@hauntingtheatom.bsky.socialMy favourite pic from yesterday's visit to the Victorian subway in Crystal Palace. I was one of the first in, so I managed to grab a few snaps without fellow visitors in shot.
@hauntingtheatom.bsky.socialThis afternoon saw my first visit to Crystal Palace's restored Victorian subway. It was a 35-minute taster of Dracula, performed by British Touring Shakespeare, that finally got me down there. Really enjoyable show: a great cast in what felt like a fitting location, of which they made good use.
@hauntingtheatom.bsky.socialFinally managed to lay my paws on John Carpenter's Cathedral - the graphic novel, I mean. I've been spinning the album since its release, but I've had a bit of a 'mare getting hold of the book, which seems to be a rare sight in UK shops, both online and offline. Feels good to be holding it at last.
@hauntingtheatom.bsky.socialReposted by @hauntingtheatom.bsky.socialI've made a new video with @deadlight-dance.bsky.social. Back in July, Tim rewatched They Live, and later suggested that if we nicked its core idea and gave it a #vegan twist it'd make a good basis for the band’s next promo. As a fan of both the film and not eating animals, I agreed. So here it is.
@hauntingtheatom.bsky.socialYesterday I was asked, via a paid study, how I'd feel about a 'digital twin' of me - an A.I. clone built from my online profile - answering questions on my behalf. I find the idea terrifying. Just being asked about it is haunting me. I couldn't help but think: 'Erm... why are you asking?'.

@hauntingtheatom.bsky.socialWent to see Reece Shearsmith's new show, Things I Took From The Dark, at the London Palladium. A comedic (book) tour of some objets d'horreur, with autobiographical chat and a chance to ask questions*. Splendid evening. Just gotta shift this curse now... * Anonymously via text - aka the best way.
@deadlight-dance.bsky.socialReposted by @hauntingtheatom.bsky.social*Glass Walls* is the next @hauntingtheatom.bsky.social and Deadlight Dance music video. It is coming to our YouTube channel very shortly. Please subscribe, if you haven’t already 🙏
@hauntingtheatom.bsky.socialOpened the curtains this morning to a vision of dense mist. Slight chill in the air, too. At last, I'm getting what I signed up for. #Autumn
@hauntingtheatom.bsky.socialAlways nice to see in venues. (Snapped last night at the Shacklewell Arms in Dalston.)
@hauntingtheatom.bsky.socialYeah, I had a good time with it. A feast for the eyeballs - especially the toy displays. And wrapped Lucozade! Proper. 😄
@hauntingtheatom.bsky.socialSome vintage radios enjoying their retirement at the Museum of Brands, in Notting Hill, London. My first visit, it was a really enjoyable couple of hours - and a huge nostalgia blast once the '70s kicked in.
@hauntingtheatom.bsky.socialOlfactory art installations should be called inhalations.
@hauntingtheatom.bsky.socialPopped into a freshly stocked @treadwells-books.bsky.social this afternoon to pick up the @hookland.bsky.social book, and was complimented on my choice at checkout.
(I say 'popped into'; I actually walked 12 miles to get there. It was a rainy, overcast day and I fancied the stroll.)
