Shudder US again sweeps the most content category between the regions. Our selection for US Shudder subscribers this month is Skull: The Mask.

Skull: The Mask Poster

Nothing like a gory slasher for the American markets, right? Well, this Portuguese slasher is a surprising but exciting addition to the Shudder library. Skull: The Mask (aka Skull: A Máscara de Anhangá) is a 2020 Brazilian-American slasher that is written and directed by Armando Fonseca and Kapel Furman. The film follows a detective (Natallia Rodrigues) who investigates a pre-Columbian god who is cutting a swath of bloody sacrifices throughout San Paolo.

Rock the Vote for Real

Star spangled costume identity portrait of myself - Rock the Vote
Star spangled costume identity portrait of myself

If you live in the United States, it’s time to rock the vote for real. I shared this video before in conjunction with my identity-based costume work, and I feel it’s important to revisit now, with the election coming up in just a few days. Besides which, Jack Black and Tenacious D are brilliant and given the current political climate, who doesn’t want to do the time warp? But seriously, get out and rock the vote, your life kinda does depend on it (at least insomuch as being able to make for yourself the life that you want, without the government telling you how to do so – especially if you live on the fringes of socially acceptable awkwardness like me and so many of my friends).

tenacious d rock-y the vote

Besides which, this video is so good, it’s worth sharing again anyway. And again, if for some reason the video doesn’t load, you can find it here.

Art Attack

And here are some artworks I made awhile back as political commentary. The photograph was shot of the scene exactly as found, of a sign above a parking lot in a quickly gentrifying neighborhood making sure all knew that any unauthorized vehicles were unwelcome, and hung right in front of a flag that was tattered and torn from being caught on the chain link fence driving the point home. The flags were meant to be interactive, with gallerygoers waving them while singing The Star Spangled Banner in its elitist entirety. The whole really spoke to me regarding some of the political climate at the time (this was right before Trump was elected President the first time). How much has changed since then? In some ways, a lot. In other ways, I guess we shall see.
