Didn't Pillbox create a Tumblr or somesuch after the images disappeared from Flickr? I have vague recollections. God knows how we'd even find it, though, if such a thing existed.

Well hey, would you look at that: http://www.flickr.com/photos/leechlake/sets/72157629754853602And also more broadly: SCREAMcaps! - outtakes, alternatives and other misc. images from the ILX Top 100 HORROR Movies Poll

hey guys- I still have all the images. Can we fix this somehow?

I uploaded all of them to flickr at the time.. clearly that was poor long-term planning. They are archived, and I would be happy to dropbox them or something. Also, I am open to suggestions.

I just watched THREADS and wow -- the scene quoted upthread where the woman pees her pants stood out to me too. it really accelerates after a year -- i watched most of it last night and the last 20 minutes this morning and omg the horrors just kept coming. one of my favorite images was the black-clad shuffling diggers/ farmers? by that time i couldn't quite tell what they were doing. amazing film. and that it was a TV movie? my feelings can be best summed up by a scream emoji

It was certainly the talk of the playground the following day, iirc.

i remember there being a real turning point when ruth started gnawing on some radioactive raw meat. that is the most standout moment when i thought "wait kids are watching this?" and after that it didn't slow down, it accelerated. i was really into nuclear disarmament as a kid and if i had seen this, idk what effect it would have had. would i have become even more of an anti-nuke zealot? would i have exploded? either way holy shit.
FYI it is on Shudder and USians you can get that free for a week (in the US at least)

I told myself I would buy shudder membership for my birthday and then I didn’t do it. Thanks for reminding me!

I am SO glad I didn’t see threads as a kid. I still haven’t seen it! I’m still scared to.

I will once again recommend the similar, quietly-terrifying Testament. I'm seemingly one of the only people to argue for its deserved status as horror, though, so caveat emptor.
I just bought The Day After sight unseen via a recent Kino sale, curious to see how much nuclear terror that induces in me.
― Digital Squirts (Old Lunch), Saturday, 1 September 2018 22:45 (five years ago) link
Agree abt Testament
― Οὖτις, Saturday, 1 September 2018 23:10 (five years ago) link
It's funny, I actually didn't feel any (old familiar) nuclear terror erupting after seeing Threads -- it didn't make me freak out at all. In fact, I think this movie made me want to live...more?!

Sadly, not in the city anymore.
