FEAR CABIN: THE LAST WEEKEND OF SUMMER Official Trailer, Poster & Images

Six friends head to a remote cabin deep in the woods for what’s meant to be an unforgettable final weekend of summer — filled with partying, laughter, and carefree fun.

But their plans take a dark turn when they discover they’re not alone. An unexpected and sinister guest is already waiting for them, and soon, their vacation becomes a fight for survival. Will they make it out alive, or will the horrors lurking in the shadows claim them one by one?

Black Mandala is proud to present "FEAR CABIN", a thrilling horror film directed by Brian Krainson and starring Jeremy London, Brody Wellmaker, Violet SinClair, Mackenzie Messick, Brian Krainson,  Jennifer Barlow,  and Parker Denning.

With a fresh twist on Evil Dead-inspired horror and elements drawn from the most chilling paranormal hauntings, FEAR CABIN delivers a heart-pounding ride into terror that pushes the limits of fear.

Stairs

One symbol I'm really curious about in Walpurgis no Kaiten are stairs that don't go anywhere. That's a potent metaphor in and of itself even without the spiral shape and the stained glasswork with the same design as Walpurgisnacht's mandala.

Every time I see this staircase, "The Absolute Destiny Apocalypse" starts playing in my head. If you know, you know.

Walpurgisnacht has been subtly associated with stairs from the beginning--one of the paintings in Homura's apartment show her ascending a similar staircase.

Note: this is the higher-resolution version from the production note with Inu Curry's original drawing, because the anime version is so small and hard to see.

This version is interesting because it's significantly wider, with the coils on the same level. It also resembles a cog or a clockface, and there are humanoid figures appearing to hold up the banisters. It's like a black-and-white photograph crossed with a cartoon drawing--like most of the other art of Walpurgisnacht from this scene, it's very monochromatic and old-fashioned.

Interestingly, there was also "stairway to nowhere" in one of Inu Curry's drawings in the Rebellion Production Not, although it's difficult to see in the final film.

Inu Curry's storyboard of the Fake City sequence from Rebellion (click for full view) vs. screenshot from the finished film (what is most likely the staircase edge visible in upper right).

It's also visible in the lower section of this shot, although it kind of blends in with the bridges and gets overshadowed by the giant moon.

Anyway, all this is to say I'm not sure exactly where this is going, except to say that Inu Curry has clearly been thinking about this for a long time, and so I don't think it's as a random as it might initially appear.

I'm excited to see where this goes--off the edge and into the abyss, presumably, but as always, context is everything.

On Wednesdays we wear pink

Pavtri happily showing Gwen his update vlog on his life: Hehehe, look I totally added this cute cat holding a cup of Chai character on the side! I'm loving this new feature for Spdr So-City app! Lyla is a genius. -Lyla heard this went she sent a happy chibi sticker in his Smartphone being pleased by the new update-

Gwen saw his socials being completely customize: Wow, I just put a black background filter with white fonts, the bright white hurts my eyes at night. -Pav's background had a colorful Mandala pattern and his profile picture being updated-

Pavtri: Awe, no cool posters? No Barbie. Dats pretty boring... it's giving basic!

Gwen fake gasps: Not you calling me basic! I got no time to go all web design like you!

Pavtri: But it's so much fun. Lyla made it like Myspace, very old school but better and advanced!

Gwen: Myspace? Wow, that's so crazy! I wasn't even there when dat happen.

Pavtri giggles: Me neither. Anyway, I'm seeing everyone's page and some of them had already updated their page! -Showing Gwen of their close friends' So-City pages- I really like Peni's

Gwen nodded: Yeah, I think her's is pretty sweet. -Her blue eyes spotted Hobie wearing pink along with Miles- Ohh looks like the love birds are here.

Miles holding his boyfriend's hand with a smile on his face: Hey guys, what's up!

Pavtri: OMB, you two look so cute in pink! What's the occasion?

Hobie shrugs: On Wednesdays we were pink! -This made Miles laugh-

Gwen caught the joke and giggle: Ohhh I get you.

Pavtri looks confused: What? Is that a thing?

Miles: You never watched Mean Girls?

Pavtri: No! What is dat? Wait, I don't think my world has that... maybe... ugh, curses multidimensional changes!

Hobie chuckles: Neither my world. Sunflower was joking around with Ganks and I was miffed.

Miles: I had to explain to him about some Mean Girls joke since Danika, Ganke's girl loves that movie. We always watch it when she's in the mood for it. Anyway me and Hobie watched it, and he thought it would be funny to wear pink since today is Wednesday.

Hobie: Movie was okay. Not my cup of tea. Found the jokes tasteless.

Gwen: I never knew she would like Mean Girls then again, she does like Heather.

Hobie arched his eyebrow: What's that one about?

Miles rub his chin: It's an 80s movie and I think you'll like it. Same concept three mean girls name Heather and a girl name Veronica. Veronica like this bad boy and they kill the main Heather, it's focus on toxic love? -He eyes Gwen thinking he got the movie-

Gwen: Kinda. There's a lot going on.

Hobie didn't look pleased: I can't stand Bullies, Sunflower.

Miles: Then maybe you'll like But I'm just a cheerleader. -he knows his boyfriend has a complex taste in movies. Sometimes he criticize the shit out one if he doesn't like it and he rarely watches them. If anything he mostly stick to Horror/thriller or psychological films. Anything that he can dissect. Comedy is always a hit or miss, he did find Hangover assuming.-

Pavtri whines: I wanna see Mean Girls! Can we have a movie night to watch!

Miles: Sure! It's a cult classic!

Gwen: Maybe we should watch Rocky Horror Picture Show, too. I know, you haven't watched it yet.

Hobie gasps at his Sunflower: LUV, you never saw it! -Now that's one of his favorite movies-

Miles: Sorry, bae! I never felt ready to watch it... I dunno doesn't-

Hobie cut him off: No, we're gonna watch it! You'll find it amazing! In my world, we do a full blown show and wreak havoc on the streets all for Anarchy! We'll watch it tonight!

Gwen: Maybe we can do Saturday? I'm free that time.

Pavtri looks at his schedule: Me too!

Miles nodded: Same.

Hobie: Alright, Saturday. At your place, luv?

Miles agreed: Sure, I'll let Danika know. She loves that movie like gurl will make a Mean Girls party. I wouldn't be surprise if we have to dress up.

Pavtri's eyes gleam: I still have my Barbie shirt! We can all wear pink!

Gwen: I totally want to be Janis.

Miles: Hahaha, I'll let ya know.

Hobie kisses his boyfriend's cheek: Luv, you would have to wear the Christmas outfit. -His body turns even more brighter and sparkling hearts appeared-

Pavtri blushes: Opp! I dunno what that means but by the looks of it, it gotta be dirty!

Gwen cracks up seeing Miles' shocking face: Hahaha, Miles have to do the dance and wear knee high boots!

Miles flick his boyfriend's forehead: BONK! Go to Horny Jail! -he huffs-

Hobie whines and begs for his sweet Sunflower to wear the outfit, but Miles ignores him. Gwen had to show a picture to Pavtri about the outfit and dance scene so he understood. Of course, the two were teasing Miles to do it, too.

Was tagged by the illustrious @harbingerofskulls , thank you! :D 3 ships: Well. I don't really get into ships so to speak. but I DO like ships. so allow me to be a rascal here and misinterpret this question :3 off the top of my head- The King of Red Lions from Wind Waker, Kapp'n's boat from Animal Crossing GC, and of course, Saira's UFO from Saira (it's got radio!!! and pinball!!)

First ship: Now that'd have to be the beauty that is The Flutter from Megaman Legends. Oh how I wanted to take her for a spin as a kid. Still do. Look at her.... Fishe.

Last Song: 2D or not 2D has been back on my mind the past few days for some reason. Sometimes one simply must return to one of the greatest music videos of all time I suppose. (Forever thinking of you, skeleton saying Oh Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet)

Last Film: ...if concert dvds count, then Susumu Hirasawa's The 9th Mandala....if not. I genuinely don't remember haha. Have found it hard to sit down for a whole film as of late. Currently Reading: Regrettably, nothing...I keep meaning to pick up Blame! though. Swear I will get to it eventually Currently Craving: Honestly? Can't think of anything. If I can expand the scope past food and drink then I really want to get some hairspray and try to make my hair defy gravity like a Visual Kei dude. Just to know if it's possible. I feel like I just have too much length but those guys do it somehow right?.. WAIT hold that thought actually I also want a hot doughnut. have not had a hot doughnut in a hot minute. Somebody help me anti-grav my hair and then lets go out for doughnuts. Fav Color: Black and white and red. but among close company I am known for my love of purple and teal as well. Relationship Status: Single Last Thing Googled: Honestly no idea. Things I have to google leave my brain immediately after I'm through with them and I've got a habit of searching everything in incognito so I can't even check. Sad Current Obsession: hmmmmm......Wataru Kamiryo (I mean he is always an obsession but. been particularly on the mind lately...beautiful beautiful vampire man.. I wish he would release another solo album.) Not directly tagging anyone because my brain is kinda cooked atm BUT consider yourself tagged if it suits your fancy. tell em ol' higherhell sent ya.

[thefreeblackwomanslibrary]

The Free Black Women's Library is thrilled to host interdisciplinary artist and educator Desiree Mwalimu-Banks, with a special screening and discussion of her film Transmissions From The Sacred Feminine: A Labyrinth Journey Into The Center of The Hive

This experimental film stitches together global narratives of the sacred feminine to the story of her becoming an artist, priestess, and daughter of the African Diaspora. It s also an articulation of the water mandala, a foundational blueprint that circumscribes water’s ability to conceive, nourish, purify, and re-member its mark.

This 34-minute film is presented in a series of 13 sections, based on the phases of the moon according to the life-cycle of a honeybee, and described through the storytelling vehicle of the water mandala. While the bee’s journey in the hive throughout the phases of the moon represents a measured archetypal chronology, the film is presented both in and out of time, using a non-linear sequencing framework.

Throughout this weaving, viewers are invited into and out of these spiraling dimensions of the labyrinth.

We will engage in a special meditation activation prior to watching the film, with a community discussion to follow across both live and virtual platforms.

Light refreshments will be provided.

All are welcome to attend.
