"A Ghost Story" by Mark Twain (1870)
"Then it occurred to me to come over the way and haunt this place a little."
Twain does it again with a welcome satirical break in the so serious streak of short stories I’d been reading.

"Chemical 13!" by Michael Woods & Saskia Gutekunst (2009)
"Everything is fine."
Comeuppance stories about Nazis getting the wrath they deserve don’t hit the same anymore, not when they are just still around in daily life.

The Mafu Cage dir. Karen Arthur (1978)
"Do not smile during a sacred ritual."
Whoa, Carol Kane. I mean I know she has horror chops from last year’s viewing of Office Killer, but that was still leaning into her comedic sensibilities. This is before Taxi and Kane gets to stretch more in this intense story about familial obsession.
that The Mafu Cage is not even on effedupmovies and is only on yt with an italian dub when I do not speak italian... personal attack against me. tried to download it off of p**atebay when I was home for the holidays and it downloaded only like 78%. streaming this movie through il**gal sources is proving exceedingly difficult.
Karen Arthur one of the best female directors to ever live on this planet she directed the Mafu Cage my all time favourite movie can we appreciate her amazing ability to direct a great movie starring Carol Kane and Lee Grant 🖤❤️
Okay check out THE MAFU CAGE if you haven't. It's extremely engrossing and tragic and horrifying. One of the better horrors I've seen this year. One of Carol Kane's best performances
