Skeleton Frolics by Ub Iwerks (January 29, 1937)

From Wikipedia:

Nuestra Señora de la Santa Muerte (Spanish for Our Lady of Holy Death), often shortened to Santa Muerte, is a female deity or folk saint in Mexican and Mexican-American folk Catholicism. A personification of death, she is associated with healing, protection, and safe delivery to the afterlife by her devotees. Despite condemnation by the Catholic Church, her cult has become increasingly prominent since the 2000s.

The worship of Santa Muerte is condemned by the Catholic Church in Mexico as invalid, but it is increasingly firmly entrenched in Mexican culture.

Santa Muerte is also seen as a protector of homosexual, bisexual, and transgender communities in Mexico, since many are considered to be outcast from society. Many LGBT people ask her for protection from violence, hatred, disease, and to help them in their search for love.

Her intercession is commonly invoked in same-sex marriage ceremonies performed in Mexico. The Iglesia Católica Tradicional México-Estados Unidos, also known as the Church of Santa Muerte, recognizes gay marriage and performs religious wedding ceremonies for homosexual couples.

Man how did I not know about this magical gay skeleton queen until today?

Happy Birthday, Ray Harryhausen!

Happy Birthday to Ray Harryhausen, an artist whose work and influence are as awesome and awe-inspiring as any monstrous titan. Harryhausen was a magician as much as a filmmaker, capable of illusions as wondrous as any conjurer’s. Like Prometheus, he breathed life into clay and created beings as alive as the actors they played against. Stop-motion is an expensive and time-consuming process, so to know that one man was responsible for the skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts, the Cyclops in 7th Voyage of Sinbad, the saucers in Earth vs. The Flying Saucers, and many, many more brilliant creatures is just astounding.

Harryhausen himself was one of us: a fan of monsters who dreamt of fantastical adventure. As a boy, he saw 1933’s King Kong and was astonished by Willis O'Brien’s now-legendary effects. He went on to work with O'Brien on Mighty Joe Young, a tremendously fun movie that never fails to put me in a good mood. From that point, Harryhausen became the O'Brien to generations of future artists, including Tim Burton, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante, Phil Tippet, and James Cameron. Knowing Harryhausen’s love for genre fiction and idolization of Willis O'Brien makes his  incredible work all the more endearing and that much more genuine. From fan to legend, Harryhausen is an icon to monster lovers and dreamers everywhere. He sent us on fantastical journeys, introduced us to magnificent monsters, and made the world feel truly magical. Ray Harryhausen was cinema’s greatest sorcerer. .
