that I have a family. I don't like to leave my two little girls for several weeks, plus an engagement in a theatre isn't really helpful financially. I earn the same money in 1 week of shooting a movie as I do in 4-5 months of theatre work.

8. Question: I read that Woody Allen pays every actor 5.000 Dollar, because in his opinion, no one is worth 20 Million Dollar, neither beginner nor Superstar. What do you think about the explosive growth of fees nowadays?

JC: I do think that you should take the money, that the market offers you. But somebody, who earns 20 Millions per movie should share at least a million with their not so lucky co-actors.  No, seriously, it's not that easy to make a living. A friend of mine got a job, where he plays the brother of Kevin Costner. When I asked him, if he gets payed well, he shook his head and said, that he only gets tariff plus 10%. Tariff is the lowest wage possible, that was defined by union. My friend had the choice to either work with Costner or don't. And as an actor you always hope that a movie like this becomes a success and maybe improves your chances in Hollywood.

MS: Thank you for making so much time for us!

Upcoming Horror Movies in September 2020: Theaters, Streaming, and VOD

https://ift.tt/2DAWlXd

As our esteemed Film Editor David Crow has said elsewhere, movies are back — but in a sense they’ve never really gone away. New original films have been popping up via streaming and video-on-demand all throughout the reign of the coronavirus, and they continue to do so even as theaters begin to reopen and the studios slowly start to fill them with new releases as well.

The operative word here is “slow”: we’re not seeing a deluge of new films anywhere — the big or small screen — but there is a steady flow of them nonetheless, and as is often the case, horror leads the way. Below is a round-up of fresh horror releases coming your way (or there already) in the US and UK, available either at your local multiplex (and we urge you to keep the risks of going to the theater in mind) or right in your living room. Hopefully, unlike the real world, some of the scares below are fun.

20th Century Studios

The New Mutants

Out in theaters now in the US and UK

Yes, technically, The New Mutants is an X-Men movie and the last entry in what was once 20th Century Fox’s (RIP) extended Marvel X-Men Universe. But director Josh Boone set out to place his young mutants in a horror setting, and while reviews are mixed, comparisons to A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors have been tossed around. It arrived in US theaters on August 28 and in the UK just this past weekend.

RLJE Films

The Owners

Out now on VOD

Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams not only toplines The New Mutants but she also stars here as the girlfriend of a trio of lads who decide to rob the home of a wealthy doctor (one-time Doctor Who Time Lord Sylvester McCoy) and his wife (Rita Tushingham). Once the young scoundrels get inside the house, however, the seemingly doddering couple apparently prove to have some hidden, deadly talents. We’re getting a Don’t Breathe vibe from this original thriller by first-time feature director Julius Berg.

Dark Star Pictures

Koko-Di, Koko-Da

Streaming in the UK on September 7

As a shattered couple still reeling from the loss of their little daughter embark on a camping trip that takes them into a horrific time loop/killing box, they find themselves at the mercy of demonic fairy tale-like beings — the very manifestation of their grief, tormenting them over and over again in nightmarishly surreal fashion. We saw this Danish/Swedish co-production last year and were rattled by its combination of spine-chilling imagery, sadistic terror and parental loss.

Signature Entertainment

Two Heads Creek

On VOD in the UK from September 7

Following the death of their adoptive mother, a shy butcher (Stephen Hunter from the Hobbit trilogy) and his overly dramatic sister (All is True’s Kathryn Wilder) journey to Australia to find their real mom. Their quest leads them to the small, delightfully named town of Two Heads Creek, where the siblings make it just in time for dinner. Hey, we can always use a good cannibal horror-comedy at a time when one wonders if the food supply chain is going to break down anytime soon…

Dark Star Pictures

Entwined

Out in the US via VOD on September 8

Panos (Prometheus Aleifer), a city doctor, relocates his practice to a remote village and quickly falls for Danae (Anastasia Rafaella Konidi), who lives in isolation with a mysterious skin condition. Determined to find Danae a cure, Panos discovers her dark secret and that all — surprise, surprise — is not what it seems. A folk horror tale steeped in local mythology from first-time feature director Minos Nikolakakis.

The Best Horror Movies to Watch on Shudder

By Rosie Fletcher

IFC Midnight

Rent-A-Pal

In select theaters and VOD on September 11

Wesley Crusher is back! Wil Wheaton (Star Trek: The Next Generation) stars in this satirical thriller, in which a lonely bachelor named David (Brian Landis Folkins), tasked with caring for his elderly mother but desperate for companionship, discovers a strange VHS tape (this is set in 1990) called ​Rent-A-Pal.​ The host is the “charming and charismatic” Andy (Wheaton), whose friendship comes at a chilling cost. Does that include watching infamous TNG episodes like “The Game” and “The Dauphin”?

Shudder

Spiral

Available for streaming on Shudder on September 17

Described by Wicked Horror as the most “intelligently conceived take on queer horror…to date,” Spiral stars Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman and Ari Cohen as a couple who move to a small town in an effort to find a better quality of life for themselves and their 16-year-old daughter. But despite a nice welcome from the neighbors, nothing is what it seems and sinister forces gather against the two men. Kurtis David Harder directs this genre exploration of societal rejection, ostracization and hate (this is not related, by the way, to the Saw spin-off/sequel still awaiting release).

Vertical Entertainment

No Escape aka Follow Me (UK)

Available on VOD and in theaters in the US on September 18

A social media star (Keegan Allen) and his friends head to Moscow for their latest online stunt, but soon find themselves the victims of grisly, livestreamed tortures inside a hidden chamber of horrors. We detect whiffs of Saw, Hostel and, yes, Escape Room here. Oddly enough, director Will Wernick made a movie called Escape Room in 2017 — not to be confused with the 2019 horror hit of the same name. This one sounds like it’s for fans of watching loud, obnoxious young people die in painful agony.

Magnet

Alone

Available on VOD and in theaters in the US on September 18

John Hyams (who helmed the last two Universal Soldier movies and is the son of 2010 director Peter Hyams) directs this thriller starring Jules Willcox (Netflix’s Bloodline). The latter plays Jessica, a grief-stricken widow who leaves the city and heads into the countryside to cope with the loss of her husband.  But things take a turn for the worse when she is kidnapped and locked in a cabin in the Pacific Northwest by a mysterious man, who pursues her after she escapes into the wilderness. We’re sure there’s a twist or two in there somewhere to keep viewers on their toes…

Matt Kennedy/Lionsgate

Antebellum

Available on VOD in the US on September 18

Originally scheduled for theatrical release earlier this year, Antebellum has been the source of speculation around its mysterious time travel plot and provocative concept of putting modern woman Janelle Monae back into the Deep South in the mid-1800s. Positioned as a genre take on racism in the vein of recent successes like Get Out and Us, Antebellum has sadly lost some momentum due to weak advance reviews; but we still want to see it ourselves, mainly for Monae and to see how directors Gerard Bush and Christopher Renz pull off the film’s secretive twists.

The Crucible (1996)

🧙‍♀️☠️

Based on the acclaimed play by Arthur Miller, this historical drama film is a somewhat fictionalized take on the 1692 Salem witch trials.

The cast includes: Daniel Day-Lewis as landowner John Proctor, Winona Ryder as Abigail Williams, Joan Allen as John’s wife Elizabeth Proctor, Jeffrey Jones (who Winona Ryder starred opposite in Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice) as Thomas Putnam and Paul Scofield as the man assigned to oversee the trials known as Judge Thomas Danforth.

The plot begins when Abigail Williams, along with a dozen teenage girls and their Barbadian slave Tituba, gather in the forest in the middle of the night for a love-conjuring ceremony. All of a sudden, the local Reverand Samuel Parris, Abigail’s uncle, stumbles upon their ritual act. He immediately declares their unusual talents as witchcraft to the whole town of Puritan Salem, Massachusetts, striking fear that the Devil has been unleashed.

The entire village is consumed with mass hysteria and innocent victims are taken away from their homes under false charges of being witches. Abigail, who John Proctor had an affair with (effectively cheating on Elizabeth), only to reject her after realizing his mistake, plots to destroy John’s romance with Elizabeth and have him all to herself by accusing his own wife of witchery. Therefore, Abigail’s relentless desire leads to a callous disregard for human life.

The list of people who stand accused stems from the pious Judge Danforth rousing with demonic presence. Meanwhile, the afflicted Abigail and her friends proclaim they’d seen the Devil interacting with the spirits of those each girl wished were dead out of spite or hatred.

Each actor and actress portray their characters in such a believable style, especially when Daniel Day-Lewis is slowly driven into madness and guilt as John Proctor. Winona Ryder plays a more complicated version of Abigail in the film: the main accuser who has basically fallen into the role of both villain and victim (even though she does all she can to defend her reputation). Also, whether or not Abigail was truly a witch, she embodies the necessary qualities of one as a result of female empowerment. Yet underneath her spiteful derangement, she is a girl desperate for love.

The setting of colonial Massachusetts in the late 17th century is made to look extremely authentic with its lumber buildings, strictly religious atmosphere and livestock used for labor work.

Finally, the core message of the story is that no matter how much anyone might try to redeem themselves, the law regarding devout acts of religion doesn’t always guarantee freedom. It highlights the importance of the separation of church and state, which is why it was crucial in order to have a fair judicial system. All that said, I highly recommend this stage production-turned-period film to all who love to watch truth on trial.

Vanity Fair Article.

By now you probably know that Jeffrey Epstein, accused pedophile who died in his jail cell, had a portrait of Bill Clinton dressed in a blue dress and heels in his Upper East Side mansion. The artist is Petrina Ryan-Kleid, a satirical portrait artist who works mostly in oils, and she completed the work, called Parsing Bill, when she was MFA student at the New York Academy of Art. The piece went up for auction at the Tribeca Ball in 2012, though it’s unclear if that’s when Epstein acquired it. It is without a doubt a cursed image, especially loaded up with all the relevant context. Epstein died in prison. Clinton was a friend of Epstein; recently released private flight logs even show that Clinton rode on Epstein’s private jet. The blue dress could be one obvious reference, or it could be the blue dress Hillary Clinton wore to the 2009 Kennedy Center Honors—or both! Art does not play by the one-reference rule. But so, yeah, if it’s your thing, you could have a mini print for $40 before tax and shipping.

The other stuff in Epstein’s house is a little more tricky to acquire, and might be even more cursed. The town house, which federal investigators recently raided for evidence of a prostitution ring of underage girls, is on East 71st between Madison and Fifth, a block from Central Park. It’s famously one of largest homes in Manhattan—itself a renovated private school originally bought by Epstein’s mentor and Victoria’s Secret owner, Leslie Wexner. Epstein downright filled it with creepy stuff. Like the rows and rows of eyeballs framed in the entrance hall, which Vicky Ward observed in her 2003 piece for Vanity Fair. They were “imported from England.” Also in the entranceway, he had a chess board with figurines modeled in the image of his staff, per the New York Times. They were “dressed suggestively.” There was a stuffed dog in his study perched on a piano, according to Ward again. Of it, he would tell visitors, “No decorator would ever tell you to do that. But I want people to think what it means to stuff a dog.” It was a black poodle.

R. Couri Hay, an old spin doctor who has worked for or with many New York characters, and whom the Times said learned from “the great spinmeisters of the world” in a 2014 profile, told them recently, gosh, so much: He said that on the second floor there was a mural that Epstein commissioned, which depicted a prison scene with Epstein in the middle of barbed wire and guards. Hay told the Times that Epstein had invited him to the mansion off Fifth to see the mural and noted, “He said, ‘That’s me, and I had this painted because there is always the possibility that could be me again.’”

Epstein had no computers in his study, at least as of Ward’s 2003 story, but kept the computers in their own “computer room.” He had a “leather room,” a room covered in leather. He had “twice-life-size sculpture of a naked African warrior,” according to Ward. There was a life-size female doll hanging from the chandelier, as another anonymous visitor told the Times. There was a wall of ignominy that featured photographs of Mohammed bin Salman and Woody Allen.

So cursed portraits, weird dog stuff, ghosts probably, the entire life of a sinister finance man, the extent of whose abuses is still being determined. The reasons not to buy this mansion are, it seems, literally endless.
