Day 3 of Tube Talk Is Haunted!
@vanessa-armstrong.comReposted by @vanessa-armstrong.comPan's Labyrinth turns 20 this month and a 4K version is heading back to theaters. I talked to Doug Jones and Ivana Baquero about their first scene together (which is also the movie's last), practical effects, and what makes the movie so resonant today.

All week I'm reviving Tube Talk's spookiest stories: spirit phones, ghost-summoning books, a medium who beat a Victorian lie detector.
The goal: 5 new paid Tube Talkers by 10/11. Witches flying 0/5.

@vanessa-armstrong.comThis week, a 4K version of Pan's Labyrinth heads to theaters. I talked to Doug Jones and Ivana Baquero about their first scene together (which is also the movie's last), practical effects, and what makes the movie still resonate, 20 years later. Give it a read!
